I happened to catch Ocean’s Thirteen the other night on HBO and ended up staying up half the night.  I am a huge fan of the Ocean Trilogy, and this movie does not disappoint at all.  Basically, the boys shut down the venture of a backstabbing hotelier (Al Pacino) because the guy double-crossed the Reuben (Elliott Gould).  By the boys, I mean George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon, Elliott Gould, Don Cheadle, Shabao Qin, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Bernie Mac, and Carl Reiner.  Without giving too much away, I want to say that Ocean’s Thirteen is more like Ocean’s Eleven.  It has the fast pace needed to keep your attention yet you know the guys won’t be looking for jobs in San Francisco. They should be set for a while again.

We had Netflix send us Babel. We just gave it a 40 minute try and both Bill and I thought it sucked. It was very slow, and we could not figure out how all the different people connected together. Since it had Brad Pitt and was nominated for a Oscar and had won a Golden Globe, I thought it was going to be good. Needless to say, I was disappointed. If you have seen it, let me know what you thought. Should we have given it a bit more time?
