A group of old friends has been playing, one month out of the year, the same game of cross-country ‘tag’ for 30 years. Sounds like a funny premise for a movie right?

Sandra Bullock plays Debbie Ocean, the sister to Clooney’s Danny (from Oceans 11, 12, and 13) and she’s got her own crew of capable and funny women ready to pull a jewel heist on an unsuspecting Anne Hathaway.

Jodie Foster is ‘the nurse’ who runs a super-secret (despite its gigantic neon sign) hotel/hospital for criminals who have been injured.

Toni Collette plays a mother who is dealing with the loss of her own mom and isn’t dealing with it in top form. It doesn’t help that strange things seem to be happening to her two children…and then everything goes bugfuck. You know, the less said in advance about this film the better. I know you’ve heard the overwhelmingly positive Continue Reading...
