Ocean’s 13 / USA / 2007
Ocean’s 13 is Steven Soderbergh doing cinematic color-by-numbers—this is essentially his first two installments, only with Al Pacino and without Julia Roberts. (Fair trade, I suppose.) There’s barely even any plot development, save for a five-minute scene featuring Clooney, Pitt, and Izzard, which has a very grainy, shot-in-my-kitchen-this-afternoon feel to it and is utterly terrible. But magic happens when the gang of men finally reaches the casino floor, sabotaging the new Vegas Strip eyesore of Pacino’s Willy Bank. This is pure fun—harmless, predictable, but enjoyable from start to finish, with Carl Reiner and David Paymer stealing the show; though not as good as the original, it’s much better than the sequel. (Plus, any film that brings Super Dave Osborne back into mainstream popular culture is worth something.)

Ocean’s 12 gets such a bad rap. Having 13 fresh in mind, I really gotta say that it is the weakest of the three Sodey Ocean’s films [has anyone seen the original?]. The only thing that kept me going was the idea that they were all in it for the Gould. Clooney and Pitt’s nostalgia for 70s Vegas [ie 70s filmmaking and all that Elliot Gould built] truly moved me. But it wasn’t enough. Yeah, Damon’s nose played and Barkin exibited some physical comedic talents, but it was all a bit off – stale. At least 12 felt fresh and I always enjoy watching it.
