Five years, eight months, 12 days and counting -- that's how long Debbie Ocean has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it's going to take -- a team of the best people in the field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists, in cluding jeweler Amita, street con Constance, suburban mom Tammy, hacker Nine Ball, and fashion designer Rose. Their target -- a necklace that's worth more than $150 million.-WWW Initial release :  5 June 2018 ( USA ) Director :  Gary Ross Film series :  Ocean's Budget :  70 million USD Producers :  George Clooney ,  Steven Soderbergh ,  Susan Ekins Written by( imdb ): Gary Ross ...

Director's Club Cinema 1, SM City, BF P'que. Short and simple:  This is the best adaptation so far(I love EVER AFTER too.  I am trying to look for the piece I wrote about it.  I hope to find it soon).  The on-screen chemistry of all the actors, most especially that of Lily James and Richard Madden, is very evident.  It's nice to relearn an old story and feel light in the end. Lily James reminds me of a very young Jessica Lange and a little bit of Grace Kelly.  Richard Madden's appeal is like "the boy next door".  Cate Blanchett is perfect for her role.  Ben Chaplin is debonair like as Ella's dad and Stellan Skarsgård  makes the Grand Duke seem vile. "Have courage and be kind!"  - Cindrella's Mother Kudos to the whole cast, crew and Disney!  Trivia:   Lily James was set to be one of the wicked step-sisters, Anastasia.

This is short and simple. I felt sad and disappointed while watching this dark version...grossed out on the ingredients the White Queen (Anne Hathaway) used...but I love Johnny Depp, the Cheshire Cat and the other special effects...I also like the philosophical message...Like some of my group mates said,"... it's good, not great!"  My friend, K, who watched it in 3D liked it much, much better than I did.   Alice in Wonderland 2010 Film Alice in Wonderland is a 2010 American computer-animated and live action fantasy film directed by Tim Burton, written by Linda Woolverton, and released by Walt Disney Pictures.  Wikipedia Initial release :  March 5, 2010 ( USA ) Director :  Tim Burton Screenplay :  Linda Woolverton Characters :  The Hatter ,  Alice ,  Cheshire Cat ,  White Rabbit ,  More Adapted from :  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ,  Through the Looking-Glass ...
