do movies get any more watchable?

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2002)

I work in a movie theater, meaning i get a chance to view upon not only every movie imaginable that comes in (I saw Lord of the rings 5 times for fun)but a chance to see what comes before it comes, if you know what I mean. I didn't do that with Oceans Eleven, but it's so good it makes me wish I could turn back time and change my course. Starting off with George Clooney in a goatee discussing his reasons for being paroled, the movie grabs you by the lapels and never lets go. Clooney and Pitt steal and own the show, most notably Pitt, who is easily becoming the all around coolest actor in all of Hollywood. Everything he touches turns to gold these days. From frame 1 to the joke credit for Julia Roberts, the movie is one great ride. Don "Scenestealer" Cheadle comes in as a guy named Basher, further adding to the element of this movie being the "it" movie of 2001. Not a ten, but a solid, bold, bright, tall nine.
