Before you Drop the Bucket

ASSI - Everyone should have or make a list of things they want to accomplish and do in their life time. "The Bucket List" stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, a movie about two men with cancer who decide to live out there list of things to do and see before kicking the bucket. The movie premiered on December 15, 2007, and is currently out on DVD. Rob Reiner directed this film, he is also a veteran actor and producer, he did an outstanding job of directing, and Justin Zackham wrote "The Bucket List" a touching movie that is dominated by men. Initially I had reservations about seeing this movie. Sean Hayes from "Will and Grace" plays the trusted assistant to Jack's character and Beverly Todd plays the wife of Morgan Freeman's character. How interesting could it be with two seasoned actors playing characters with a to-do-list, but surprisingly it was a moving film that went beyond life's ordinary gifts. The message of openness and forgiveness was the essence of the story, we all know to value life because its short, but we also take life for granted and the people in our lives. Life is precious and should truly be treasured. It is meant to be lived for this is not a dress rehearsal. In "The Bucket List" both men are faced with critical decisions that alter their lives for the better. As I see it there are always signs around us demonstrating how short life really is: in books, movies, newspapers, magazines, factious or factual situations to remind us to treat ourselves and others well. I give "The Bucket List" 2.5 blinks.

Assassins "Wanted" Cold Blooded

AHSI.......Wanted starring Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and rapper Common is telling the story about a group of elite assassins. It is full of action from the beginning until the end of the movie. This film takes you on a journey and has wonderful graphics, and a combination of new and old moves that will impress you. I give wanted 4 eyeballs. I would recommend this movie for all to see.

ASSI - Wanted is a exciting from the beginning to the very end. Timur Bekmambetov the director assembled a crew that made it possible for him to direct an action pack film with some of the best choreographed stunts that I have ever seen. I thoroughly enjoyed this film with the exception of all the rats, which was relevant to the film but cause me to have many discomforting moments during the film, it took some of the enjoyment away, but overall the story and how it was delivered was impressive. Anglina Jolie who often plays a powerful woman commands the screen and does an excellent job portraying Fox who foxy in more ways than one, she is one bad ass assassin, and James McAvoy plays Wes the main character of the film who is taught from the best to be a force to be reckon with. Morgan Freeman and Common also play important roles in the films and delivers their parts making Wanted one of the best movies of the year. As I see Wanted receives 4 blinks.
