Ocean's 13
This one is good. Not quite as watertight as the first one, not quite as awesome in every way as the first one, but very good just the same.
Back to the basics... a good old fashioned high-tech Vegas heist. It has the same pace, rhythm, weird camera work, and soundtrack that made the first one so much fun to watch. It would have been more fun to see the 13 doing most of the setup themselves, rather than bribing and blackmailing other people to do stuff for them. Also there were a lot of little plot lines that just weren't very substantial, and probably should have been either further developed, or cut out to make room for others to be developed. Still, you're going to enjoy yourself.
high points: Several funny moustaches, a Mexican uprising, enemies teaming up to fight a common enemy, and unexpected use of the term cougar.
low points: Not quite enough of the 13 (especially the original 11).

Thanks for the urban slang edumacation. I had no idea that phrase existed. However, it's now good to know. May you have mad cheddar.
