Thanks to Leslie at 99x I got to see "Ocean's Twelve" tonight. Let me give you a little disclaimer here - do NOT go into this movie expecting another "Ocean's Eleven." You can not really compare the two films. Sure, it's a heist film. Sure, it has the same characters. That's where the comparisions need to end. This is a totally different movie. That's not to say it's a bad film. Quite the contrary. "Ocean's Twelve" fuckin' rocks! I loved "Ocean's Eleven"and I loved this one as well. In fact, there were a lot of things I liked about this movie better. For one, the story is better. The plot is more intricate. It's slightly predicatable in spots, but it's still smart and funny and keeps you guessing a lot of the time. The cast is outstanding. The reparte between the characters is as witty as ever. This movie has a very different look and feel. It looks and is cut more like "Traffic" than it's predecessor. That's what I love about Steven Soderbergh's movies. They are slick and well-crafted and don't look like anyone else's films. So, go see "Ocean's Twelve." It's a lot of fun and it makes you think. It's definitely a good way to spend a couple of hours. If nothing else, Brad and Matt and George are as sexy as ever :)
