Ocean’s Eleven is one of my favorite movies. A lighthearted heist movie with an unbelievable cast that was simply lots of unpretentious fun. And then they went on vacation to Europe to shoot the sequel and thing went haywire. 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve was a mess and I considered walking out of the cinema halfway through. And now there’s ‘Thirteen’. I didn’t know what to think, so I went to see it.

One less RINO strengthens a Party that desperately needs to rediscover its core principles.
Now, if only McCain would leave the GOP too…

Throwing rocks (Intifida style) at U.S. Border Patrol Agents is one of the many jobs Americans just won’t do.
And shooting at border agents while drug smuggling from Mexico is a big category of jobs Americans won’t do too.

Maybe you've seen this American Express ad featuring Martin Scorsese directing a most random group of celebrities (Shaun White and Alicia Keys?) in a fake spot about soliciting humanitarian ideas from card members. It's been running for weeks in heavy rotation, so it's a safe time to ask: huh? Until that preppie interrupts the shoot, it's undeniable that the ad is earnestly un-Scorsese. It's creepy, actually.

A friend, who thinks this ad is funny, pointed out that it's a mock-public service announcement, which might be the case. But that drab location looks like an unused set from a no-budget Aaliyah video, and the only person who doesn't look trapped in this wax museum is Ellen DeGeneres. She delivers the comic relief, which is funny simply because it cracks up Andre Agassi, and that seems spontaneous. But, seriously, what a weird commercial: why is Shaun White wearing that suit, and why is he straddling that poor ugly chair, and would Scorsese, who directed the whole commercial, really use such a plain wide shot?

But to quote my friend: "Dude, it's to change the world. What's wrong with you?"
