    Ocean's Eleven cool, but

    It just didn't have the same charisma the original had, at least for me. On the other hand, anyone not familiar with the original will probably like this particular take. Steven Soderburgh surrounds himself with the likes of George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, etc., etc., so it was pretty hard for him to go wrong.
    Storywise, Clooney and company plan to rob 3 Las Vegas casinos and carry it out, thjough not without complications. I won't reveal anything here about the ending, except to say it is nothing like the twist of the original. In fact, aside from the casino robberies, very litle of the remake is like the original story.
    Picture is gorgeous and sound has some nice low end.

      I watched this movie the other night and thought it was very entertaining. I'm not a big George Clooney fan after the 9-11 thing...(you know I'd have to be a Bill O'Reily fan). But I was pleased with all the other stars included.

      I want to see it on DVD though. I was forced to watch it on VHS with nothing but TV since my pre/pro bit the dust.

        Not a bad flick at all really. I think I would have livened it up with a bit of action of some kind though.

        What did Clooney the loonie do?
