Ocean's Thirteen


Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his ever-expanding band of merry men plot their latest heist. Also starring, of course, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle and Carl Reiner. And joining the cast are Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin, one of whom will play Danny's love interest.


2007 was a year of "threes" for movies; Shrek the Third, Spider-Man 3, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Ocean's Thirteen all completed the trilogy in all of the franchises.


Ocean's Thirteen is my favorite of the franchise. Its plot was easier to understand than the first 2, and having Al Picino play the mark was brilliant casting. I'm not a big fan George Clooney, but he and his merry band of criminals made Ocean's Thirteen one of the more fun movie going experiences of 2007. Jamie says "8".
