The Bucket List is one of the more touching films that I’ve seen in years. It’s not the thrill ride that the trailers seem to make it out to be, but it’s an interesting, introspective, touching film that left most theater goers (when I went) with moist eyes. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman show why they’re such master actors, and the film provides a crucial twist towards the end that probably is the catalyst for all the wet eyes.

Note: A full review will appear at a new site we’re launching shortly.

Jack Nicholson – who recently said he might have 9,000 kids as far as he knew – and Morgan Freeman play two terminally ill men in The Bucket List. Carter Chambers (Freeman) makes a list of all the things he’d like to do before kicking the bucket. Edward Cole (Nicholson) joins him. Together, they escape from the hospital and go on a road trip which includes skydiving, racing, motorcycling, safari, and visiting several countries.

Also appearing: Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), Beverly Todd, Rob Morrow, Rowena King and more. Opens Dec 25th.
