Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
Death is a big subject. Maybe one of the biggest of the big subjects. Artists routinely wrestle with issues of mortality and existence, and with some filmmakers, it seems like the longer they work, the more focused all of their energy becomes on thoughts of death: what it means, what it leads to, how it unites us.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a twofer. These two films shouldn’t ever draw comparisons, but I saw them in short order to each other and thought they’d make a perfect double-up.
THE BUCKET LIST and THE KITE RUNNER are radically different films. The quality of filmmaking, the tone, the personal impact they both have… polar opposites. But at their core they are both about a true friendship and the lengths you’d go to for a real friend.

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I find myself rooting for Rob Reiner to make a good film again. I don’t even need “best movie ever” or “best movie of the year,” either. I just want a good solid Rob Reiner movie I can enjoy. Reiner had one of the best runs of any comedy director at the start of his career, but when he ran of the rails, it was pretty much as ugly as ugly gets.
So is THE BUCKET LIST a return to form? It’s got a good cast, and it’s intriguing. Can’t wait for a trailer for this one soon.
Hi Harry & Co. Long time lurker, first time I've ever been within a mile of having anything to write about. I'm a GALCIT (Aeronautical Lab) grad. student at Caltech, more comfortable writing about bio-propulsion and dynamic energy conversion than reviewing movies, but would definitely include "amateur film geek" in my resume of other non-jockish pursuits.
