Review...
Last I went to see Ocean's Twelve- and it did satisfy my taste for heist movies. The movie picks properly, and the plot is just as twisting as the first film. That said, the movie does have a few big flaws, mainly that it is heavily dependent on the first film, since the movie makes untold references to Ocean's Eleven. By untold, I mean literally the first half of the entire movie. Other than that, I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars, as part of a series, not as a stand-alone. Fun movie. However, if you choose to see it, make sure you see Ocean's Eleven on DVD at least within a day or so before seeing Ocean's Twelve. That should make it more effective to view.

Editorial...
On a unrelated note, I did see a article in the Oregonian today on gay marriage (I however, did not read it so, I will not qoute or misread it to you). This comes back to the same old problem with the issue, since most on the west side of Oregon (the state I live in when I'm not in a state of elation) seems to distort and not really get the opposition view (Or they're just blind I don't honestly know). The real issue behind gay marriage is activist judges. The ban on gay marriage is in response to that. When hear of people bringing the measure to court, I become disgusted. The measure was an act against courts and activist judges. Those same activist judges perform actions that always are akin to legislature. Such things are wrong and even more so, corrupting the justice sytem. The founding fathers never intended for the judicial system to become a second law making body. That power alone is in congress and state legislatures. I'm not against the concept of gay marriage, but I'm against the means by which it is being achieved. If a judge in Massachusetts can redefine the laws on marriage country-wide, something seriously has gone wrong.
