Sentimental

I can be a real sucker at times for things that are sentimental. As soon as I saw the preview for "The Bucket List" I knew it will probably be one of my favorite movies of the year. If you haven't heard of "The Bucket List" yet, here's a quick summary:

"Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers are worlds apart. At a crossroads in their lives, they share a hospital room and discover they have two things in common: a desire to spend the time they have left doing everything they ever wanted to do before they “kick the bucket” and an unrealized need to come to terms with who they are. Together they embark on the road trip of a lifetime, becoming friends along the way and learning to live life to the fullest. Each adventure adds another check to their list, all done with insight and humor."

Check out the preview: here. If you don't have quicktime or have problems with the above link, the youtube version is here.

So it opens on Christmas day, and I'm pretty psyched to see it. Then this week, John Mayer's music video "Say" just happened to be released as a free download on itunes (the song is from "The Bucket List"). If you have itunes, you can get it here. If you're not a itunes user, you can again check out the youtube version here.

I haven't been super impressed with John Mayer's recent work, but this song just hit me for some reason. Maybe it's the holidays. Maybe it's being away. Whatever the reason, sentimentality has got a hold on me, and I'm really looking forward to this movie.
