Movie Review: "21"

Every once in a while you see a movie that inspires you. For whatever reason, it just makes you want to go out and do something to change your life. For me, 21 was one of those movies. It made me want to make more money, it made me want to go to Vegas, it made me want to go out and learn everything there is to know about counting cards. This movie is about a small group of students at MIT that count cards and make a lot of money just doing it on the weekends. It is based on a true story, and it focuses mainly on one character. This particular student is a mathematical genius, bit does not have the money to get into the grad school of choice. By counting cards, he is able to make the money needed to attend the school. This is a drama in the fact that there are many twists and turns, and the main characters begin to have conflicts and all look for ways to screw each other. Over all it is one of the better movies that I have seen lately. If you know of a place where I can buy a "How To" guide for counting cards, please let me know.

Movie Review: "Dan in Real Life"

If you are looking for a romantic comedy to get your evening going, this might just be the movie for you. Although I was a little dissapointed, the movie was overall...Okay. I am a really big fan of Steve Carell. I have really enjoyed all of his movies and television shows, but this movie was just really not his style. As the movie progreses, you will learn that Dan (Steve Carell), is a widowed father of three. His wife passed away three years ago, and he is having a hard time tryig to raise the three girls ranging from about 7 years old to 16 years old. He is a well known columnist/author that is not only having trouble with his daughters, but with all women PERIOD. He takes his daughters on a vacation to spend the week with the family, and on his first day there he finally meets a woman. When he returns to the house, he is telling his brothers about the girl when his brother's new girlfriend walks in...Guess Who??? The movie twists and turns from there, but it is all very predictable as it goes on and eventuall ends. Like I said, it was not a bad movie, but I will always expect more from Steve Carell.
