Summary: The Year's Best
Review: You are crazy if you don't get into your car and drive to the nearest theater that is showing this film on Dec. 7th. I would say that this is the biggest hit of the year. Not only for the reasons of the cast; which is by far the strongest we've seen in a while. The plot is interesting and keeps you engaged for the whole time the movie is showing. There isn't one slow moment in the film. The storyline is great and I would recommend this movie to anybody at all. You can take any age person to this as there are no scenes than would be innapropriate for anybody. I would say congratulations to the crew of this film for making the biggest blockbuster of the year.

Summary: Ocean's 11
Review: Ocean's 11- The remake of the rat pack movie.Well, here are some of the positive comments on the film:
1. This movie has an incredible cast: Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts
2. It's directed by Steven Soderbergh, last year's Oscar winner for Best director (Traffic and Erin Brockovich)
3. It's a remake but the story is completely different this time. And the tools are advanced and it's more modern
4. It's a stylish heist movie. Now the negatives:
1. It's a heist movie located in Las Vegas. How many films have we already seen that involoved stealing in Las Vegas.
2. The story is too shallow: Knock off three banks on the day of a boxing match.
3. There is nothing revolutionary about the film. Nothing you haven't seen before. So over all, this is a film to relax and enjoy. It won't be a masterpiece or a classic. It will be remembered as an ordinary heist movie with extraordinary stars.

Summary: Magic Technology, Good Pace
Review: The starring role in this movie was perhaps the magic of technology. The action was well paced. Julia Roberts seemed tired and wooden, as though her personality had been held underwater for the entire film. Her familiar facial expressions in the special features are far more interesting than her performance in the film. She has terrific offstage rapport with Clooney but for some reason that was never captured on film. Brad Pitt was too perfect and somewhat unconvincing as the professional. He was eating or drinking in almost every scene. How did he avoid putting on twenty pounds while shooting? Perhaps he kept a bucket handy for additional takes. George Clooney's opening scene is flawless and the lighting is just right. His first line might lead you to believe you would see a performance equal to his superb presentation in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, but it didn't happen. Clooney is capable of more than the script would allow for. Carl Reiner (Saul Bloom) was marvelous as the High Roller - now there's a fake accent that only a great comedian could produce. Carl Reiner should be in more roles of this type. He is one of the most overlooked actors in Hollywood. If I were a casting director I would be seeking him out. By the way, Carl, you have $20,000 worth of Unclaimed Property on the State of California NUPD website. Go get it! Elliott Gould was a real treat, and his delivery was on a par with Carl Reiner's. The Chinese gymnast (Shaobo Qin) was very interesting, and Casey Affleck is wonderful as the remote control nerd.

Summary: Ring-a-ding-ding, baby!
Review: After directing gritty movies like "Traffic", "Erin Brockovich" and "Out of Sight", Steven Soderbergh decided to take it easy and create a movie whose sole purpose was to entertain. He's done exactly that with "Ocean's 11", an entertaining piece of fluff that mostly delivers. George Clooney leads an all-star cast in this remake of the 1960 Rat Pack caper picture. Thief and ex-con Danny Ocean (Clooney) has recently been released from prison and is already planning his magnum opus: the theft of $150 million from a Las Vegas casino owned by Terry Benedict (a glowering Andy Garcia). But Danny can't pull it off alone, so he recruits his friend Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) and a motley group of shady characters, including Cockney demolitions expert "Basher" Tarr (Don Cheadle), con man Saul Bloom (a scene-stealing Carl Reiner) and light-fingered pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon). The larcenous crew is rounded out by card sharp Frank Catton (Bernie Mac), money man Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), Chinese acrobat Yen (Shaobo Qin), and bickering drivers Turk Malloy and Virgil Malloy (the frequently hilarious Scott Caan and Casey Affleck). Complicating things (and fueling Danny's quest) is the fact that Benedict is involved with Danny's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts). "Ocean's 11" unfolds smoothly through the standard caper-movie set pieces: the setup, the heist and the getaway. There's lots of snappy patter, played very nicely by the talented cast, and fantastic music--I'd like to see Soderbergh's record collection. Clooney exudes movie-star charm and hipster cool in the role Sinatra originated as ringleader Ocean; it contrasts well with the smoldering Garcia. Cheadle is a hoot, if vastly under-used, but that's the problem with ensemble movies. Brad Pitt, in a standout role, manages to act rather than just coast on his good looks. Ocean and Ryan are a natural fit, like Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. I'd like to see their characters in another picture. The only real stumbling block in my mind is the romantic triangle involving Danny, Tess and Terry. Roberts and Clooney just don't click. There simply are no sparks between them, as there were between, say, Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in the crackerjack "Out of Sight". This made it difficult for me to care about their fractured relationship, and whether or not they would ever make up. In fact, it was pretty much the only sour note in the movie, but it was a big one; it just felt tacked on (pretty much like Frank Sinatra's and Angie Dickinson's relationship in the original). And so, to sum up this too-long review: "Ocean's 11" is not a classic like "The Sting", but it's pretty good nonetheless. My grade: B+.

