GirlAchromatism's rating
At first I saw that this film was rated a 10, which I never see on here. Then I noticed that it only had 19 votes and there were no comments yet. This made me leery but I decided to check it out for myself.
First I must say that I am a big Sci-Fi fan, and I do enjoy some good Indie films, even if they are low budget. This film started off looking like it was going to be interesting. I definitely think they came up with a good movie idea. But about five minutes into it I totally lost interest.
After about 5 minutes of narration setting up the plot, it jumps into a lot of action. The problem is that most of the characters are about the same height and weight and all wearing similar, if not identical, outfits. This combined with the complete lack of character development made it nearly impossible to tell what was going on. I had no idea who were the good guys and who were the bad guys.
After the action died down a little I thought maybe the film would redeem itself, maybe let us get to know some characters a little bit. But this film was sheer disappointment. Out of about 100 minutes of film there was probably only 15 minutes of dialogue the rest was all kicking and punching.
Anyone who rated this film a 10 either:
a) Just wanted to see a bunch of kicking and punching.
b) Worked on the production of this film.
c) Thinks 10 is the lowest rating...

Oceans 11 was an excellent film. It couldn't miss. It was a remake of the 1960's film starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., with a modern all star cast.
Oceans 12 fell short of the hype for me. This is mostly due to the fact that the film wasn't set in Las Vegas, which in my opinion is the heart of the first film.
Oceans 13 however redeems the trilogy in a superb way. The group of criminals with a heart of gold are back in Vegas and as charming as ever. If you didn't see the first two, no worries, as the this films plot unfolds independently of the first two. But if you did see the first two there will be some clever treats for you to recognize along the way. If you like clever, witty old-style gangster films then you will LOVE Oceans 13. Just be sure to pay attention cause if you blink, you just may miss something!

Sicko is an editorialized documentary-style film about the shortcomings of the American health care system and how it compares and contrasts to countries with universal health care.
I say "editorialized" because this is not a just-the-facts news report, but rather in true Micheal Moore style it uses real life facts to support the film makers opinion.
It was a great shock to me to see the people who are portrayed as American Heroes on a daily basis in U.S. media being neglected in our own country despite the millions of dollars in aid that have been donated just to assist them. It was even more of a shock to see Cuba, a country that has been vilified by U.S. propaganda over the last half century, not only able, but willing to provide care free of charge to these people that ended up saving their lives.
Even if you don't care for documentaries this film is still very entertaining. Micheal Moores wit and sarcasm elevate this from a typical documentary film to popular cinematic entertainment.
I highly recommend this film to anyone.
