The Plot – What Is Ocean’s Eleven About? Would Casino Players Enjoy It?
Ocean’s Eleven begins with Danny Ocean being released from prison. After a major theft, Danny had to serve several years and is now on parole. But he has nothing to do with probation and immediately plans the next big robbery. The destination is the Bellagio, one of the most famous casino hotels in the world. The planned robbery is made attractive by the fact that the casino owner Terry-Benedigt is also bunkering the earnings of two other famous casinos in the Bellagio’s vault. If all goes well, Danny’s plan can loot the proceeds from the Bellagio,...

Pairing wine with movies! See the trailers and hear the fascinating commentary for these movies and many more at Trailers From Hell. We’re still cooped up at home, and now we’re missing Carl Reiner, too.
Comedy icon Carl Reiner passed away on June 29th at the age of 98 years. He pulled televised comedy through the ‘50s and ‘60s before jumping onto the big screen as an actor, writer and director. It was fitting that a guy who gave octogenarian George Burns his role of a lifetime in Oh, God, had the favor returned by Steven Soderbergh in Ocean’s Eleven when he was 79. Reiner played the hell out of the role of Saul Bloom in the trilogy.
A newspaper writer friend of mine told me about meeting Carl Reiner in the ‘70s at a big event at The Summit in Houston. My friend was in the restroom when Reiner walked in.

Comedy legend and TV pioneer Carl Reiner died at 98, according to Variety. His assistant, Judy Nagy, said he was with his family when he died of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills on Monday night.
Reiner was one of the true greats. He helped shape comedy on television from the early golden era. Filmed comedy would not be the same without him. Even standup comedy owes him a great debt. There are sandwiches named after him in kosher delis around the world. Reiner was always beloved, and forever acting. He was instantly popular from the moment he appeared on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows in 1950. He and Mel Brooks brought a party gag to national prominence they created the “2,000 Year Old Man” routine. He was veteran conman Saul Bloom in Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven movie franchise, played Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer’s stepfather on Two and a Half Men.

Carl Reiner didn’t mean to create The Dick Van Dyke Show — or, rather, he didn’t mean to create a show for Dick Van Dyke. When he sat down to write what was then called Head of the Family, Reiner was basing its hero, Rob Petrie, on his own experiences as a suburban dad and writer for Sid Caesar’s sketch-comedy shows. So who better to play Rob than himself? Reiner starred in the pilot episode, with Barbara Britton as Rob’s wife, Laura, and Morty Gunty and Sally Rogers...

Multitalented creator Carl Reiner has died at the age of 98. The news was confirmed by Reiner’s assistant, who told Variety that the actor, comedian, and director died of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills on Monday, June 29.

As the 21st-century dawned, it had looked as if comedy legend Carl Reiner’s final moment in the spotlight might be his small bittersweet role in Steven Soderbergh’s heist caper remake Ocean’s Eleven in 2001. He played Saul Bloom, the elderly conman and droll mentor to the two dudes in charge: Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), a role he reprised in two sequels. When Rusty initially tries to engineer a surprise meeting with Saul at the racetrack for recruitment purposes, it is Saul who catches Rusty unawares, tolerant but unimpressed. “I saw you at the paddock before the second race, outside the men’s room when I placed my bet.
