Ocean's 13

And there it is—the third installment in that legendary franchise by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney. I caught it recently, and I have to say, the film isn't bad at all. In fact, it’s quite a funny watch. Word is they'll be promoting it at Cannes soon, and the critics are expected to give it a pretty warm reception. The absolute highlight for me? Seeing Al Pacino play such a complete sucker. He played the role brilliantly.

Does anyone happen to know when this hits theaters here in the States? And if you're feeling extra helpful, does anyone have a clue when it might show up in theaters in Seattle? Please let me know...

The premiere's hitting the USA on June 8th—looks like we won't see it here until maybe a few months later. Al Pacino 😍

The original was the only one worth watching; I honestly can't stand this remake... 😬

I'm loving them all, honestly. The first one was solid, the second was great, and I'm already counting down the days until the third one drops.

The first one was solid—fun, actually, and not half bad either. The second? Total garbage, if I'm being honest 🙂. Really hoping this one hits like the first did..

I absolutely loved this movie. It’s got such solid foundations—for instance, you've got Brad Pitt constantly snacking on something. And every single time they try to explain something to Matt Damon, they go, "And, well, you absolutely must never..." only to have some distraction pull his attention away right then,

So what about Pacino? Come on, tell me, tell me!🙂

The first installment is easily the gold standard for this genre, whereas the sequel feels like a completely forced, nonsensical afterthought.

Oops, my bad—I think we had a bit of a misunderstanding there! I haven't actually sat down to watch the third one yet, but I am definitely going to get to it as soon as I can find the time. What I meant was that I loved both of the previous films; they were absolutely fantastic!

That is exactly what I am wondering about too... 🙂
But let’s be honest, he’s bound to be brilliant, as per usual.😍 🙏

Part one was absolutely flawless.
I went into part two totally blindsided—honestly, my first reaction was just, "What on earth were they thinking?" It felt like such a mess. But after letting it sit for a few months, I revisited it and realized it actually holds up quite well. It doesn't quite reach the heights of the original, but it’s definitely solid enough.
As for part three, I'm really hoping they've smoothed out those hiccups from the second installment and brought back that genuine charm and cleverness we saw in the first movie, rather than repeating the mistakes of the sequel.

The second one? Honestly, when I watched it for the first time, I was just baffled. Total nonsense. But then, a few months later, I gave it another look and realized it actually holds its own—not quite hitting the heights of the original, but definitely solid enough.
As for the third part, I’m just hoping they fixed whatever mess they made in the second one and brought back those classic touches from the first film, rather than doubling down on the mistakes of the sequel.

I just realized all the numbers I threw out there actually add up to 13.😬

Great.

I have to say, I am genuinely looking forward to this movie. If it manages to capture the same magic we saw in the first two installments—you know, the way they handled the original *Ocean's Eleven* and its sequel—it is absolutely going to be a massive hit at the box office.

Ugh, that movie was terrible.🤮 🙂 🙂 Personally, I found Fight Club—you know, the one starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton👍—to be quite enjoyable. Or perhaps that isn't even the right title? My apologies if I've managed to muddle that up again.😍

Personally, I've always been a fan of AC/DC's "Back in Black." I also have a soft spot for Ben & Jerry's ice cream—specifically the wild berry and mascarpone flavor. But, much like Fight Club, none of this actually has anything to do with the topic at hand. ☕

Watched it tonight. Honestly? It’s actually good. Not bad at all. The plot isn't some convoluted mess like the sequel, and the ending hits the mark. Bringing the action back to Las Vegas was a smart move. 👍

Definitely better than the sequel..

I actually sat through the second one, but man, it was a total snooze fest—I'm definitely not even interested in hearing about the third installment.

Look, I’d definitely recommend it. It’s way better than the sequel. They basically went back to basics—instead of all that forced romance and vague subplots, it’s just a straight-up, high-stakes heist. The humor is subtle, buried in the details. It’s a solid movie. I was actually pleasantly surprised.
