I have been to Ocean's 12 (late Night show, saturday) These are my observations...

I will be back to blogging soon.

What could be the most appropriate way to name a sequel for an immensely popular movie called Ocean’s Eleven?

Put in another person and call it Ocean’s 12. It doesnt matter what the other person does or doesnt do. And if the the other person happens to be some one as hot and as sexy as Catherine Zeta Jones, nothing like it. Oscar winning director Steven Soderbergh definitely seems to have taken this train of thought.

The movie starts of well with Andy Garcia (Terry Benedict) picking out all the Eleven and convinces them in his own curious ways to pay him back the money they have borrowed from him.

The Sum? A Cool One Hundred and Sixty Million Dollars and interest, and within a time frame. Two Weeks. Now, it doesnt take a nobel prize winner to guess the Eleven’s Next course of action. They plan another heist. (Claps and whistles all around!!! What an Original Idea!!!)

Ofcourse there are the usual twists and turns as to how they would pull it off and the gadgetery and the works, with an additional element thrown in. Competition.

A theif trained by the famed La Marque (Albert Finney) gets jealous and tries to prove himself to be the best .. and thus starts of by throwing the customary spanner in the lives of the Eleven. (This forms the background and foreground, in fact the whole ground for the movie)

From then un, the movie goes thru a typical and bollywood type planning complete with some witty oneliners, two liners, winks and the works.

The movie looks tacky at best. There is no element of surprise after the first 20 minutes, and the plot, the scenes and the direction look hurried and shabby.

The movie starts of with a bang, and ends in a sound that would make a whimper sound like armageddon.

But look at the brighter side. Clooney is the hottest. And age seems to be working magic on him. Zeta jones is so mouthwatering and Brad Pitt is stylish as ever.

The music is reminiscent of Bad Boys, and it is pretty pleasing.

Julia Roberts looks tired, Old and Bored.

If you want to have a couple of laughs and want to oogle at Clooney, Pitt and Zeta jones, this is the movie for you. An absolute no brainer. But not at all boring.

One caveat though. Do no go to the movie expecting something in the Lines of Oceans 11, you will be severly disappointed.
