Has anyone else seen the movie trailers for The Bucket List? I've been catching it recently while playing on NetWinner and it looks like it'll be very interesting. Here's the synopsis: Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star as two terminally ill cancer patients who decide to break out of the hospital and live their last days to the fullest in director Rob Reiner's seriocomic road movie. Edward Cole (Nicholson) is a corporate billionaire who is currently sharing a hospital room with blue-collar mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman). Though initially the pair seems to have nothing in common, conversation gradually reveals that both men have a long list of goals they wish to accomplish before they kick the bucket, and an unrealized desire to discover what kind of men they really are. But one can't accomplish such lofty objectives from the confines of a hospital bed, so now in order to live their lives to the absolute fullest Edward and Carter will have to make a break for it. With a check list that includes playing the poker tables in Monte Carlo, consuming copious amounts of caviar, racing the fastest machines on four wheels, and much more, these two terminally ill men will do their best to fit a lifetime of experience into their last remaining days while forging an unlikely, but truly remarkable, friendship. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide Courtesy of http://movies.aol.com/movie/the-bucket-list/27000/synopsis The link I've provided shows the synopsis and even provides a link to watch the trailer, if you're interested. I've never made a Bucket List before, but I don't think I'd add the things these guys had on their list, lol, how about you? If you've ever made a list like this, what kind of things were on your list? If you've never made one, what would you include on yours?

With ticket prices at $8 each, I rarely go to the movies anymore either. I can usually wait on it to come to cable, but the question was actually about making a list like they did in the trailer, lol. ;)

I saw the trailer on youtube some months ago and I'm excited to see. it's release in the states is in decemeber and it will probably take another 6 months before it's shown here in the philippines. The plot's quite unique and with great actors, I have rather high expectations for this film.

Yes, I've seen the trailer and think it might be an interesting movie. I like both actors. It's interesting how both men have aged... Morgan Freeman still looks good while Jack looks like five miles of bad road... Anyway, as to MY list... The only thing on it at the moment is to finish my angel cross-stitch. I've been working on it for a couple years now (it's quite large and complex).

If you watched any of their older movies recently, I can definately agree, lol. Best of luck on finishing the angel soon. :)
