Ocean's Eleven

We went to see Ocean's Eleven tonight and I haven't seen a show sell out like this since, gee, a Star Wars sequel. All I can say is that, though it is not the 'brat pack' original, it's a damn fine movie on par with the brilliant original version of Thomas Crown Affair. If you are concerned about being assaulted by too much of Julia Roberts, go anyway since she's only there for decoration, has few lines and we are mercifully spared and left to enjoy the rest of the movie. It was funny, too, when we were leaving and I overheard some guy tell his buddy "So, I don't get it. Everyone was laughing but I didn't get it. Was it funny?" I predict it will get 7 Academy Award Nominations especially since this years movies have been so unmemorable. Go see it. :)
