Ocean's Twelve, 2004


Director: Steven Soderbergh
Stars: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and many more!








The guys are back. This time it's an about art and in Europe. Fitting.

Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), owner of the three casino-hotels Ocean's eleven robbed three years ago, wants revenge. One by one, he finds them all, warning them they have two weeks to come up with his money- $160 million. Plus interest. How will they pull this one off?

Personally, I think it was a darn good sequel. It includes a cameo by Bruce Willis, a surprising ending, Eddie Izzard (my favorite comedian!!), and lots of fun throughout. I loved so many lines in the film! I just have to share some favorites.

Quotes:
"I totally phoned in that Dennis Quaid movie." (another Topher Grace cameo)

"Who would I talk to if you were all dead?"-Reuben

"I don't understand what happened! What did I say?"
"You called his niece a whore-"
"-a very cheap one."
"She's seven." --(Danny and Rusty, playing a joke on Linus)

"Great. So, we'll just eat room service, watch movies, and wait for Benedict to show up and kill us." --Danny

"Look- it's not in my nature to be mysterious, but I can't talk about it, and I can't talk about why." --Rusty

"Do I look 50 to you?" -Danny
"Yeah.....only from the neck up....."

(throwing around ideas for a job, speaking some kind of "thief" language)
"Hell in a hand basket?"
"No, we can't train a cat that quickly."


FACT: Despite the fact that they make fun of his age, George Clooney was only 43 when this film came out. He is 50 this year.

FACT: The whole scene with Rusty and Danny, watching Happy Days in French absolutely cracks me up! But that isn't my "fact". Danny makes a comment about Potsie, so I decided to look Potsie up just to see if there was some kind of significance there. I have no idea, but I did find out that Potsie's real name is Anson William Heimlick. Yes, THE Heimlick. He's related to Dr. Heimlick! Cool!
