A Verrrrrrrrry Early Review Of Bald Jack Nicholson And Morgan Freeman In THE BUCKET LIST!

And finally the reason he was all Magoo at the Oscar's by Heckles	Jul 13th, 2007 03:25:05 PM
Sounds like a good film. Both actors are nails, Reiner is a slouch but has made some good movies. I'll check it.
I hope it's better than "Knocking On Heaven's Door" by DerLanghaarige	Jul 13th, 2007 03:25:55 PM
Y'know, the German film with a similar story, starring Til Schweiger (Driven, The Replacement Killers, Tomb Raider 2), which is only watchable because of the guest appereance by Rutger Hauer.
Sounds like a Tim McGraw song. by Nice Marmot	Jul 13th, 2007 03:26:42 PM
I have no idea what Reiner's directed since The Princess Bride, so I don't even associate him with any stinkers. Yet, that is. I'm sure some Talk-Backers will enlighten me on whatever crappy movies he's done since. Can't wait to see the two leads together on screen.
But do they invade China? by SoylentMean	Jul 13th, 2007 03:42:25 PM
If I were dying of cancer I'd at least see if I could breach the wall. Oh, and I'd do two chicks at once.
"i bet the black guy dies!" by CQuest	Jul 13th, 2007 03:43:59 PM
yup, i bet at the end morgan dies and jack has to go on without him. and damn, why they make the WHITE guy the rich guy, and the BLACK guy the mechanic? why couldnt it be the other way around? WHY? fuckin movie studios. lets push stereotypes people! keep it up
queen latifah just did this by CQuest	Jul 13th, 2007 03:45:17 PM
also, latifah just had her movie The Holiday which was pretty much exactly this, but it was just one big fat black woman.
Anything with Nicholson is worth my cash! by Frank Black	Jul 13th, 2007 03:58:17 PM
I do wish we could see him play Jake Gittes one more time though.
A Few Good Men... by idahomer	Jul 13th, 2007 04:17:53 PM
Has it really been 15 years since Reiner made a watchable movie?
Hey! Knockin on heaven's door was good by SpencerTrilby	Jul 13th, 2007 04:29:27 PM
Really. My first German movie. I skipped the Riefensthal ones.
Anyone see those new pix of Nicholson in France? by la_sith	Jul 13th, 2007 04:40:58 PM
He looks like Jabba.
Sounds very good by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 13th, 2007 04:56:42 PM
Count me in.
Am I the only one to yell by skimn	Jul 13th, 2007 05:10:50 PM
PLANT! This sounds like the schmaltzyest schmaltz ever to schmatlz the schmaltz.
Honestly by skimn	Jul 13th, 2007 05:14:41 PM
Its Oscars for everyone!!Blah Blah Blah. Dude, the only reason your girlfriend was crying was because she had to sit through this with you..
skimm by Bloo	Jul 13th, 2007 05:25:07 PM
I was thinking plant too. I'll probably see it, but what got me was the whole "she cried alot (I'll admit I cried a little too)" bit
I don't know what kind of chemo these guys are getting by TheNorthlander	Jul 13th, 2007 05:32:30 PM
but 70-year-olds on chemo do not skydive.
They do if they... by idahomer	Jul 13th, 2007 05:37:26 PM
are smoking some of that A-Grade medicinal pot.
The American President by Larry of Arabia	Jul 13th, 2007 06:17:48 PM
Was after A Few Good Men. Both were after The Princess Bride, as was Misery and When Harry Met Sally. And North. Dear Jeebus... North... At least it was mostly all uphill after that. Then again Alone in the Dark is uphill from that.
READ THIS SCRIPT... by Leafy McPlantsalot	Jul 13th, 2007 06:39:30 PM
a while back. Hope it was rewritten alot because what I read was really really really generic crap. That being said it would have had to had a really good rewrite to get freeman and jack right...right?
God I wish Reiner would t back on form myself... by RockLobster800	Jul 13th, 2007 06:46:59 PM
ut this sounds very sickly sweet....
God I wish Reiner would t back on form myself... by RockLobster800	Jul 13th, 2007 06:47:07 PM
but this sounds very sickly sweet....
