Fluff
Ocean’s 13. Cute. Mildly pleasant. Didn’t have to be made, but I’m guessing that fluff like this is what pays for more provocative projects like Good Night and Good Luck and Syriana. In the season of Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Ocean’s 13 is at least easy on the eyes. Tina noted that Clooney, Pitt, Damon et al are so pretty, they had to hire Ellen Barkin to provide the pugnacious (barako) element. Good Oprah bits, and the references to Sinatra remind us that they know where they came from. Saw the original Rat Pack Ocean’s 11 on TV once. Fell asleep.
