Yet Another Perfect Movie For a Summer Night

Ocean's Eleven ( 2001, Warner Bros.) Directed by Stephen Soderbergh and starring Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Garcia, Roberts and yet another perfect ensemble of crooks and cons. Like I said yesterday, when Soderbergh visits certain genres he can go toe to toe with anyone who's ever called the shots. Rarely in film history has a "remake" surpassed the original, but the Clooney/Pitt Ocean's Eleven can drink the Chairman/Dino Ocean's 11 under ther proverbial black jack table. Where the original was loose and dragged, the remake was tight, with the sense of espirit the first tried to sell, and moves like a cage dancer. Check it out! It's a bit of a classic.
