Based on the best selling science-fiction novel by Steven Gould, Jumper is a movie with a new theme, something not over explored by Hollywood. It has something new and cool every five minutes. A journey through space and time, Jumper stars Hayden Christensen from “Star Wars”, the great Samuel L. Jackson and Diane Lane from “Untraceable”. David Rice (Hayden Christensen) is a young man who discovers he has the ability to teleport himself anywhere in the world by visualizing his destination. Loving his new gift, he starts enjoying to the fullest until he discovers that he is not the only person with those abilities. There are other “Jumpers” and all of them are pursued by a group of fanatics who sworn to destroy those with that gift because they beleive only God should have the power to be everywhere. David then forms alliance with another young Jumper named Griffin (Jamie Bell; King Kong, Flags of our Fathers) and becomes a key player in a thousand year-old war between jumpers and those who hunt them down.

Jumper was directed by Doug Liman the same Director from Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Bourne Identity and brings some very nice special effects. The Blu-ray is scheduled to be released June 10th.

Fox will release Mrs. Doubtfire-Blu-ray on May 13th, they obviously are not superstitious about the date and have no reasons to be as Mrs. Doubtfire was a great blockbuster and probably will sell very well. As the movie is a lot of fun.

I am sure most of you already know this classic but for those who don’t. Here a short synopsis:

Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a struggling actor and no ordinary father, so when he learns his ex-wife (Sally Field) needs a housekeeper and he applies for the job. With the perfect wig, a little makeup and a dress for all occasions, he becomes Mrs. Doubtfire, a devoted British nanny who is hired on the spot. Free to be the “woman” he never knew he could be the disguised Daniel creates a whole new life with his entire family.

The Tech specs are:

• 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video
• English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround track (48kHz/16-bit)
• French and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround dubs and subtitle options

The only disappointment on the Blu-ray is the lack of more HD content as the features will be practically the same as the DVD re-issue.
