The Bucket List

I'm a little hesitant to write this, because I know Kat recently posted on a movie in theaters right now...I don't want the blog to seem too redundant.

But I have to tell you - for the love of God, go and see The Bucket List!
I wasn't particularly in the mood to go to the movies tonight, and I was definitely skeptical about The Bucket List. I knew my Dad, the undying fan of Nicholson, would enjoy it, but I doubted it would be anything special. I was wrong.

Every scene is cathartic, but that sneaks up on you. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are flawless: they make the film at once lighthearted and deep. You'll think about beauty and majesty and value differently, for the evening at least. I've rarely seen a movie capture a pinprick of humanity so honestly and so completely.
