Ocean’s 13 Trailor
Last week, the trailor for Ocean’s 13 (youtube version)came out and I just got around to watching it. I gotta say, it looks a lot better than Oceans 12, which thoroughly unimpressed me. For those that don’t know - I really liked Ocean’s 11 a lot and was really pumped to see Ocean’s 12…I think I may have even gone to it the weekend it opened, if not opening day… well it stunk, hands down.
The trailer for Ocean’s 13 was missing one thing which I am very excited about: Julia Roberts. She was fine in Ocean’s 11, but was a huge reason I didn’t enjoy Ocean’s 12 (Tess, pretending to be Julia Roberts - give me a break). I don’t see her listed on the Ocean’s 13 IMDB page, which is fabulous. I am a bit skeptical but the trailer has gotten my hopes up once again - friggin Al Pacino is the antagonist in this new installment. Near the end of the trailer, Andy Garcia is shown bantering with Clooney - this confused me a little bit, is he actually a good guy or is this one of those triple reverse schemes to get one over on everyone at the same time?
Take a closer look at the poster… there are only 12 people on it. Also more importantly, are they sitting at a poker table?!? The trailer did have a glimpse of the vegas strip skyline near the beginning, which is a good sign.
Should this movie have been remade in the first place? I say yes, because the remake was great…but should it have been forced into a trilogy? Probably not…but if 13 is any good, well two out of three isn’t bad.
Meta Content: Should I do a year in review post? Probably not…I find them pretty boring. If I don’t do one, here is the 2006 mini year in review blog: I wrote about some stuff.
Oh…and I got Guitar Hero II for Christmas. It rules.
