Why do you think I saved my 2010's pick for last? My pick ain't going anywhere.

It's a really good movie. I'd recommend it.
So I've heard
Do you have an opinion on Soderbergh in general?
I generally like his movies.
Then I think you'll really dig Out of Sight. I think it's top tier Soderbergh.
He’s got some good ones. Ocean’s Eleven, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, but also som real duds. Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen, Magic Mike, The Informant!, Solaris, The Good German. Think Out Of Sight is somewhere in the middle with Sex, Lies and Videotape, Logan Lucky and Contagion. Not seen Side Effects or The Laundromat.

There’s one of the teams that looks really good so far. Will be interesting to see the final version.

Apart from the questionable Kill Bill, bada’s team is really strong
I think half his team is five star material.

I was a bit surprised. I’ve seen more movies than most people, and I’ve never seen it, nor had I thought about it. Put it on my watchlist earlier today.
Accorrding to imdb, I’ve seen 318 movies from the 1960s.

I prefer bracket style tournaments, where the art is in focus, instead of the competition between posters. I do love movies.
