...thus, the United States recognizes 63 races based on self-identification, arising from six individual categories and the 57 possible combinations thereof. We could apply this logic to different ethnicities—but somehow it seems preposterous to think that creating a different ethnicity for every single combination of eleven Asian groups (that’s 2,047 possible “ethnicities”) will mean a damn thing...
Were you serious when you dissed the quality of the Ocean's Thirteen script? -Rina Echavez, Los AngelesWith the exception of The Godfather: Part II, first films like Ocean's Eleven are generally the best, and the sequels usually deteriorate until you end up with Jaws 5 or whatever. Twelve sort of fell apart, and we didn't want to go out like that. We wanted another crack at it. Thirteen was a lot better...
...expenditures by Beijing will hit $38 billion, some four times as much as was spent preparing Athens for the 2004 Games. As you might expect in an authoritarian state, it is all but certain that the venues and facilities being built for the Olympics will be ready in time.

What can you expect of the third in a series of remakes of a not-so-hot 1960 caper (the Rat Pack's Ocean's Eleven)? No matter how slim your hopes, they will probably be deflated by this tired smarmathon. Despite all the star quality--George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, guest villain Al Pacino--director Steven Soderbergh can infuse no energy into the Vegas caper plot. He can't even make these photogenic celebs look fabulous. For them and the audience, this Thirteen is bad luck...
