Ocean's 12 !!

WACAW !!! What a movie...WHAT A MOVIE !!
Ladies and gentleman,I have finally arrived..I watched my 1st first day-first show simulataneous world-wide release movie(almost that is..it was nite show on the first day(??) b/w 11 PM and 2 AM !!)
I am a bit of a sucker for hollywood movies with a bit of style and attitude..but Ocean's 12 !!! no words to describe it..I'll not explain the plot..and No..i wont answer the question- "Who is the 12th guy to join the team ? "
Humour..subtle at that...Amazing and apt background score (esp. the one for Vincent Cassell's dance to avoid the laser beams at the museum) and the usual oodles of charisma from Brad Pitt,George Clooney and Matt Damon..Chutzpah..i think is the right word..
Catherine Zeta Jones ? Umm...whats the right word ?? lemme see..Gorgeous ?? not quite...Gorgeous-to-the-power-of-100 ? DEFINITELY !!!
Julia Roberts ? Makes me wonder why people consider her beautiful..i mean...come'on people !! Even our home-grown desi kudi Mallika Sherawat looks better.. Whoa !! hold ur horses..i said "looked" better !! I didnt mention anything about "acting" skills !

Nevertheless JR has a cute role..playing herself..(dont worry..u'll get it when u watch the movie..)
But the cake and all of it..leaving the crumbs to the rest is presented to...OCEAN'S 11 !!!
Of course..there's no central character who steals the show..Clooney and Pitt have their moments..Damon comes closest to ruling the scene..Andy Garcia is as cold as u want a Las Vegas baron to be..but..the movie is about the team guys..
And they rule...with style and finesse...
But..But..But.. and it's a huge but....the end is a tad what-shall-i-say ?? Sudden (??)..
We expect a little too much from sequels..so..Rule No.1:DONOT COMPARE THE 2 MOVIES !
So...All in all a great movie and a definite mustwatch for an Ocean's 11 fan....

thanks da macha..Prabhakar..ur sudden and impulsive ideas seem to be making Mumbai a little more interesting to tolerate for me...

BP: "Yup."
