Movie Natters: July 3, 2007 Archive

Adrift on the Oceans

I'm on the early shift this week at the radio station, meaning I am off work to go to an early show. Sadly, as I scanned the schedules yesterday there was nothing that really floated my boat.

I have seen a lot of the offerings already, although far from everything. I am saving the Rat film for when we have younger visitors in town next week.

Malcolm the 16 year old and I ended up at a matinee for "Oceans 13" and walked out a little dazed. It may have been sleep depravation of course, but we both wondered how a movie can have so much plot but so little exposition.

Yes, it's a caper movie, and there are meant to be surprises, but this Oceans is just silly.

Everyone does look really smooth though, and maybe that's the whole point.
