56 of 67 people found the following review helpful "Coo-Coo, Baby!", By J. H. Minde "Everything I need is right here" (Boca Raton, Florida and Brooklyn, New York) - See all my reviews This review is from: Ocean's 11 [VHS] (VHS Tape) OCEAN'S 11 is a real time-capsule classic. The ultimate "heist" movie, starring The Chairman of The Board, Dino, Sammy, Joey, Peter, and the rest of The Rat Pack, this one is worth seeing just to watch "the boys" hanging out together and getting into trouble.The late Fifties All-Adult ambience of Vegas is priceless, as is the hep cat cool which just oozes off the screen. Let's face it: How many men could get away with calling the President of the United States "Chickee Baby"? Well, Frank called JFK precisely that. Even Bill Clinton was never that swingin'! The storyline is a standard potboiler involving a group of old Army buddies setting up the biggest theft in American history, five Vegas casinos. Frankie ain't doin' no singin', and the film's a bit slow moving in spots. They're playing it a little too straight and serious,and there are less laughs than chuckles, and no sex, but the film was a product of it's times (1960) and still had to get past the censors...

Lawford and Bishop would kicked out by Sinatra later on) for Warner Brothers and this movie was far and away the most popular of the bunch. Many of the actors who hung out with Pack like Shirley McLaine would find themselves in various cameo roles in this film. Though Sinatra was looking for a film script that he and his pals could do together, it was Peter Lawford who found the book "Ocean's 11" and the rest is history.Although the DVD cover calls this movie a heist caper, the script must rank as the most easygoing heist even presented on screen. The title character, ex-paratrooper Danny Ocean, who is played by Sinatra, calls together ten members of his old unit to plan and execute a multi-million dollar robbery of five Las Vegas Strip casinos and much of the beginning of the film is spent...

Some say John Coltrane is cool. Other say Clapton, Dylan, or Lennon are "cool." Lenny Bruce is "cool" to some, and Miles Davis epitomizes "cool" for others. For me, there isn't a man who has EVER lived who personified "cool" more that Mr. Sinatra. You can see what I mean here in the first motion picture that casts the infamous "Rat Pack" in major roles, "Oceans 11." Playing an ex-WWII soldier, Sinatra's Danny Oceans plans the greatest heist in history: Rob five Las Vegas casinos at once on New Year's Eve. It's a bold plot for a bold cast. There's Frank with his "I own the world" charisma. There's Sammy Davis Jr. with his usual flair for the song and dance routine. "Deano" Dean Martin also croons in the picture, and Peter Lawford, the only non-singer of the four main Rat Packers, still holds the audience with his charm and wit.This film shows what Las Vegas was like...

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Funny, bittersweet and deeply moving, By William Butler (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews This review is from: Justice (DVD) This movie is a small miracle, an exploration of grief, guilt, and redemption that's also...a comic book movie! Well, not exactly, but the main character (the brilliant Erik Palladino) is a comic book writer, so much of this movie takes place in that world. There's also Michael Jai White, acting with soul and depth that I couldn't have imagined after "Spawn", and numerous other wonderful actors. The plot is a little complicated, but the way the three stories eventually come together is shattering. Don't miss this one. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Bravo!, By KATY "KATE" (TEXAS) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Justice (DVD) Wow. I was a little apprehensive about renting this movie, but decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did. The acting is great, Erik Palladino is at his best. The story is well told and touching. The ending in a word, UNFORGETTABLE. This is one of those rare movies that stays with you long after it's over. |
