Ocean's Eleven

Advantages: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Las Vegas
Disadvantages: None

...Ocean's Eleven Brad Pitt, George Clooney and a whole host of other good looking guys planning the crime heist of the century, what more could you want from a movie! Ocean's Eleven is actually a 2001 remake of the 1960 Rat Pack caper film of the same name. I've never seen the original but I would like to so I can compare the two. What's the ocean got to do with it? Is it set by the beach? No, Danny Ocean is the name of the game leader who collects together all his friends to rob three casinos in Las Vegas. And why eleven, why there are eleven people who carry out the crime. Danny has the perfect friends in order to carry out this job, one is a fixer, another a blackjack dealer, another a pickpocket, all worthy occupations to help you scam casinos out of $150 million!! Danny is played brilliantly by the gorgeous George Clooney. He is so...

Review of Ocean's Eleven (DVD)

The original Oceans 11!

Advantages: A simple film with lots of surprises
Disadvantages: None

...,000. What follows is an elaborate plan with the help of many friends. However, the police and FBI are on their tail. Will the Sting work? Or will the city's most dangerous mobster catch the boys and have the same fate as Luther? This is a classic film and in my opinion is the original Oceans 11 of it's time (1973) The costumes and sets are great (although there are a few mistakes with the props not being right for the decade) The acting and story are fantastic. The music (mostly piano) goes really well with film. Robert Redford looks in some scenes like Frank Spencer in his suit and beret! He even smiles like him! I wish that films nowadays were like this, simple but effective with lots of twists and turns. I loved it!...

A Perfect Example Of Style Overpowering Substance

Advantages: Entertaining second half
Disadvantages: Lacklustre first half, predictable

Bring the ocean to your bath

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: Can go smelly

...Make your bath or paddling pool into an ocean full of little animals by emptying this bag of ocean bath squirter?s into it. We have some of these which we use in the swimming pool my school. Yes children it is great fun to squirt the swimming teacher. There are 5 animal?s in this bag a starfish, an octopus, a crab, a seahorse and a clam shell.

Ocean's Twelve review

Advantages: Great cast
Disadvantages: Not as good as the first film

...Ocean's Twelve is the sequel to the 2001 smash hit Ocean's Eleven. It again stars George Clooney as Danny Ocean, who again has to bring his original team back together again when Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) finds them all and demands his money back. The team now have the job of returning all of Benedict's money or face going to jail. But they may have a way out, in the shape of premier thief Francois Toulour, who will pay the entire amount if they can prove they are the best thieves in the world. I love Ocean's Eleven, it's one of my favourite films, and I was disappointed when this failed to live up to my expectations. Perhaps I shouldn't have expected as much, sequels very rarely match the first films in terms of quality. I am glad they got the entire cast back together, using someone else wouldn't have worked as well, as...

Ocean's Eleven Review

Advantages: Funny, witty, entertaining, I could go on
Disadvantages: None

...Ocean's Eleven is a remake of the 1960 film of the same name starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) has just been released from prison, but already has his next heist planned, and it's a big one. He plans to rob three Las Vegas casinos, The Bellagio, the Mirage and the MGM Grand, all in one night. He assembles a crack team including a pickpocket, a pyrotechnician, a technical whiz and, of course, a Chinese acrobat. Will he be able to pull off the biggest heist in history? This film probably has one of the best casts of any movie ever, with a perfect balance of new talent (Casey Affleck, Scott Caan), established superstars(George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia) and old school legends (Elliott Gould, Carl Reiner). Everyone is on top of their game here, with fantastic chemistry...

Siam Ocean World

Advantages: Lots to see and do, original, good value for money
Disadvantages: None

...Myself and my boyfriend recently went to holiday in Bangkok Thailand and while we were there we visited the Siam Ocean World. Location The Siam Ocean World is located on the first and second floors of the Siam Paragon Shopping centre which is pretty much in the middle of the City of Bangkok. Siam Ocean World The entrance consists of the ticket booths where visitors can purchase their tickets. The tickets vary in price depending on what you want to see when you get in. WE decided we wanted to see the 4D Theatre, the Glass Bottom Boat and the Aquariums. For this ticket we paid £8 which we thought was reasonable. Just inside the entrance to Siam Ocean World, there is a gift shop called Shark Shop where you can purchase the normal merchandise of key rings, paperweights and mugs etc. Just to the left of the entrance, there is...

Review of Siam Ocean World, Bangkok

There's a Place Called Ocean Avenue

Advantages: Some strong tracks present on this thirteen track album.
Disadvantages: Some tracks fail to impress.

...'Ocean Avenue' is the 2004 album from the American Pop Punk band Yellowcard. Although fitting snugly into the genre of Pop Punk, the band actually incorporate a violin into their sound and this is something that makes them stand out a little from the crowd. When you listen to the music of Yellowcard it is not your standard Pop Punk affair and therefore their music is all the more interesting to listen to. The first track I ever heard from this album was 'Life of a Salesman', a track that initially put me off listening to 'Ocean Avenue' as I was not at all a fan of what I heard. With 'Life of a Salesman' there is just too much going on within the track at once and as a result it all seems a little congested as the band progress their way through this three minute piece of Pop Punk. The drums just don't seem to fit with the guitars...

Review of Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard

The ocean may be endless....

Advantages: Astonishingly brilliant graphics
Disadvantages: Seems to be no set goals

...My brother borrowed Endless Ocean off one of his friends and being the great big sister I offered to play on it with him for a bit the other night. Your character for the entire game is a diver and your task as far as I can tell is to complete as many dives as possible and complete small missions. The game begins with you getting the option to choose your character. Now I have to admit that the options here are limited and to be honest you only really get to choose whether your character is a man or a woman and what colour hair they have but I suppose it is better than nothing. Once the game begins you are walked through the movement of your diver both on the boat and in the water. The controls are very simple to master and the walkthrough makes this process even easier. Now the game starts and you are tasked to dive in...
