At Last

Exams are done, hurray have fun!

Calculus is done, thankfully. After my exam, I packed up my things and dumped them back home. I went to Ocean's 12 w/ Josh, Marcus, Alex, Jerome, Greg, and Chris. Here's the Review

I never could've expected Ocean's 12 to live up to the original. It simply wasn't possible. That being said, I was expecting a heist of epic proportions, and in that regard was somewhat disappointed. That being said, it was my only real disappointment.

Ocean's 12 comes off as a very different picture from the original. The characters are injected with pathos, things don't run quite the way they should, and at times the characters seem anemic, oddball, and pathetic. Other times, the bravado comes out in full force, though never in shades of twelve minus one. The movie is a bit confusing at first, leaving you to wonder exactly why another caper has to be pulled within two weeks, but that aside there are no major holes.

The real enjoyment out of '12' comes from its nothing less than stellar cast. Catherine Zeta Jones lights up the screen as only she can, and for the ladies, there's Brad Pitt - hard to argue with those two bombshells. The rest of the gang, headed by Clooney, and Garcia do an excellent job. Their chemistry alone makes the movie worth watching, not so much as a heist flick, but more as an exercise in great acting. While some parts of the movie are ridiculous (character inconsistencies, ridiculuos stunts, and persona changes) the movie is solid overall, and a delight to watch.
