Potiche, a review by dfmorgan
Year: 2010 DirectorCastOverviewWatched: 22nd. Oct 2011 My Thoughts: A wonderful gentle comedy. All three leads play off each other marvellously with general excellent support from the remaining cast. At times it almost descended into farce territory but managed to pull back from there and stay a lighthearted comedy. My Rating: A wonderful 4 (From Dave's DVD/Blu-ray Reviews on October 23rd, 2011) Ocean's 13, a review by DragonfireIt's bolder. Riskier. The most dazzling heist yet. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and more reteam with director Steven Soderbergh for a split-second caper that stacks the deck with wit, style and cool. Danny Ocean again runs the game, so no rough stuff. No one gets hurt. Except for double-crossing Vegas kingpin Willy Bank (Al Pacino). Ocean's crew will hit him where it hurts: in his wallet. On opening night of Bank's posh new casino tower The Bank, every turn of a card and roll of the dice will come up a winner for bettors. And they'll hit him in his pride, making sure the tower doesn't receive a coveted Five Diamond Award. That's just the start of the flimflams. The boys are out to break The Bank. Place your bets! My Thoughts I loved the first movie and enjoyed the second one overall even though it wasn't as good as the first. I thought this one was more like the first one. The reason for them all getting together again and pulling the job was more believable since they were doing it for Reuben. Wally Bank was a good villain for the story and I think I ended up liking him less than I did Benedict in the first one. I liked the planning and plotting that they were doing and thought it made for a very entertaining movie, especially with how everything worked out. The cast was great. Brad Pitt and George Clooney work very well together and seemed believable as friends. Overall, this was a very entertaining movie. I posted a review on Epinions after I saw the movie in the theater if anyone is interested. Ocean's Thirteen (From Dragonfire: What I've Been Watching on March 1st, 2009) "Due South" marathon, a review by RickChicago Holiday - Part 2 Glad to see Ray and Fraser working the case together again. The episode wrapped up nicely. A nice bonus in this episode. A couple of great arrangements by a singer named Holly Cole, including "Que Sera Sera". I had not noticed them previously but they jumped out at me tonight. I'll have to grab some of her music. Rating (From "Due South" marathon on July 6th, 2009) |
