Corporate billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and working class mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) have little in common, or so it seems. At a crossroads in their lives, they share a hospital room and discover that surface differences (and sheer contempt) aside, they have a deep desire to experience the best that life has to offer, before they 'kick the bucket'. They write a joint 'bucket list' of and embark on the adventure of a lifetime.

A hilarious and deeply touching tale, The Bucket List charts their journey across continents, to building a friendship and discovering their own identities.

Two great actors in a buddy movie. Again we have Morgan Freeman as the narrator which is a plus because he is always great to listen to.
The advanced age is more noticable on Jack Nicholson than on Morgan Freeman. When I first saw the movie, I sadly had to think that Nicholson does not look like he will be with us much longer. Morgan Freeman on the other hand looks like he will be around for awhile. But you never know

Fear Itself Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

10. Chance
In the vein of such classic doppelganger stories as "Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde" and Poe's "William Wilson," "Chance" explores the dreadful classic battle that ensues when a man is confronted by his evil self.

My Thoughts:
This one... now this one wasn't all that great to me. I didn't find the story very interesting. It seemed to be drawn out as I found myself checking the clock on a few occasions throughout the episode. And I found I really didn't care about the characters.
