Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

Bernie Mac's role is small but important. He is funny and wicked. Shaobo Qin has a much larger role in this film. He gets real speaking role…kind of. He has the funniest surprise role in the movie! He moves a lot of the plot and you can't understand at all what he is saying. It is like a strange case of telephone. Can Carl Reiner be my grandpa? He is so funny as Saul Bloom and Kensington Chubb. His scam in the movie is put in there to move the plot sure, but also for sheer giggles! I loved Matt Damon in this movie. He plays Linus Caldwell playing personal assistant to a super millionaire, Lenny Pepperidge. Still wrought with insecurities and parental issues, he had me cracking up more than not. Eddie Izzard needs a larger role as there isn't a role too large for him!

Al Pacino's character Willie Bank is an important character in the movie…Al Pacino. It annoys me to no end that people like the “great” Al Pacino who can continue to get work even when they one, don't act and two, always play the same character. I'm tired of cow towing to actors who don't act and play themselves at every turn. You could take the character John Milton, from The Devil's Advocate, rearrange the words, plunk him in a different background and he would be Willie Bank. I suggest that Al Pacino learn to act or stop being in movies. Let's stop rewarding the one act ponies for playing themselves.

The sixties style gets to be loathsome. Sixtes couches, wall paper, colors and style. Yeah, some of it is funky cool but most of it reminds us why it went out of fashion in the first place.

I admit, I watched Ocean's Thirteen just so I could give it a bad review but damn it, it was fun. The premise of the movie is a little implausible but it is full of fun situations, 60's style and plain silliness.