Reviewer lost me after "my girlie" by ToneTone	Jul 13th, 2007 07:13:18 PM
But hey, glad to know you're a rocket scientist.
The Holiday? by Captain Hollywood	Jul 13th, 2007 07:54:44 PM
That's what this reminds me of.
People who talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crotch. by DanDelion	Jul 13th, 2007 08:19:18 PM
Good advice.
BUCKERS OF SLUSHO, THIS MOVIE WILL HAVE. by Pennsy	Jul 13th, 2007 08:30:14 PM
Maybe?
Buckets, that is. by Pennsy	Jul 13th, 2007 08:31:08 PM
Dammit.
Bald Nicholson... by Summertime_Killer	Jul 13th, 2007 08:57:24 PM
Did any body notice that at the Oscars, Jack Nicholson looked a lot like Rod Steiger?
HAY WE'RE DYING LETS KILL EXOTIC ANIMALS by ScamsAndFlams	Jul 13th, 2007 09:06:42 PM
bleh
Hunting by malpaso	Jul 13th, 2007 09:09:35 PM
Maybe that's how it ends...Jack and Morgan run into a carnivorous giraffe.
The plot sounds like HAWKS... by AngelinasOilBoy	Jul 13th, 2007 09:15:26 PM
80's movie with Timothy Dalton and Anthony Edwards
Bubba Ho-Tep by The Rappin Duke	Jul 14th, 2007 12:08:56 AM
"What do I really have left in life but this place? It ain't much of a home, but it's all I got. Well, goddamnit. I'll be damned if I let some foreign, graffiti writin', soul suckin', son of a bitch in an oversized cowboy hat and boots take my friend's souls and shit 'em down the visitors toilet!
Sounds EXACTLY like HAWKS by palimpsest	Jul 14th, 2007 02:15:26 AM
Good call, AngelinasOilBoy. HAWKS was a decent little Brit movie from around the time Dalton was Bond. Another recent Hollywood remake of vaguely obscure Brit 80s material? FIREWALL.
It basically is exactly like Hawks... by Sledge Hammer	Jul 14th, 2007 06:24:26 AM
...only with a budget, a hype campaign and two a-list stars in place of Timothy Dalton and Anthony Edwards.
The plot sounds exactly like SHIT by The Ape Giggins	Jul 14th, 2007 07:24:24 AM
Rob Rein-whore, you fuckt up AGAAAAAAAAAAIN!
HAWKS was a good little flick. Jacks got my $$ by kinghenryVIII	Jul 14th, 2007 07:59:46 AM

God, I hope this is good. by Jakes Nel	Jul 14th, 2007 08:22:16 AM
Rob's gotta eat! We haven't had one of those in a while, huh?
PLANT!!! by anchorite	Jul 14th, 2007 09:15:29 AM
Sorry, I hadn't seen anyone call him a plant yet.
To all of you giving Jack your money... by The Ape Giggins	Jul 14th, 2007 09:43:46 AM
I'm glad someone will, because I won't be.
palimpsest... by Darkman	Jul 14th, 2007 10:14:56 AM
This is gonna drive me crazy until I know this: what was FIREWALL derived from?
OSCARS!!!! PLANT!!!! by Thoreau	Jul 14th, 2007 05:44:16 PM
"The actors are amazing, both guys have to be shoe-ins for Oscars along with the screenplay, which seems like it was based on a novel, and no way this doesn't get nominated for Best Picture." whoever wrote that about this movie is either a plant or an idiot
thoreau by thekylegassproject	Jul 14th, 2007 08:14:00 PM
thank god someone else sees it.
So over these list-related plots... by couP	Jul 15th, 2007 03:25:29 AM
Apart from Kill Bill. That had a worthy list in it.
I HOPE REINER PULLS IT OFF! by williamD	Jul 15th, 2007 11:38:27 AM
He made some great movies,but it's time for him to do it again!
Does Nicholson eat a hogey as a last thing to do? by The Dum Guy	Jul 15th, 2007 05:56:52 PM
I hope this is good, 'cause Nicholson rocks for someone who is like seventy.
