MOVIE REVIEWS: War, Inc. & The Bucket List

I would not recommend War, Inc., unless one gets a kick out of trying to pick up the insinuated, and sometimes blatant symbolisms of the Iraq invasion (or name a country the U.S. has picked to invade / assist), a really lousy plot, and bubble-gum movie scenes. I'm steering clear of any John Cusak-based movies for a long while ...

The Bucket List is a good movie.  Not great, not fair, but good.  Two gentlemen, actors Morgan Freeman had to do some forced acting throughout it, and, well, as good as Jack Nicholson is as an actor, he had one or two instances of such.  The bucket list would have hit closer to home to me if it were doing things 'closer to home' rather than trans-world adventuring (with no apparent, limited travel / participation budget).  However, the end is sweet.  These type movies always remind me of my mother's short-lived death sentence: 6 months, at best.  By the time she was diagnosed, she'd already lived quite an unintended bucket list.
