An insult to rats everywhere.

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2007)

Won't they ever stop? But I guess as long as moronic audiences worldwide pay to see this kind of plastic, soul-less drivel, there will be "Ocean's 14", "Ocean's 15" and maybe even "Ocean's 39". And by the time "Ocean's 88" comes out all of our brains will have drowned in that particular ocean.
However, if you thought this movie franchise was more pathetic than anything else that is going on around now, think again: the incredibly transparent media hype surrounding O13 is even more pathetic. Almost every day do we get bombarded in the media by various supposedly "witty" remarks Clooney or Damon make about each other or other cast members. Clearly, Clooney and gang a sad "rat pack" make, so the producers needed to devise an original way of making sure that everyone in the world knew that Clooney and others were "really cool". Nevermind the fact that everything is probably scripted (i.e. every "ever-so-casual" utterance) or that Clooney is about as "cool" as one of his dead pigs, or that Damon and Pitt look like someone put women's faces on male bodies...
I don't think much of the old rat pack either, but even overrated mafia midgets like Sinatra were more interesting than this sorry bunch. Dean Martin had more talent in his fixed nose than Clooney & co. combined.
Aside from the movie being dull and idiotic, I was horrified to see Pacino and the ever-ugly Barkin with their new, plastic-surgery-ravaged, faces. They look grotesque. Won't anyone tell these Hollywood fools that after 30 facelifts you start looking like a bizarre creature from another planet?
As for Barkin, a certain Gary B. wrote in the IMDb biography that Ellen is "unconventionally pretty". Isn't that just a nice, PC way of saying she's ugly?...
