The Thing With The Guy In The Place

From Ocean's Eleven.  One of the rare remakes that is far superior to the original (with Sinatra and Dean Martin) which I saw with my parents at a theater in Lake George, NY during its first release and again several months ago on cable.

The remake has a better cast and dialogue ("Ted Nugent called, he wants his shirt back").  Actually, the pauses in the dialogue are as good as the dialogue and the whole thing was more fun from start to finish.  But be warned, Ocean's Twelve was just okay and Ocean's Thirteen was miserable.

Here's Elliot Gould (demonstrating that overacting has its place at the right time), George Clooney and Brad Pitt.   The film also featured one of my favorite actors and comedians, Bernie Mac (miss him).

And I've never been to Belize either.
