Summary: Jason's 5 (Stars that is)
Review: Great movie! What more can I say? Usually I don't like "star-studded" movies, but this one is great. It has great suprises as it unfolds the characters only to top it off with a great suprise ending. I'm sure to add this movie to my DVD collection soon!

Summary: A Simple Smash and Grab...
Review: After a one-2 Oscar punch with TRAFFIC and ERIN BROCKOVICH, Director Steven Soderergh, decided to lighten up a bit, with OCEAN'S 11. Recently released from prison, Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is soon up to his old tricks. His plan is to steal $150 Million Dollars from 3 Las Vegas Casinos, owned by the lover (Andy Garcia) of his ex-wife, Tess (Julia Roberts). In order to pull off this complicated hiest,. Danny enlists an ecentric group of buddies to help out, while trying to win back Tess. A remake of the 60s "Rat Pack" film, there is no denying that the film is ipossible to ignore. The star-filled cast is fun to watch in what is basically a flawless piece of fluff. Soderbergh takes viewers on a ride. His crisp direction and filmmaking style hits a perfect pitch, especially in a caper flick like this . I still maintain though, that Clooney is not as great as some people think. At times he seems rather stiff here, as he has, in most of his other roles. Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, and Carl Reiner, all have a few moments to shine.The DVD has some good extras. Chief among them though, are both commentary tracks. They are a lot of FUN and informative. The featurettes are alot like the film itself, "Fluffy". It also includes 3 trailers, a 5.1. audio track, and some DVD-ROM stuff. Fans of the film's stars are in for fun. Fans of Soderbergh, will like seeing him do his thing as director as well. Count me in. Recommended.

Summary: A fun slick spoof to relax with. Not to be taken seriously.
Review: This lighthearted romp of a caper movie is a remake of the successful 1960s film staring Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Las Vegas Rat Pack. The title refers to the name of the lead character, Danny Ocean, played by George Clooney, who assembles a team of 11 men to steal $180 million from a casino. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the film is a slick spoof all the way, the high profile cast being the glue that holds this film together. There's Brad Pitt and Matt Damon and Julia Roberts and Andy Garcia and Elliott Gould and Carl Reiner. And there was no expense spared on the wardrobe or the glittery sets or the use of modern high tech special effects. Forget about the story; it's not supposed to be real. But yet there's fast paced action and tension throughout as the cast deals with setbacks and complications leading up to and including the caper. It's fun all the way. Just relax and don't take it seriously.

Genre: Drama While being incarcerated in a New Jersey jail, parolee Danny Ocean formulates a plan to win back his ex-wife and take down three of the largest casinos in Las Vegas, all within twenty- four hours of his release.
Ocean's Eleven, remake of the 1960 film, staring the Rat Pack, proved it needed no introduction as actor George Clooney and director Stephen Soderbergh worked together in creating this stylish action packed drama. This remake is definitely worth the wait. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) devises plans amongst prison walls to bring together eleven men to perform a casino heist and win back his ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts). The success of this movie comes from a thrill seeking adventurous storyline, and from casting some of the finest actors on set to create a movie that is only to be applauded. With the likes of a young pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon); Ocean's main man, the smart and stylish Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt); casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia); with Ocean's ex-wife Tess, played by the stunning Julia Roberts; and Danny Ocean portrayed by none other than George Clooney himself, where could the acting go wrong? The cast took the film to another level, one of class and excitement. Ocean's Eleven is a film with no dead spots. As Clooney and his carefully selected crew continue to make adjustments to their plans, so continues the action and suspense for the audience. The movie allows the audience to have fun and be part of the action, as well as being able to witness a well thought-out (yet non-realistic) plan. The stakes? Win more than $150 million dollars or loose eleven people's freedom. The team of eleven all have their individual moment or two in the limelight throughout the film. The bigger names in the entertainment industry such as the Clooneys and Roberts didn't exactly have to be the center of focus to make this movie work. This allowed a different perspective on character input into the film to arise, and those less highly profiled actors such as explosives expert Bashar Tarr (Don Cheedle) and electronics expert Livingston Dell (Eddie Jemison) get to show off their talent and love for performance. These techniques made Ocean's Eleven different from other movies while maintaining at high level what I see as an insightful and interesting drama film. With an experienced director such as Stephen Soderbergh, Best Film Academy Award last year for two of his previous films, Erin Brockovich and Traffic, I didn't expect anything less than an outstanding movie, and that's what I got. I felt that Soderbergh set out to do no more than create a quick and fun film, and Ocean's Eleven matched up to, if not improved upon, my expectations. After walking away from this smart, clever, and stylish film, I would highly recommend Ocean's Eleven to all those who are prepared to play along with adventure and drama. Ocean's Eleven will show you a good time, as it doesn't pretend to be anything it's not.

Summary: A waste of time
Review: Ocean's Eleven, if you can get past the blinding glare of beautiful people, stylish costumes, and slick cinematography, is an extremely boring movie. The characters have no depth, or any genuine connection to one another, and the plot could be mistaken for that of a documentary. The viewer simply sees a group of guys plot and execute a robbery. Oooooh. Aaaaah. I hate using cheesy "criticspeak" cliches like "eye candy," but I really can't think of any other way to describe this sugary, empty [movie].

Summary: OCEANS 11
Review: OCEANS 11 WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE. IT WAS ACTION PACKED AND BRADD PITT & GEORGE CLOONEY WERE GREAT. THE MOVIE IS ABOUT CASINO ROBBERIES AND IT VERY FUNNY AND ACTION PACKED. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE WHO IS EITHER A GEORGE CLOONEY OR BRAD PITT FAN AND WHOEVER LIKES ACTION PACKED MOVIES.

Summary: entertaining, but predictable
Review: This movie is really great for a couple of hours of fun. It is really entertaining and has a strong all-star cast. But, its really very predictable. A bunch of crooks try an almost impossible job and then happy ending. There were twists, yes, but not too unique. The movie was certainly very well done. I would highly recommend it to any body who really just wants a good fun movie to watch. It manages to be suspenseful at times even though you know how its going to end. I am a huge Julia Roberts fan, so of course she was great. i also loved her character. but, in any case, i highly recommend this movie to people of all ages!
