Ocean's Eleven

OCEAN'S ELEVEN (2001) - June 4, 2007 (Second Viewing)
Wow! I remember liking this movie a lot, but it's even better than I remembered. For one thing, Steven Soderbergh's direction is absolutely perfect; Soderbergh is a great director and I think this is his best film. It's just such a good looking movie -- Soderbergh's command of the camera is pretty much unrivaled, and his use of music to accompany the visuals is always dead-on. The movie is really fun and fast-paced, and features nary a wasted minute. Plus there's just something inherently fascinating about watching a bunch of guys plan and pull off such an elaborate heist. Good stuff! ****
