okay it's my birthday tomorrow, don't ask how many times I have gone through June the 26th , perhaps I'll tell you, perhaps not. Here I am wanting to try my hand in blogging a movie. Recently my husband and I watched The Bucket List (2007). Directed by Rob Reiner. With Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Sean Hayes. For those who do not know and I admit I wasn't aware what a bucket list is, it is a list of things you wish to do before you are not able to do them at all. Like things to try before you die. According to my amateur reviewer skills, I consider this to be a real 5-star! Two terminally ill men were fated to cross paths in a hospital ward. For me it is a story about determining to come to terms with who we are, what we have become, and the reasons why we are where we are until death catches up with us - yes, I agree that its never too late to live life to its fullest. Apparently not a lot of people (I suspect these are men!) do not like this movie and gave it a D rating but hubby and I sat down with it and laughed and got sad together watching it, makes for a moment when you really have to plan and decide what to do when the end is near...I give it a fabulous rating due to the emotional perspectives and *A* score because Morgan and Jack are 2 of my fave actors..Jack as usual slipped into his impossibly but endearing wealthy tycoon character, Morgan is the practical realist average guy and Sean did not really play a significant character but the verbal exchanges between him and Jack are priceless...Well they were able to realize everything on their lists including the very last one which was to " witness something truly majestic ". I wont tell you what it was. Go on, watch it...As for me, I'm going to sit down and figure out what for me is to "witness something truly majestic"....!
