Movie Re-Evaluation: Ocean's 13 Better the 2nd Time

Shoot, I got behind on blogging again. And, I was doing so good at the beginning of June.

Hopefully, I'll be posting reviews for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (C+ ***), Transformers (C- **), and Live Free or Die Hard (B+ ****) within the next two or three days.

Ocean's Thirteen


I saw Ocean's Thirteen again a couple weeks ago, and it was definitely better the 2nd time around. The plot has just enough complexities that things made more sense in the beginning and middle when I already knew what the end was.

I also watched Ocean's 11 & 12 on DVD between my two viewings of O13 in the theater, so I got my memory refreshed about Eddie Izzard's character of Roman Nagel and about the French thief, both of which were in O12.

So, I now feel better about O13 and feel it deserves an A- rather than B+, which makes it my 2nd favorite movie of the year so far, right behind Waitress.