Summary: yet another example............
Review: Hollywood has managed in this film to once again show
how really great it is to be a thief.....And they managed to use, in my estimation, the top worst to do it.
Clooney, who always portrays himself in no matter what role he takes...Pitt who walks thru his role like a zombie throwing in one liners to make it interesting???? And let's not forget the token female, Roberts, who I am still trying to figure out how she can be the most beautiful woman in the world, or is it one of the top five in the world? I forget......
The only redeeming thing about this film was the presence of Garcia and maybe the Las Vegas location. I have no plans to see the sequel as I am sure it will be more of the same humdrum
as this turkey was. To me it was just as boring as the original one only an updated version.

Summary: Good once you realize this is aslick but not deep movie
Review: While the cast consists of some very good actors & actress (Julia Robets, George cloony, Brad Pitt, etc.) this isn't a very deep, motivational film.
It's more about style - Vegas how we'd all like it to look & be: bright lights & loads of money, no losers (except for those greedy casino owners who deserve being hit every once in a while).
The extras (including some documentaries & 2 commentary tracks) were good.

Summary: Dude...Its's a movie
Review: There should be comments to reviews - cuz man alive, the dude who dissed the entire film and then had to bring terrorists into his review is a tad bit critical. Stop smoking the weed...paranoia is getting to you. And when it comes to movies, there's this thing called 'the suspension of disbelief'...obviously something you didn't indulge in when you were a child. This movie is fun and about as believable as Lord of the Rings...but hey, didn't that get an Oscar? But who cares? Ocean's Eleven doesn't pretend to be a real movie, and that's what's so fun about it. Even actors playing themselves aren't really themselves. As for Julia, I'm not a big fan either, but she did the film (for scale) just like all the other actors for the sheer bliss of working with buddy Soderbergh. If it were a nobody, it wouldn't work. Because who else could play the jilted lover opposite both Clooney and Garcia? Certainly no one as minute as what's coming out of Hollywood today. Not enough screen presence. This movie is fun. Period. And worth every second.

Summary: Not bad at all.
Review: This was a great movie with a few twists and turns. If you like movies that have a lot of wit and quick, funny dialoge, this movie is for you. Oceans 12 wasn't that good, though.

Summary: One of film's all time best crime capers!
Review: This is fun from beginning to end...clever, fun, fast and funny. Every component is there: from the direction and writing, to casting and editing....incredible score, effects and production values. In spite of the fact that it's about a huge robbery, it manages to be entertainment devoid of Hollywood-style violence and profanity. A true blockbuster!
This bargain DVD includes two great, warts n' all commentary tracks: one smart ass track with Soderbergh and Griffin, the other with 3 of its stars (Damon proves again that he's the smartest, most savvy of today's underestimated film hunks).
You won't care that Don Cheadle's dialect coach was overpaid or that, for all her glamour, Julia Roberts still has difficulty walking in high heels...you will love this great movie, again and again!
