Oh My Oceans 12

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2004)

Well now that the Oscar buzz(?) has died down for Alexander ; there was none it didn't garner one vote at the Golden Globes and it will go down in history as the next 'Waterworld' we have Oceans 12 to contend with . The original remake of a marginal 60's hit was a lot of fun and had some great moments . Oceans 12 is a sleepwalk for the entire cast . They forgot they were in a movie and needed to act . It is,really, very nice to hear that Catherine Zeta-Jones can drink the boys under the table but what does that say about her acting ability ? Not much . Matty Damon even begged the producers to minimize his role as much as possible ,that is how sure he was of the script going in . As there is an obvious dearth of executive talent in Hollywood .They just keep greenlighting old stale material and prequels and sequels and they haven't had an original idea since the last Pixar film . And alas George Cloony is no Frank Sinatra even if you squint,really, hard . It appears as if the script was written on the fly with the actors being handed new pages daily as the executives(?) got a look at the daily rushes ." Hey, have George say something really stupid in this scene " It all amounts to a great cast in a less than great movie .
3of 5 stars for Catherine Zeta Jones's Breasts
