Ocean's Eleven

Ocean's Eleven.


This is one of those movies that I can watch over and over and over agan and never really get bored of. Sure, it's not perfect. It's not the heist of all heists. But really, I just think it's a great movie. It's funny, it's smart, and Brad Pitt can speak to everyone when his character, Rusty, is constantly shoving food in his piehole. And I think one of the best things is that even in the end, after I've seen this movie a thousand times, the end still gets me because I forget what happens. Plus, I mean, it has a young Matt Damon in it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. At all. Before he became Jason Bourne.


If you haven't seen this movie, here's the gist: Danny Ocean (George Clooney), gets out of prison. His trusty pal Rusty (Pitt), is around and they scheme up a heist. Which, of course, requires more than just them. With a rag-tag team of crazy people of various talents, they take on this guy named Terry Benedict's three casinos with the intent of robbing them blind. It's entertaining, a good movie for a boring day, and will probably make you want to go and try and think of something as intricate as they did, but, unfortunately, you won't be able to.

Also unfortunately, this was followed by two sequels, but we won't talk about those since this one was the most cohesive and the one that made the most sense in the series. And I mean in comparison to the other two. It's a good movie, though. Bernie Mac, Scott Caan, Brad Pitt, Clooney, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck. It's a good show. You should watch it.
