The Bottom Line

The Bucket List pairs up two of Hollywood’s best for the very first time, which begs the question: Why has it taken so many decades to get Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson together onscreen? These two should have done something together years ago. The buddy chemistry is all there.Director Rob Reiner apparently had a really easy job helming this comedy. Reiner let Nicholson be Nicholson and Freeman be Freeman, and that’s what will draw in audiences. Even moviegoers who, like myself, think it’s weird to see Nicholson playing an elderly man should appreciate what these two film veterans bring to these characters.

Aladdin is a street-urchin who lives in a large and busy town long ago with his faithful monkey friend Abu. When Princess Jasmine gets tired of being forced to remain in the palace that overlooks the city, she sneaks out to the marketplace, where she accidentally meets Aladdin. Under the orders of the evil Jafar (the sultan’s advisor), Aladdin is thrown in jail and becomes caught up in Jafar’s plot to rule the land with the aid of a mysterious lamp. Legend has it that only a person who is a “diamond in the rough” can retrieve the lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin might fight that description, but that’s not enough to marry the princess, who must (by law) marry a prince. Written by Murray Chapman {muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au}

In the not-so-far future the polar ice caps have melted and the resulting raise of the ocean waters has drowned all the coastal cities of the world. Withdrawn to the interior of the continents, the human race keeps advancing, reaching to the point of creating realistic robots (called mechas) to serve him. One of the mecha-producing companies builds David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, especially a never-ending love for his “mother”, Monica. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically. A futuristic adaptation of the tale of Pinocchio, with David being the “fake” boy who desperately wants to become “real”. Written by Chris Makrozahopoulos {makzax@hotmail.com}
