This one comes late but here you go...

That guy from Across the Universe  stars an an intelegent young man trying to get into Harvard University.  Unfortunatley he needs to come up with 300,000 and it doesn’t look like he’s qualifying for any scholarships anytime soon. So he shows he’s the smartest kid in his class and the teacher played by Kevin Spacey gives him an oppertunity to join an elite underground group.  This group goes to Vegas on Weekends counting cards and making a lot of money.  Reluctant at first, he finally gives in and goes to Vegas for a wild ride.  The movie moves well with the group dominating the tables.  Only problem with the movie is it seems like they always hit up the same casino. Morpheus (matrix style) the pit boss finally catches on and begins to figure things out.  Another thing that is super retarded is all of his winnings he takes back to his dorm and puts in the vents.  He has like 100 grand in cash just chillin up in the ceiling.  I found this to be extremely stupid when he could have just opened a bank account.  It ends up biting him in the ass anyway though, I won’t tell you how as to not spoil the entire movie. 
21 kept me interested the entire time and is worth a watch if you have nothing better to do.  They do try to tie everything together at the end in like a 5 minute span that became somewhat confusing.  Still good though.

Oh yeah, and there’s this one scene that just made me want Dennis Hopper instead of Kevin Spacey when he’s drunk with a glass of burbon yelling at the kids.  Flashbacks of Blue Velvet.  Heh.
