Worth staying alive for!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2004)

To be brutally frank neither I nor my mother have yet seen this film BUT WE SO WANT TO!!!!! After all, Ocean's 11 was absolutely brilliant, one of the best films i've ever seen and i've seen quite a lot. And it cheered mother up no end, as she wasn't very well at the time. She isn't very well now, as a matter of fact, and is confined to her bedroom (actually, she's confined to her bed, but that's another story) but her eyes lit up and I could tell she was keen when the teasers for this started appearing. We won't be able to get to the cinema (well, she won't, anyway) but let's hope it turns up on DVD pretty soon, or VHS. It's a shame sometimes that films like this can't go straight to video to help out the housebound and bedridden. Still, there's that nice Mr Chan in the local market who often has these things on DVD even before they're released in the cinema over here and he might be able to help me out. Anyway, how can you not want to see this film? It's OCEAN'S 11 (and this is the clever bit) PLUS 1!!!!! How cool is that? And it's got George and Brad and Julia and Matt!!! They're all so great, I really feel like they're my friends. I'd love to invite them round. The only fly in the ointment (that actually happened to us recently, btw, as the weather has been a bit up and down) is that Vincent Cassell is in it. He's French and tends to do a lot of arty stuff which I'm not too keen on. Mother saw 'Read My Lips' but didn't like it as it was in French and she wasn't going to be bothered to read the subtitles. Anyway Cassell looked awful and my mother said that he should be ashamed of himself, turning up to work looking like that. Anyway, I hope they don't give him much screen time as I don't see why I should have to read subtitles when the film is full of Americans so I hope they've got him to speak English or dubbed him or something. Anyway, enough of my yakking, as you Yanks like to say. Go see it. It can't be bad!!!!
