Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
Danny Ocean (George Clooney) leads an all-star crew of eleven on a complex, $160M Vegas heist. There's a dash of romance here -- the casino owner, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) is dating Ocean's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts), and part of the scheme is winning her back -- but it's mostly just a comedic heist ensemble. Parts of this strain credulity, but the scheme itself is great fun. The whole thing feels easygoing and effortless, making it just the thing for a bad day. Well, everything other than Don Cheadle's utterly dreadful Cockney accent.
