THE BUCKET LIST




I GAVE THIS FILM FOUR STARS BEFORE I LEFT MY HOUSE FOR THE THEATER.
IF I KNOW THAT JACK NICHOLSON IS CO-STARRING WITH MORGAN FREEMAN, MY APPROVAL IS A FAIT ACCOMPLI.
THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL. YOU DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, YOU WATCH THE SUPERBOWL FOR YOURSELF.
THESE TWO MEGA-STARS ARE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME.
I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES, WHEN THEY WANTED THAT REACTION AND I BURST OUT LAUGHING WHEN THEY ORDAINED LAUGHTER.
THEY ARE IN TOTAL CONTROL AND IT IS A PLEASURE TO SEE THEM PERFORM.
WHOEVER CAST SEAN HAYES AS JACK NICHOLSON'S ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT, DESERVES A BIG BONUS -- HE COMES CLOSE TO STEALING THE SHOW FROM THE TWO GIANT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MOVIE BUILT AROUND HIS CHARACTER OF THOMAS AKA MATTHEW.
BEVERLY TODD, WHO I THINK IS BEST KNOWN AS MS. LEVIAS, THE EVIL PARENT, WHO GAVE MORGAN FREEMAN, AS PRINCIPAL JOE CLARK, HELL IN, LEAN ON ME, ALSO DOES A TREMENDOUS JOB, IN THE ROLE OF MORGAN'S WIFE -- THE TOUGHEST ROLE TO PLAY IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE -- THE TOUGHEST ROLE TO PLAY OF ANY I CAN RECALL IN THE LAST YEAR.
LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, ROWENA KING, AS THE GIRL IN THE HONG KONG BAR, JUST IS TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR WORDS -- MY GOD, MY GOD -- SHE TRULY CAN MAKE AN OLD MAN FEEL YOUNG AGAIN - THAT IS MORE THAN ACTING, THAT IS PRACTICING MEDICINE WITHOUT A LICENSE.
TO QUOTE A SONG BY THE TEMPTATIONS -- IF GOOD LOOKS WERE A MINUTE, SHE WOULD BE AN HOUR.
I THINK I HAVE HINTED ENOUGH ABOUT MY FEELINGS FOR THIS FILM.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I RATED THIS FILM HIGHER THAN MY COLLEAGUES AT THE GREENVILLE NEWS, A GANNETT SYNDICATE PAPER. AFTER SEEING THE JOHN MAYER VIDEO BELOW, I WONDER HOW THEY MISSED WHAT I SAW - THIS IS JUST A TREMENDOUS MOVIE, BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS AT THE TIME AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT.
