            <description><![CDATA[Big Al. Clooney. Pitt. Wit. 'nuff said.

It's one helluva ride, folks -- and unlike other triquels (read: Spiders and Pirates) that hit the mammoth-screens this year, Ocean's 13 doesn't disappoint. Hell yeah, Danny's back with the gang that we wowed all over. And hey, we still are.

Reuben (Elliott Gould) is ill. Er -- near death. "Shock" goes the doctor. " It'll help his case if there's something to live for. Like a family." And he shrugs. "Friends?". And the mail comes pouring in, but that isn't buying back his life. It isn't. We tap back, four weeks in time.

Hotelier Willie Banks (Awesome Al Pacino) chucks the deal, loses the partnership, and ditches the partner. All's that left, is a Reuben signature that the latter declines. "I'm not signing anything", the old man grumbles. And, as a matter-of-fact, no-one messes with Banks. No one. So, um, yeah -- Reuben is cornered.

"What, are you gonna throw me off the roof?"

"I don't want to?!"

What Banks is really aiming for, is to secure that special award again -- the 5 diamonds -- lovely studded stones to add to his own enviable collection. "It can't be stolen" goes Ocean. "We thought about it -- we can't do it."

Enter Ocean (George Clooney) and his gang, and two of his favorites -- Rusty (Brad Pitt) and Linus (Matt Damon). The motives are straightforward -- revenge and riches. They hatch a plan, the same brilliant gang, but there are issues. To start with -- they need to manipulate the dice, and that's controlled at the manufacturer in Mexico. And -- yep -- that's where their act begins. Problem two -- the funding for a machine that generates a quake to give Banks a 'shake'. But they're broke, and they need an investor. Oops -- and here come the funds -- Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia). "Double my investment" he says, and leaves it to the forum to answer.

"Double", says Rusty.

"Is that a yes?" -- a Benedict-inquiring look is shot to Ocean.

"Double", goes Ocean.

Oh -- but here's the catch.

"And the diamonds."

Oops.

The rest of the heist is best enjoyed at the cinemas, so this is a movie you'd want to pick over a Sparrow or a Webcrawler. It's a convincing burst of deceit, sunk in the tux-studded world of the stakes at Vegas. It's a pure casino flick, and strangers to blackjack, roulette and the works would find themselves lost, as they always do when they watch them darned Ocean's.

Ah, forget the tux -- what makes this work are the stars. Clooney's smooth as can be, and makes a sharp motormouth pair with Pitt. The verbal one-two almost always leaves the audience wanting more, on the edge of their seats, waiting for that killer statement to burst out in laughter, that wit-coated flurry of language that never made it. Matt Damon's carried on the good work from his previous outings with the setup, and it shows -- he *can* act. Al Pacino gives what's expected of him -- a class act, and the support cast more than fill the deal. It's fast, it rarely drags -- it's that kind of flick you'd sit through and just enjoy for what it was. It doesn't set a trend, the lines aren't over memorable, but in this dump of junk triquels that Hollywood's been churning out, these are 122 minutes that do to you what you pay it for -- entertain.

And tell you what Ocean -- you ain't just half smart.

'nuff said. Go watch. 'coz it sure as shit ain't sad.]]></description>
