I Want The Last Cheque I Write To Bounce

Advantages: A reasonable follow up to the orignal
Disadvantages: Script wasn't quite as good as it could have been

...off the job in Vegas Ocean's 11 vanished into retirement, all taking a separate direction and enjoying their money. The day they all dreaded has arrived as Vegas casino boss, Terry Benedict turns up demanding his money back with interest within 2 weeks. As they are now too hot to work in Vegas they head to Europe to try and get as much cash as they can, as quickly as they can.

...fair to say that while Ocean's Twelve isn't as good as Ocean's Eleven or even Thirteen, it is still a good movie and provides just over 2 hours of entertainment that holds your attention as you try and keep track of what's already happened and what might be about to happen. As well as the return of the original cast, director Steven Soderbergh returns to keep the original team together. He is obviously a well established director and producer and ...

conspiracy theory

Advantages: great action/ thriller with Mad Mel
Disadvantages: none

...movie relied on the many conspiracy theories that were circling the globe to create a dramatic thriller of a movie. **BRIEF PLOT** New York cab driver Jerry Fletcher, (played by Mel Gibson), is a conspiracy theory nut. Unfortunately, his mentality is in question as he continues to try to convince his friend, Alice Sutton, (played by Julia Roberts), who works as an attorney in the Justice Department. Alice spend most of her spare time trying to ...
...Writing a movie about a conspiracy theory isn't a new idea, but this script goes beyond that as it airs many theories in the guise of Jerry's ideas, but which theory has him running for this life? The movie runs along at a good pace and has everything that is required, such as chases, killings, explosions, romance and more chases. With the extremely exquisite twist towards the end, regarding the connection between Alice and Jerry, the movie really ...

The Pelican Brief

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...Pelican Brief ‘is based on the book by John Grisham. It is a really well made film, which builds up tension so well and has you at the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. Julia Roberts plays a smart-arse law student Darby Shaw. She is in a relationship with her tutor Thomas Callahan. In the news they hear about two Supremes being killed. Darby decides to write a brief about who the suspects of the murders could be. She ...
...shows to a friend in the FBI (just as a laugh!). However Thomas is killed by a car bomb and Darby soon realises it was meant to kill her. This of course means her theory must be right and have some weight for such an extreme action to be taken. She turns to reporter, Gray Grantham (Denzyl Washington) for help. I won’t give away the rest of what happens as it will spoil the film for people who haven’t seen it. The film is a good and ...

Oceans Twelve

Advantages: Great looking men
Disadvantages: Slow in places

This the sequel to Oceans Eleven, and follows on very well. The guys have basically been enjoying the high life for a while, spending the dough they nicked from Benedict. Except he has just found them all and wants his money back plus a lot of interest. Oh dear. The boys end up in Amsterdam to do a few jobs to try and get themselves out of this hole. They end up also being chased by the lovely Catherine Zeta Jones and also by the night fox, another ...
...that he is the best. But will they be successful, well you better watch the film and find out! Well i did and I love good looking men, and this film is the best for fulfilling that need. Brad Pitt just looks divine and George Clooney is so handsome. The script is good, although a bit slow in places. The only thing that was weird was the whole Julia Roberts thing! a bit bizarre to say the least. Matt Damons acting was brilliant and really pulls ...
