Jumbled Fangirling about Oceans Movies

Hey!

So today I am continuing my spotlight type for this month with a movie well a series that I love so very much!

So Good!

This isn't a new movie series but its so good that I can’t not talk about it!

Oceans Series! Directed by Steven Soderbergh

It has to  be said that yes this is a remake of a movie made in 1960 version using the same name which is also supposed to be a really good movie I like the remake from 2001!
This movie series is just so good guys! It follows Danny Ocean as he enlists the help of his mate Rusty to find a kick ass team of crocks to rob 3 Las Vegas casinos all at the same time!
It has an amazing cast like its sticking all these awesome actors together and in this case it really does work, one oft he reasons I like this series its he interactions between the characters in the movie its so easy and doesn't look forced at all its like they naturally get together and rob a casino every week!

The offical synopsis from IMDB is

“ Danny Ocean wants to score the biggest heist in history. He combines an eleven member team, including Frank Catton, Rusty Ryan and Linus Caldwell. Their target? The Bellagio, the Mirage and the MGM Grand. All casinos owned by Terry Benedict. It's not going to be easy, as they plan to get in secretly and out with $150 million“

The cast is George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Scott Caan, Casey Affleck, Carl Reiner, Elliott Gould, Eddie Jemison, Shaobo Qin BUT it also has Julia Roberts and Andy Garcia who do remain throughout the series in each movie popping up
That line up is awesome people and it makes the movie so much more enjoyable as you can imagine they bounce off each other and create a funny dynamic as there characters each have such funny mannerisms.

With most movies like this you would think that it would be more of a action movie, and it does have some action but its definitely a comedy heist movie but isn't cheesy as some other adaptions of this genre are and it isn't cheesy due tot he large number of stars either I mean if the first one hadn't been as successful then the others would have been worse! I do like the first and second more than the third but I think that's just me.

Look at that cast!

This is as I have said a series and Eleven is followed by Oceans Twelve and Oceans Thirteen (Very original I know) the additions to twelve is most notably Catherine Zeta-Jones and Eddie Izzard (who does appear in the next one as well). And for Thirteen Al Pacino… Maybe its because he was in it that made it a bit eh for me but its still funny and a laugh.

Old school movies but still good!

I also really like the setting of the movies obviously Las Vegas is a great setting with all the massive buildings but maybe the reason I like the second one so much is because it is set in Europe. The music too is really good and adds to the light side of some of the scenes but also gives some suspense and action, I must say Steven Soderbergh knows how to make a movie!

Fangirling over!

I love the story of this series and the plots even the twists which when I first watched them I was like Oh you guys!

I will try post again really soon since this is short

I hope you are doing well and have a great day
Peace : )
