We endured "Ocean's 12" the other night. Very disappointing.

Brother, ain't that about the truth. We rented it the other night also and didn't take us very long before we knew we had a complete fuddle dud on our hands! I was very disappointed.

i totally agree on the 'oceans 12'.. maybe i was expecting to much cause the 'oceans 11' was soo good. or maybe we just expected too much cause there were soo many really good actors in the film. but, the bottomline came down to a script that was soo polluted and non-believeable, that the actors just seemed to be going thru their lines, just so they could get it over with. once you realized the punchline(which i did about an hour in), then you realize the entire movie itself is shadows and smoke screens.

very bad.... very, very bad...

Ditto!!

After been so disappointed by Ocean's12 I was afraid to rent Meet the Fockers but it was quite good, though not as good as the first one.

Yeah! Very disappointed in Ocean's 12. Lousy plot, bad script, and if the director used any more of the hand held camera spinning shots, I'd a blown lunch.

I was disappointed in Meet the Fockers (just my opinion). Though I was fully aware of what I was gonna get, I'm a little tired of gross out humor. However, watching those superb actors have such a good time with each other was well worth the cost of the rental. Not a good movie, but fine performances. I'd love to see Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro together in a really good movie, be it comedy, drama, action, or suspense.

Whelp, that settles it. "Ocean's 12" is now removed from my NetFlix queue. Thanks!

my wife is a HUGE kevin smith fan.. we have just about everything he has ever made.. including signed copies of 'clerks', 'chasing amy', and 'dogma'.

If that's the case, I sure hope she's seen this.

It's even more entertaining than any of his actual films. Seriously.

You're welcome, Peter. Now, in exchange, can you give me some of that time I'll never get back? I'm telling you, whoever took credit for "writing" that turd had a lot of balls. I can tolerate implausible; it's the "boring" that disgusted me. To make a movie with both George Clooney and Brad Pitt and have my wife be thoroughly disinterested is quite a feat.

Yeah Oceans 12 was a big stinker. It has been a long time since I fell asleep during a movie............but I nodded at least 3 times during that one. At one point when I was actually awake, I was fast forwarding through parts.

Next night I watched Spanglish which I hate to admit, I didn't mind it at all. Wasn't great but it wasn't bad either.

This is some kind of record. We agree again. I was pleasantly surprised by Spanglish. Of course, I wasn't expecting much, so I got more than I expected. I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, but he made me like his character. It was worth the price of the rental.

spiff- she does not have that DVD. as a matter of fact, it was on her christmas list this year, and i didnt get it. there is also a book he wrote that sort of chronicles his writing and move making process that he goes through. she wants that to. she has a b-day coming up in june, so i had planned on getting that DVD for her then.

thanks for the link though.. would have been a great find if i wasnt aware of it. its always nice to surprise her!!
