Isolation Thought

I saw "Ocean's Twelve" today. Not looking to win any Oscars, they did a good job of poking fun at themselves. And Eddie Izzard and Bruce Willis popped in for cameos, so it couldn't be bad. Presposterous plot, but you're supposed to enjoy yourself at the movies and you will. I saw it at the DLP theatre at Cinemark. Not that I'm anal or anything, but the perfect seat there is 4th row, middle, in case you were wondering. But at the DLP there are no word games or Coke trivia or dopey intros, it's right to the previews and they had tons.

Here are the previews I saw (with some estimates on dates):

"Meet The Fockers": Of course, this looks really funny. (December 22)

Keanu is back in "Constantine": Looks OK, slow-motion glass breaking a la "The Matrix". Based on a comic. Comic book, not comedian. (February 18)

"The Pacifier" with Vin Diesel. The preview to this Disney movie made me laugh. A lot. (March 4)

"The Ring Two" looked really cool. (March 18)

"Batman Begins" revealed nothing, except it was dark. But Christian Bale is Batman, so I'm thinking it'll be good.(June 17)

"Mr and Mrs. Smith" with Jolie and Pitt. Married assassins' next target...each other. (June 10)

"Be Cool". Travolta as Chili Palmer. Cast on paper-->Outstanding. Uma, The Rock, Cedric, Keitel, Vince Vaughan. (March 4)

"Wedding Crashers". Self explanatory comedy with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughan. (Vaughan is also in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. He's like Action News.) (July 22)

"Beyond The Sea". The Bobby Darin biopic with Kevin Spacey looked decent. (December 31)

"Coach Carter". Samuel L. as a high-school basketball coach who is all about the learnin'. (January 14--January, the evil dumping ground of cinema)

"Assault on Precinct 13". Ethan Hawke and Lawrence Fishburne, who looks really mean. (January 21--January release date, ruh-roh)

"Hitch" with Will Smith (as a dating expert) and Kevin James. This looks hilarious. (February 11)

Then the movie started.

Meal of Links

I'm sensing Bernard Kerik realized he had more ethical issues besides an illegal alien nanny. The background check was barely underway before he withdrew.

Ah...Christmas in Paris. I see Red Wings.
