...research, which led to the first commercially available CT scanner in the early 1970s. CT was a huge plus: It could image so many things in the body that were difficult, painful or simply impossible to see otherwise - brain tumors, spine problems, problems in the liver or lung. Nevertheless, in the '90s, CT scans were largely upstaged by the vastly more complex - but radiation-free - MRI scan. Overall, few docs would disagree that the MRI is a better test.

...keeping with Hollywood form, Cole and Chambers learn more both about themselves than each other during their time together. Reiner’s clichéd premise—as expected, both men end up better after their journey—serves as the primary weakness of the film. Nevertheless, the fun he provides along the way compensates for the lack of originality. Whether a fan of Nicholson’s eyebrow raising and age-inappropriate womanizing, or the moral weight that Freeman effortlessly lends to the screen, “The Bucket List” delivers. Between a priceless...
