The Reel Deal
Here's three(3) more for the catalog:
The Sopranos(series finale, on HBO)
Tied, with Seinfeld, for the Worst Series Finale Ever Award! Okay, so they whacked Phil Leotardo. So what? Like I had been telling my friends all along - there WILL be a Sopranos movie - whether it be on HBO, or an HBO Film released on the Silver Screen. To have it 'end' with a blackout - and no closure to the fate of the Soprano family!
My suggested ending would have been better - to have Tony, Carmela, Meadow and AJ end up in the same prison cell with Jerry, Elaine, Cosmo and George. Jerry, with a wink, says to Tony, "Yada, yada, yada!" Tony, ogling Elaine, replies, "Bada bing!" Elaine and Carmela look at each other and exclaim, "Fuggedaboudit!"

Ocean's 13 - starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, Ellen Barkin, Matt Damon and a host of others!
Very funny! Another revenge caper, with twists, turns, glitches and resolutions. The only thing missing was the previous love capers with Julia Roberts(Tess) and Catherine Zeta-Jones(Isabelle). They were 'explained' away by a Danny(Clooney) Ocean's cellphone conversation, and him telling Rusty(Pitt) Ryan that this was 'not their fight!' Too bad - our loss! All in all, some great entertainment - definitely worth the ticket - but go at low tide, so that the Ocean doesn't soak your wallet!

Borat(rated 'R' - on DVD) - starring Sasha Baron Cohen
I don't get it! I mean it - I just do NOT get it! A waste of my time and money. Must be looking for a different demographic - like radical Muslims, maybe! Yeah, there were a couple of funny moments, such as showing how New Yorkers would react to having a weird stranger attempt to kiss or touch them, but overall - I just don't get it!
B - Buy
O - Over-priced
R - Ridiculous
A - American
T - Ticket
Oh, NOW I get it!
