Ocean's 11
Steven Soderbergh's classy Vegas heist movie OCEAN'S 11 is one of the most purely entertaining films ever made, with a fantastic cast including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. One of the few Hollywood remakes that surpasses the original, this has so much style, panache and wit that it elevates it above the Frank Sanatra caper. Following the excellent ERIN BROCKOVICH and TRAFFIC, Soderbergh has proved again that he is one of the hottest new directors out there. The superb ensamble of supporting cast are all perfect in their offbeat roles, especially Scott Caan, Carl Reiner and Elliott Gould (From TV's Friends). Ted Griffin's top-notch screenplay combined with the A-list cast, this one is a bonifide winner.
The DVD extra features include a halarious commentary with Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Andy Garcia, and an insightful commentary with director Soderbergh and Griffin. "The making of Ocean's 11" is a suitably stylish doco with interviews from the cast and crew and trailers. 5-star entertainment.

Great Stars, Great Movie
I've got to admit, half the fun of this movie is the star-gazing. George Clooney is great as a convict recently released from jail, Brad Pitt is Mr. Suave as his right-hand man, and Julia Roberts plays the icy ex-wife beautifully. Throw in Matt Damon as a pick-pocket and Andy Garcia as a casino mogul and you've got the gist of this movie's star power.
The plot is pretty simple: Danny Ocean (Clooney) organizes a group of eleven highly skilled criminals to simultaneously rob three of Vegas' biggest casinos. Their plans are over the top and outrageous-and you can't help but smile watching them put into action. There are also some really memorable touches in the movie: including Brad Pitt teaching Shane West and Topher Grace how to play poker. This movie kind of serves as a who's-who in Hollywood. "Oceans" probably won't spark any deep conversations or teach you any life lessons, but it's fun watching the celebrities interact onscreen. If you want something deep and thought-provoking, this probably isn't your movie. But if you want to watch something purely for entertainment, this is a great and fun film.

"Well put together"
Ocean's eleven is a well put together movie. It was well directed and acted out. There is also a good story line. I think the best part of the movie was the ending. It made you think, and what happens is totally unexpected. There are a few drawbacks however. The story is very unlikely to happen. There are also some parts that move slowly. This movie is for the thinker, not for one who craves action. Buit I would still highly recomend this movie.
