I’ll be rating movies on a three zone, 5-star scale. Each movie will be rated
on “Visual Appeal”, “Audio Appeal” and “Story Appeal”. Each of these three
zones can be rated up to 5 stars (or asterisks…. they load faster than

Ocean’s Eleven (2001)

Synopsis: A career confidence man assembles a team to pull an elaborate casino robbery in Las Vegas.
Thoughts: Ocean’s Eleven has a sort of MTV/Matrix style of production, with a swanky-smooth lounge flavor. It was OK. The climax of the robbery was, for me, the best part. There was a lot of quasi-neo-sci-fi James-Bond-type
gadgetry, which, if I was a little less informed, would be really cool. It sort of had a “Sneakers” feel to it but without the good music. All in all, it was an inoffensive film, but not especially gripping. Having seen it in a theatre (something I RARELY do) I’ve seen it enough to not need to see it again.
