The Universe

The universe is one great kindergarten for man.
Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.
The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change.
Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers,
stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes every form of animate or
inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.

Ocean's Thirteen

The other day, hubby and I finally got the chance to go on a movie date. I've wanted to see Ocean's 13 since I've heard it filming. Aside from the fact that we've seen Ocean's 11 and 12 both on the big screen and on TV, I wanted to watch these handsome men on screen again. George Clooney and Brad Pitt were a delight to see and watch. They were true to their characters. I really liked this film better than the 2nd one. This one came close to really being as good as the 1st one. Ofcourse, Ocean's 11 was still the best for me.

The last time we saw Danny Ocean's crew, they were paying back ruthless casino mogul Terry Benedict after stealing millions from him. However, it's been a while since they've come back together, which is all about to change. When one of their own, Reuben Tishkoff builds a hotel with known casino owner Willy Banks, the last thing he ever wanted was to get cut out of the deal personally by the loathsome Banks. Banks' attitude even goes so far as to finding the amusement in Tishkoff's misfortune when the double crossing lands Reuben in the hospital because of a heart attack. However, Danny and his crew won't stand for Banks and what he's done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Banks, the crew is out to pull off a major plan. One that will unfold on the night Banks' newest hot spot opens up, when the crew is out to bankrupt one of the city's most despised businessmen. But they're not in this for the money, but for the revenge

The above is a quote from a imdb movie database
