I was bored. It was on HBO. There was nothing else to watch.

Wasn't as bad as I remember it being. I won't be rushing to see the sequels anytime soon, though. laugh

It has the best cinematography and soundtrack of the three, and I'd say it has enough decent moments to elevate it above "shit," but yeah, it's the weakest overall.

There's little to distinguish its cinematography between that and your standard MTV bling bling music video. All flash, no substance, with a muzak score.

I remember seeing it the day it came out in the cinema, which if I recall correctly was the last day of year 8 - the moment of Julia Roberts playing someone impersonating Julia Roberts just convinced everyone to start throwing ice and popcorn.

Dude. These are meant to be lightweight entertainments. Of course they're going to be all flash and no substance. And "muzak" isn't a bad word in my book.

No, really. They should have tilted the third, 'MY SWEET OCEAN 16.'

Yes, but it's not a particularly kind of artful flash either, than even Guy Ritchie can do. It sounds like Soderbergh shot himself in the foot from the start.

It's just consumerist, unthinking, Hollywood-glorifying trash. Directed by Steven Soderbergh's subconscious, unconsciously.

Elevator music then. Shopping channel music.

Bah, you're just an old crank, Sharkie. These are movies in love with a certain kind of tone. A tongue-in-cheek bit of retro-cool, nostalgic for some of the breezy, glamorous films of the 1960s and for the age when Hollywood stars were really stars. In that respect, I think the OCEAN'S series does all right. They're nothing particularly remarkable or smart, but they have a nice relaxed sense of fun about 'em, even if they do occasionally feel as if they were made more for the cast and crew to have a good time than anything else. I've never seen anything from Ritchie that, stylistically, at least, is anywhere near as appealing.

And David Holmes' score and selection of cues for these flicks is great. Especially the soundtrack for OCEAN'S TWELVE, which collects a great number of obscure tracks, including the marvelous "Crepuscolo Sul Mare" by Piero Umiliani and "L'Appuntamento" by Ornella Vanoni, and has a few top-of-his-game Holmes tracks, too, like "7/29/04 The Day Of." Just a giant bucket of fun. But then I'm an absolute sucker for campy lounge music. Wish they'd get David Holmes to do a Bond flick.

But I'm afraid Clooney, Damon, Pitt and their like don't come any close. They're smug, factory-produced, hypocritical, preening, elitist, tossers with an Anti-American agenda. Cardboard cutouts versus their 50s counterparts.

The Real Ratpack were true entertainers, with life experience from the war, from a completely different age and approach to stardom, and what it means to be an celebrity. An age of a certain sincerity and showmanship, which was both a blessing a curse in the end.

Soderbergh and his gang have lived in a bubble, in comparison.

ROCK N ROLLA is his best, by a fair degree, due to its humanity. They might not be as appealing in that they're not as carefree. throwaway or safe as the OCEAN films, but they've got a damnable 'F you' panache, despite often being morally suspect. They're definitely not relaxed or complacent, but there's a fun to them. The OCEAN films took downright pedestrian in contrast.

I'd rather eat my own head.

Seriously, no. Barry at his best gave the films an honesty, a depth - arguably more so than they really deserved. A poetry even, even at their most flat-out ridiculous (i.e. MOONRAKER, A VIEW TO A KILL and YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE). He was a master of both jazz and late romantic orchestration and harmony, and could blend both kitsch with poignancy, which is probably why DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER's score works so well.

I've never heard that kind of depth in Holmes's score, as fun and lightweight as they may be.

Sure, Barry did lounge. But his lounge cues transgressed the genre, and gave those scenes an integrity.

Though I wouldn't mind a David Holmes elevator/MIDI remix of You Know My Name as Bond walks in a hotel lift, and starts whistling along with it it.

I'll go them a listen on their. I admit I've only heard them in the course of the films, never on their own. I only really remember electric pianos, Hammond organs and Chemical Brothers-style beats.

Sure. Holmes would be more George Martin than John Barry (though I do understand that Holmes had a corker of a score produced for THE GOOD GERMAN that was unlike his previous stuff, but Soderbergh tossed it out because it wasn't quite period appropriate in the way Soderbergh wanted it to be). But I'd like that for a film or two.

I need to check out those OCEAN flick, especially after hearing about the music. I too love campy lounge stuff.

The original flick is on Instant and I'll check that out first. I hear it's not that great. It'll probably be more interesting to wonder what was happening off the set than on.

But it does have Angie Dickinson.

Picked up a British flick called Forbidden, from the late 1940s, on the blind. Blurb sounded good and I had the cash kicking about, so thought 'why not?'. We'll see how it goes.

Ok, I'll go along with you strictly on those terms.

I was listening the OCEAN soundtracks a few days ago, and the Holmes's work on 11 stood out for me the most, surprisingly. I'm really digging in it, in fact. Very smart fusion of beats and lounge.

Can't stand Newman's GOOD GERMAN score to be honest. Yes it's technically proficient in its knowledge of Herrmann, Waxman in particular, but tonally it's hilariously maudlin and one-note.

I like the "Clair de Lune" remix (is the cue called "Tess"? I think it is...). And the one really nice thing about the OCEAN'S THIRTEEN's soundtrack (probably the least impressive of the three) is its use of the awesome Isao Tomita version of "Clair de Lune." Shame that it gets so little play in the film itself.

Yeah. Allegedly, Holmes' GOOD GERMAN score had a 70s feel. It's never leaked, to the best of my knowledge.
