Nicholson, Freeman star in The Bucket List, out on DVD now

Not exactly typical summer movie fare, this feel-good film could be handy if you grow tired of movies with people in tights and capes and magical powers. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star as a terminally ill odd couple that flees the cancer ward on a globe-trotting journey to do all the things they’ve always wanted to do in life before they die. In the process they go from bickering to best buddies, and stop thinking so much about death and start enjoying life. Rated PG-13.
