The Bucket List

Apple - Trailers - The Bucket List - Trailer 1

I had read a few articles about this a while ago but the trailer has me excited. Big fan of Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman.

Looks like As Good As It Gets Part II - but I'll still see it based off the cast

I like the fact that Nicholson has embraced being an old fucker and didn't struggle to try and keep getting "youthful" roles as he aged. This looks really good=)

I saw this movie and was very pleased with it. I am surprised it is getting horrible reviews. I think its more that critics hate Reiner than anything else. I laughed, I cried, sometimes I was doing both at once. Well acted, good message. Was a breath of fresh air and gave me a bit of hope for 2008 as 2007 was the worst year in movies just about...

I thought it was pretty good.

It was reasonably cliched, you could see the ending a mile away. And if you already know what Kopi Luac is (i do) it ruins a big ongoing joke throughout the film.

However it was well acted, and the double whammy at the end of a Morgan Freeman monologue, and Jack Nickelsons eulogy had me on the edge of tears.

The movie got HORRIBLE reviews in the papers where I lived but I saw it anyways and I actually really enjoyed it. I am not sure how it got 1/4 stars and a D- grade from some reviewers. Freeman and Nicholson were great and I loved the story. I would recommend seeing this movie, don't listen to the reviewers.

I enjoyed it. It wasn't anything really special and didn't have too many surprises, but I don't regret spending 2 hours watching it, and can't you ask more then that from a movie these days?!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: one its slghtly unrealistic that when you are given a year to live the guy in the next bed is given the same prognosis but also happens to be a multi billionaire and will help you do everything you wanted to do in your life. the other very small problem is Nicholson has fallen into a similiar acting rut as pacino. he does the same character in every movie as he did in As Good as it Gets. well cept in About Schmidt.
