The Bucket List

February 1st 2008 03:45

The Bucket List is a touching, heartwarming story, that places two men from opposite sides of the track, together. One is a mechanic with a great knowledge of history and the rich life (Morgan Freeman) and the other (Jack Nicholson) has the importance and rich portfolio.

Together they embark on a last journey, where they try to experience things together, fun and exciting that will change their outlooks on their current lives.

This movie may be completely improvised as, a lot of lines are from these great actors pasts. This is the first time Freeman and Nicholson have done a movie together, I am sure.

Directed by Rob Reiner who has done numerous other topflight movies such as Sleepless in Seattle, Throw Momma from the Train and Alex & Emma. This film was written by Justin Zackman who had Morgan Freeman in mind for the character of Carter from the get go.

I definitely recommend this movie, though the "critics" have not embraced this tale. This is an inside look into the end of life experience from two different outlooks. It may drag in parts and not have much to it, but with these two stars carrying the film it comes off as an above average movie with a story to tell and some history if you listen.

Up next for my Top Choice movie will be "Juno".

I saw a trailer for this movie, and I'd probably give it a chance... looks like it might get a little predictable, though..

Yeah it is a nice movie very heartwarming, a journey worth taking especially if you are a fan of either star. PS-> I did laugh until I cried at least once, you'll see.
