Summary: Decent...but not the original
Review: The good thing about "Ocean's Eleven" is that it is a retelling, not a remake. Had it been a remake, my head would have exploded watching Brad Pitt try to play Dean Martin.However, that is also the problem. This is NOT the original. Dean, Frank, and Sammy were larger than life personas. They had a presence which will never be duplicated. This is not to put down Clooney, Pitt, Damon, et al. Nobody could recreate the magic of the Rat Pack. And the ending of the original was classic. The new ending, although pretty good, just can't compare to the original. Basically, if you loved the original, you will not be completely satisfied by this version. Clooney and friends gave it a great effort. But stick with the Rat Pack.

Summary: Enjoyable remake
Review: In this movie George Clooney plays Danny Ocean, who has just been released from jail. He has two goals--to rob three Las Vegas casinos and to win back his ex-wife (played by Julia Roberts) who is dating the owner of the casinos. He assembles 11 men to help him and they are played by such crowd-pleasers as Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Carl Reiner, and Elliott Gould. The movie is fun, slick and full of high-tech and low-tech gimmicks which help Ocean's 11 gain access to the casinos. My biggest complaint is that Julia Roberts is miscast and underutilized as the trophy wife/girlfriend of the two adversaries. However, if you can put that aside, Ocean's 11 offers an enjoyable evening of entertainment.

Summary: You're Either in or You're Out
Review: Ocean's Eleven is slick, stylish, funny, and clever. From beginning to end I never once got bored with this movie. Clooney, Pitt, and the rest of the crew really get into it and make us want to see them win. Though I would have liked to see Julia Roberts do more in this flick than she did, I felt her skills were semi-wasted, but she did good with what she did. This movie reminded me a lot of The Sting, with all the tricks Ocean and the gang pulled, I was smiling a lot more than I did at the Sting-eque ending to Bandits. Memorable characters, setting, and scenes makes this movie a must watch.

Summary: Fantastically enteratining
Review: I'm usually hard pressed to name what my favorite movie from any given year. That's because I tend to categorize them. So, in the category of 'Most Entertaining Big Budget Hollywood Mainstream Movie', there is an easy answer for 2001. It's "Ocean's Eleven" by a nautical mile. This is one of those classics that gets overlooked at awards time, but, I suspect, it may be fondly remembered long after some prize winners have been forgotten. The original "Ocean's Eleven", released in 1960, was a big hit because it starred Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack friends. It's not a great movie; in fact, if I made a list of a thousand movies someone should remake, it would not be on it. Director Steven Soderbergh obviously saw things differently. He lifted a few savory elements out of the original, added in his own ingredients and came up with one delectable movie. He reversed the order of things by taking a very ordinary film and turning it into an original. Charming con artist Danny [George Clooney] is fresh out of jail. Learning to make license plates has done nothing to reform him. He used his time in jail to dream up his ultimate heist. Soon he's presenting his plan to his favorite partner in crime, Russ [Brad Pitt], who has been reduced to teaching the Hollywood elite how to win at poker. The idea is to relieve three Las Vegas casinos of $150,000,000. Russ is skeptical to say the least, since security at these casinos makes Fort Knox look like easy pickings, but he agrees to round up a crew. Meanwhile, in Vegas, Danny's ex-wife, Tess [Julia Roberts], is now the mistress of the three casinos' owner, Terrance [Andy Garcia]. Knowing this, you will not be surprised to discover that this heist is also a bit personal for Danny, who conveniently forgets to tell the rest of the gang about this little fact. There is enough star power in Ocean's Eleven to light a small country, but this is less of a vanity project than you might expect. It's more like watching an acting troupe that happens to have some very famous members. The script is smart and sophisticated and provides enough interesting characters and memorable dialog for all the players to sparkle without resorting to upstaging. This is NOT a 'guy' flick, even if it is all about a bunch of guys doing guy things. Julia Roberts, the only 'chick' present, has the weakest role. And everyone involved, including the lady herself, knows it. In a sly wink at the audience, her credit reads "and introducing Julia Roberts as Tess." Soderbergh has become one of my all time favorite directors in the last few years. He's something special, a brilliant director who seems dedicated to reviving the notion that popular entertainment can also be intelligent entertainment. Instead of 'dumbing down' the audience, he's out to smartening it up. What a cool guy! And what a cool movie! [NOTE: Admittedly, this is entertainment pure and simple. I try to rate movies within the range of what they seem to be trying to accomplish. So, within the confines of 'purely entertaining', I gave "Ocean's Eleven" Amazon's highest rating because it succeeds brilliantly on that level.]

Summary: Not A Bad Con.
Review: "Ocean's Eleven" is one of those films that does not attempt to be a stirring social commentary or a barrage of poop jokes that's supposed to be a comedy (although there is only one joke involving human waste in this film). It is simply meant to entertain, and it does just that. George Clooney stars as Danny Ocean, a paroled thief who decides to rob a major casino owner (played by Andy Garcia) of his casino's earnings during a boxing match. He assembles a crew of eleven theives to pull of the heist, but why would he want to go through with this seemngly impossible job? Is it because of the $160 million dollar pay off? Or maybe it's because his ex-wife (Julia Roberts) happens to be the casino owner's new girl? What do you think? This movie manages to put together a nice ensemble for our crew (including Bernie Mac as a con artist, Carl Reiner as an aging thief, Don Cheadle as a explosives expert, and many, many others) and the solid performances and brilliant dialogue managed to keep this movie from being an empty, flashy caper flick and makes it an enjoyable, flashy caper flick. The DVD itself has some nice additional stuff, including a commentary with the director and writer (dry, but funny nonetheless) and one with several of the stars (such as Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, and Matt Damon) that's just as fun. Definitely worth a look-see.

Summary: You have to be kidding me!
Review: After all the wild hype on Amazon and all the 5 star ratings - I took a chance and bought this DVD - (On sale thankfully)
Everyone must be smoking something wacky that wrote these reviews - this was a terrible movie. First of all the plot was so unbelievable I couldn't stand it. A bunch of dimwitted idiots break into the most secure vault in the entire world. Right. Gee - they must have really done their homework on this one. It was so easy for them to get the blueprints of the Casino and con all those really tough guys running those expensive casinos in Vegas. Heck - Brad Pitt had it figured out all by himself! Second - the script and acting were both terrible. I guess if you assemble enough BIG NAME STARS - you don't need a good script or acting right? All we have to do is look at actors like George Clooney and we forget all about what good acting is. He's such a hunk! Oh - and that incredible chemistry between Julia and George - I just couldn't get enough of it. I could go on and on about how this movie drags, how the actors have no chemistry together, the terrible accents some of them use, (not to mention the terrible color transfer of the DVD) - but I won't. (Oh I do have to mention how believable breaking into the University bomb lab was and stealing a sort of Nuclear proton thingy that doesn't hurt people but simply knocks out the electricity of an entire city - now that was incredible!) (Or how about the way they duplicated the actual vault - built it in their spare time out of parts they purchased from their local Radio Shack and then filmed a fake event to fool the Casino guys while recruiting a real live Swat team to get the money......ok ok I'll stop. I don't want to spoil one of the greatest movies experiences of all time for many of you. Oops I forgot to rate it 5 stars.
