"Both are broadly classifiable as science fiction, but Alien is basically a horror flick and Aliens has all the conventions of a war film. That’s a pretty slick transition from one type of movie to another, especially since the switch was so immediate within the series. Most movie franchises don’t play with genre in such a way until they’ve gone through a number of sequels, and even then the series usually just simply takes its characters into outer space, a la Moonraker, Jason X and Leprechaun 4. Genre jumping isn’t that easy, though, unless a franchise inhabits a whole universe in which to expand through. Like Star Wars, for example. Originally a film series, the Star Wars franchise spread out into novels, which has allowed "

"Clooney plays Danny Ocean, a recently released big-time thief, who has big aspirations of knocking over the owner of three big Las Vegas casinos, Terry Benedict. Terry is not only a major a-hole with plenty of enemies, but also happens to be sporting Ocean's former wife on his arm, which makes him an illustrious target in Danny's eyes. Danny pulls together a gang of ten other players, each with their own skills which are needed to bust in the high-security vault which hold the millions taken in by the casinos. Soderbergh squeezes more juice than one could have thought could be had from the material, and the actors provide oodles of chemistry and amiable performances which make Ocean's Eleven one of the hippest and most fun films of 2001. With grainy film stock, a hip funk-jazz score, well-choreographed camera movements and segues, plus good use of Las Vegas scenic locales, it's a treat for the mind as well as the funny bone. "

"Well, in it's defense I can say that Ocean's Eleven is truth in advertising- it's exactly the movie you think it will be. If you are into this kind of thing, you'll like it. I'm not and I didn't. On a list of my least favorite move genres, the heist film is ranked slightly above the Clever Comedy and the absolute bottom of the barrel, the Teacher Movie. In my large and dog-eared book of ethics, I find the fact that stealing is wrong. This is something that virtually all religions and philosophies agree with, so I have never under stood the appeal of watching a bunch of criminals going to great lengths to steal something. But of course, if you do like heist films, Ocean's Eleven is the movie for you. It's a remake of the 1960 rat pack classic by Lewis Milestone that I have not seen and don't really want to. I can't judge whether or not Soderbergh's version is better than Milestone's, but I can at least look at this film going in blind, with no preconceived notions. As advertised, th ... "

"Jason Statham is not a name that exactly inspires confidence in moveigoers.He was director Guy Ritchie’s lapdog for “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch,” before boxing himself in to roles that played up his martial-arts prowess, squelching any dramatic potential that nuanced his performances.Starring in a string of empty-calorie cinematic Twinkies (“The Transporter” films, “Chaos,” “War” and “Crank” were all designed solely to accentuate his pugnacious proclivities) only kept him out of the direct-to-video purgatory that befell fellow fighters Steven Segal and Jean-Claude Van Damme.He’s often dismissed as the British version of Bruce Willis (balding, gruff on-screen demeanor, characters of few words and a cupboard filled with ca "

"Ocean's Eleven sure tastes good (and the cast are all the handsome, dashing male leads you could possibly fit into one film), but it's like candy...not very filling. It's light and airy, and there's a lot of care gone into the making of the film itself, but it doesn't really SAY anything or really GO anywhere, which isn't a slam...'cause I enjoyed it just as much as everyone else. I'm just saying there isn't a lot of meat... "

"I’m a fan of all things Vegas. The wattage on the star power here is through the roof. The funny thing is, I find most of the actors featured (Clooney, Pitt, Damon) to be absolutely face punchable in “real life”, but no one can deny they are good actors. There is a breeziness that is appealing. This is an easy movie to watch & enjoy, as long as one doesn’t overanalyze its actual plausibility. Throwing a bone to old timers Carl Reiner and Elliot Gould is a nice touch. Don Cheadle is one of the most underappreciated actors of this generation. Andy Garcia is awesome as the bad guy, although it says a lot about our modern sensibilities that a group of thieves can be considered to be the heroes. "

"I don't know what happened or how it happened. I didn't even realize that Ocean's Eleven was 5 years old, and yet it is. Somehow, I managed to not see it. Like Amelie and some of the other films I've blogged about, when this odd situation happens, when I happen to miss out on a movie that was seemingly quite popular at its time of release, the question becomes: was it worth the wait? Well, I can give you eleven good reasons why I'm saying "yes" this time around. I really enjoyed this movie. I mean, what's not to love? There are lots of gorgeous men (well, maybe a few but more than the average picture). There is a whip-smart script. And lots and lots of mindless and yet oddly intriguing fluffy entertainment. I mean, the plot is hugely simple. Man loves woman. Woman scorns man. Man is a thief. Woman becomes involved with rich casino mogul. Thief plots the greatest heist of his career and a bit of lover's quarrel type revenge. Thief gets huge all-star crew and some rand ... "
