Ocean's 13: enough already?

Like Monique, I also took advantage of another 2-for-1 Wednesday (the one benefit of having an Orange handset in the house) and went off to the cinema last night. Phil was keen to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but unlike Monique I put my foot down (small petulent child that I am) and refused to watch some comic-book-turned-movie entertainment. Really not my thing - I can happily enjoy Shrek and the like, but Spiderman et al - absolutely not. Though I would like to see Vacancy (the hotel room based horror flick) I think I'd prefer to be at home to catch that one. With the lights on. So the natural choice was Ocean's 13. Having seen the first two instalments (the second of which was widely panned by critics) I pretty much knew what was in store. A wrong done to someone, and elaborate heist and a cast of sexy A-list male actors. And whilst the film did what it said on the tin - you have to ask, have we had enough of Ocean's already? Well, frankly, no. Sure we knew that the team would pull it off in the end - but then doesn't James Bond always get the lady and save the day? There is absolutely enough room in the market for well shot plain ol' cinema fun - sure beats some of the tragic rom-com dross on the screens.
If I could criticise this film at all is that it didn't have many twists to the story as the first one AND Ellen Barkin was probably not the best choice for her role (what's up with those fake knockers too?) but hey on a half price ticket, I was more than 50% entertained.
Verdict: Wait til it's on DVD if you're not a massive fan of the series.
