Ocean's 13 - Wit, entertainment, and just a little bit of trickery. Basically, what Ocean's 12 should have been but wasn't. I wish there had been a bigger twist like in Ocean's 11, but I know that's hard to replicate, especially if the audience expects it.
If you haven't seen Ocean's 12, do yourself a favor and just skip right to 13. Idiocracy - From the director of Office Space comes a story about a future that has declined into stupidity. Except for the central concept (which I could actually see happening) it's not as clever as Office Space, but I found the low-brow humor mostly amusing.
Definitely a low budget flick, so don't expect much from the special effects department, but you can expect a few good laughs. The Machinist - I had a really hard time seeing past Christian Bale's emaciated appearance for about the first 30 minutes of this movie, but it serves as a good visual clue to just how messed up his character's life has become. As a psychological thriller there isn't a whole lot of action, but a sort of Hitchcock-like suspense builds throughout the movie.
Despite seeing the major plot twist coming a mile away, I still enjoyed the ending.
