Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

Inexplicably, the Ocean’s franchise didn’t sink into oblivion after the sewage that was Ocean’s Twelve. This third chapter in the series fares much better than its predecessor but never reaches the level of the original (neither the original original or the 2001 remake). Still, as another installment, it does offer the remaining fans more of what they want to see, which is something.

After Reuben (Elliott Gould) loses his investment in a new hotel-casino to his business partner, Willy Bank (Al Pacino), he suffers a heart attack and becomes bedridden. Danny (George Clooney) and the rest of the Ocean Club decide to get even by ruining Bank and his new establishment.

If you’re not endeared to the Ocean’s crew, this plot will be an uphill battle. "Boo hoo. Poor Reuben is so upset he’s not making millions off this gaudy casino that he’s become catatonic. Guess it’s up to his buddies to get revenge on his behalf instead of just convincing the proper authorities that he was strongarmed into signing a contract?" Towards the end of the film, the crew’s old nemesis, Terry Benedict (Andy García, whose character is brought back under dubious pretenses), sees millions of his money donated to charity without his consent. I wonder if any of the cash the protagonists end up swiping from Banks would’ve gone anywhere except their pockets had they not had a score to settle. While some of this is mitigated by the fact that Willy Bank is a jerk, what we're seeing feels like a whole lot of “the 1%’s problems”. There isn’t a love plot to make us believe this is about anything but money unless you count the brotherly love between the Ocean’s crew. Even that seems like a stretch.

In the first movie and even in the second in a “sure, whatever”, kind of way, it made sense for these 11 people (we’ll get to that number in a moment) to join forces. Now? It seems overly optimistic to think the random Chinese acrobat who doesn’t speak English would put himself at risk as he does here. Now to be fair, this story makes much better use of its characters than Twelve did. No one gets stuffed into a bag and shipped off to nowhere halfway through, for example. Everyone has a role to play and it works though it should be noted that neither Julia Roberts nor Catherine Zeta-Jones return.

You’re wondering who the two new members of the crew are. One is the aforementioned Benedict, who plays the role of a benefactor. The other is… Eddie Izzard as Roman Nagel. I think. The motif of adding a new expert to the crew with each sequel has basically disappeared, and for good reason. This series can barely handle the people it has on its roster. Adding more is becoming increasingly problematic but it’s also necessary. See, “The Bank” has insane security measures, the kind no one in their right might would even try to circumvent. On the one hand, this makes for exciting scenes that make you wonder how the lock will get cracked. On the other, it makes the plot feel manufactured. For example, there's this super secure room that contains expensive jewelry. The plan to get in? Have Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon) and his phoney-looking rubber nose seduce Bank’s right-hand woman, Abigail Sponder (Ellen Barkin). With the help of some magic pheromones, she’ll get so hot and bothered she’ll have no choice but to bring Linus into the only room in the whooooole building that's guaranteed to be deserted. Apparently, there are cameras in the bathrooms, the closets and her private office. It’s a horrible subplot made unintentionally comical by the fact that nothing happens between her and Linus. The movie teases nudity for at least 15 minutes. Ellen Barkin's chest is ALMOST falling out of her dress for so long it’s ridiculous. I thought she was slobbering at the mouth for some man meat but she’s not even taking off her clothes? What’s going on here?!

I’ve been mostly bad-mouthing Ocean's Thirteen because the film is constantly on the brink of crumbling under its own weight. I will still call it a “good” sequel because fans of this series will be happy with it. You hate the bad guy, there are enough laughs to keep you smiling consistently and the con is so complicated it’s fun to see all the pieces coming together. All of the actors are obviously having a great time. I’m in no hurry to watch it again but if you love love love the first, you didn’t mind the second and you want to know if you should watch the third, then I say “sure”. I say this despite feeling like twice was too many for me. (April 29, 2022)

Terrifier 2 (2022, dir. Damien Leone) - review by Rookie-Critic

Ok. Terrifier 2. Now we're cooking with gas. With this installment of the cult-horror franchise, started by the atrocious All Hallows' Eve in 2013, Leone has finally hit his stride. This film takes everything that was so bad about the first two films in the franchise and improves it to a point that, dare I say, we actually have a good 80's-inspired B-movie slasher on our hands. Art the Clown finally gets to exist in a film where he's not being dragged down by everything around him. You can enjoy the gory splatterfest kills and practical effects (which are all still incredibly well done for the increased-but-still-modest budget the film was made on) without having to bemoan literally everything else. The acting is finally good, or, at the very least, good enough to emulate the B-movie feel this franchise is built on, and the main character is actually interesting. Lauren LaVera has great screen presence and, in the scenes she shares with Art, does not get lost in David Howard Thornton's performance. They genuinely share the screen in a way that no other character in this franchise has managed to accomplish so far. Also, Art is hilarious in this one (when he's not utterly terrifying, of course). There are multiple sequences and gags in this film that got me to audibly gut laugh. One particular scene early on in the film's massive runtime involving Art trying on sunglasses in a costume store comes to mind as the one that busted the dam open for me.

This movie is a staggering 2 hours and 28 minutes, an insane runtime for a slasher film, and I was never bored. I saw this on a Monday night at 9:30 running on about 3 hours of sleep and never once felt like I was about to pass out. All of this to say that, for a franchise that I actively disliked, and walked into the theater the night I saw it ready to rip it to shreds, it is a massive improvement and a good film. Of course, it isn't perfect. There are a couple of small instances of the hallmark misogyny that plagued the previous two installments in this one, which is disappointing, but the presence is greatly reduced down to almost nothing. Also, while most of the acting was good and the writing is way better in this one, there were a few characters that could have been better and a few moments in the script that came off as cringey. It was a little distracting when everything else was going so well and then there would be a bad line read or an over exaggerated response to something and it would take me out of it. Lastly, and this one I don't particularly mind as much, is this film leaves a ton open. Obviously Leone wants there to be a Terrifier 3, but Terrifier 2 definitely cannot stand on its own two legs from a plot standpoint, and with a franchise as inconsistent as this one, I worry that openness will make it a hard barrier for entry that people will have to suffer through at least one godawful film before getting to see this one. However, whenever Leone eventually does make a Terrifier 3, I will be in the audience, hoping for even further improvement.

Score: 7/10
