‘Strange Wilderness’ Reviewed
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008I didn’t particularly want to see Strange Wilderness, but I have to admit I did go see it this weekend. And, while it had its funny moments it was a bad, pointless movie that gets you from start to finish with dirty jokes in various forms.
The plot was absurd and pointless, and so much of the story seemed gratuitous. Yes, I laughed, but I laughed more at ‘Superbad’ and ‘Knocked Up’ (both of which are significantly better movies) but just because I laughed doesn’t mean it was a good movie.
‘The Bucket List’ Reviewed
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008Last weekend I saw The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Reviews for the movie haven’t been stellar, but after seeing it, I have to say that it should be on your list of movies of see this year.
The movie’s strength comes not only from the performances of Nicholson and Freeman, but from a script that addresses the issue of terminal illness with appropriate amounts of humor and drama.
