The Bucket List, a 2007 movie starring Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman - to me is probably one of the most profound flicks I will ever see. Maybe their will be a better movie tomorrow, or in a year or two, but I doubt it.  But not for me. Two terminally ill men make a list of what they want to do before they die, and set out to do just that.

Critics gave it low points and I am wondering what the heck were they expecting out of this movie. Blowing things up? Nudity and rampant sex?  Super cool dazzling special effects?  Well if thats what an enjoyable movie is to the reader, you wont like this movie. If you want something that feels real and grabs you, makes you feel the dread, then laugh snot bubbles at witty dialog and finally breaks your heart - this is a movie for you.  I recommend it for the rich characterization, the dialog, the philosophical thought put into it, and the heart and of course.., the well timed fun.

There are a few colorful metephors and the subject matter is not for small kids.

PS - Shameless self pimping: Vote on some of my songs in the playlest to the left. I need the high marks - but to keep you honest, vote only on the ones you like best - if you dont like anything on my list? Pretend you like one. Thats honest enough for me - LOL. Simply click on a song - let it load and show at the top of the list you will get stars on the right of the song title - click on the number of stars you think its worth.
