Author Topic: The Bucket List (2007) Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-22-2007 05:49 PM                        Quite possibly the best movie released in 2007. Need I say more? 5/5 stars Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson both do a great job in this film.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan M. Crist Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 531 From: Hershey, PA, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 12-22-2007 06:13 PM                     Actually the best movie in the last two or three years. If it doesn't win Best Picture, Best Actor (for Morgan Freeman) and Best Screenplay I will be much surprised. 5 out of 5.  |  IP: Logged Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 01-10-2008 12:27 AM                        This was an excellent film. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman did an excellent job. Saw this movie tonight at an all private employee screening at my theatre. 5/5 Stars for this film.  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 01-10-2008 12:55 AM                        Saw it Tue night, loved it. I thought Juno was as good as it was going to get for awhile, I was wrong. About halfway through the film I realized this is going to get nominated like crazy.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I was surprised I must say.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-26-2008 02:01 AM                       Only caught about the last 3rd of this picture. Loved it! Will return for the rest.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 02-19-2008 04:10 AM                        Well i can only but mirror the comments of others. Yes a real good wholesome film. Well acted and some real good lines, it makes one reflect back over their own lives with a few comic moments. 4 out of 5 from me.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-19-2008 10:31 AM                     While I don't share the other posters' enthusiam for this movie, it wasn't bad. However, tell me it wouldn't have been awesome if William Shatner was cast in the Jack Nicholson role.  |  IP: Logged Peter David Bruce Expert Film Handler Posts: 187 From: East Anglia -England Registered: Aug 2007 posted 02-19-2008 05:22 PM                    I saw this today after helping out in another cinemas booth for the morning. cant believe they let me lace up and everything. very trusting. really enjoyed this film. both actors are so well matched and the whole concept of a bucket list is brilliant. film print was very clean and sharp and there were NO LAB SPLICES!. these seem abundant in most prints we get these days. Really solid film and ill look forward to seeing it again with my family. 4/5  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-07-2008 09:53 AM                        We just got around to this one and I really liked it. Not many movies make me "choke up" but this one did. Great job by all of the actors, including the supporting players. It was also nice to have a movie where we got nice big crowds but I didn't have to tell ONE person the whole week to shut up or turn off their cell phone. I am kind of amazed that this film got shut out of the Oscar nominations. It really came out too late to get a good buzz going. I guess the only thing I might complain about was the movie was a bit predictable -- after all it tells you the ending right at the beginning -- but the whole thing was so enjoyable that didn't bother me. 4.75 out of 5 stars for me.  |  IP: Logged Louis Belloisy Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: morris, ct usa Registered: Jun 2006 posted 03-09-2008 01:29 PM                        I liked this movie very much. Two of my favorite actors. For me 5 out of 5. I got a little emotional also. Louis  |  IP: Logged
