~ Don't Gamble just read the cards ~

Advantages: Good plot, Great cast, Nice filming locations
Disadvantages: Predictable, nothing like the book, Slightly boring at times.

.../>

21 is an action thriller film which was released last year. I had this DVD through the post on Lovefilm at the weekend as the plot sounded interesting. I remember choosing this film to put on my list for two main reasons. One after reading the plot it sounded worth a watch and second I am a huge fan of Kevin Spacey and like all of the films and characters he plays. I also found it interesting that Kevin helped produce this movie ...
...I sat down and watched 21 which I was neither impressed nor disappointed with. I hadn’t actually heard of this film before finding it on Lovefilm which I am quite surprised about really I am not sure if it was out at the cinema for long or it was advertised a lot but I hadn’t come across it. From the plot and the front cover shown on the Lovefilm website I got the main idea of the film and it sounded quite action packed and interesting. The director’s ... more

Advantages: good directing and good acting
Disadvantages: you lose if you gamble or play cards

21 blackjack main cast Jim Sturgess Ben Campbell Kevin Spacey Prof Mickey Rosa Kate Bosworth Jill Taylor Aaron Yoo Choi Jacob Pitts Jimmy Fisher review Gambling is the main subject surrounding the plot. Twenty one, is a game of Blackjack played at private clubs, amongst friends, and most often at casino's. Usually the hand nearest twenty one wins. If your hand is seventeen and my hand is twenty two or over you win. Easy as that. Now in this film, ...

Laying The Cards On The Table

Advantages: Nice easy going enjoyable story
Disadvantages: Winner Winner! Chicken Dinner!

21 has a highly predictable but enjoyable 80's ring about it, it's the first of in an influx of movies about the increasing fascination regarding card games; The Grand, and The Deal are about to follow in its wake. While the other two add up well in their specific stories, 21 is going to be the movie remembered and I might go as far as to say, the one movie that 20 years from now is still enjoyed. Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is a bright kid, but ...
...see the 80's as yesterday. 21 offers strong moral issues rather like many movies of the 80's, when movies were in a strange transitional period. 21 also has the classic feel about it, allowing it to fall into the category of being a classic, a bit like 80's movies Wargames, Back To The Future, Gremlins and The Indiana Jones movies; while many movies of the noughties are successful I don't see them being held in any acclaim 20 years from now, what ...

21 - Counting cards pays off.

Advantages: An interesting story, more so because it is based upon fact.
Disadvantages: A bit predictable towards the end.

...is based upon fact. 21 is based on the book 'Bringing Down The House' by Ben Mezrich. ===What's it all about?=== The film is centres on the character of Ben Campbell played by Jim Sturgess. He is a student at MIT in Boston, who desperately wants to get into Harvard Medical School to become a doctor. The film opens with him being interviewed for a scholarship there, as paying is out of the question. The interview doesn't appear to be going so well, ...
...and here his natural ability shines. So much so, that he draws the attention of his lecturer played by Kevin Spacey. He is invited to an extra curricular maths class with a difference; when he arrives he realises that a group of four other exceptional students are being trained by Professor Rosa (Kevin Spacey) to count cards at Blackjack. The plan is to work as a team and make a killing in Vegas, whilst going undetected. Ben is reluctant to join ...

Hitting Las Vegas By Storm

Advantages: Good storyline, good actors, great film.
Disadvantages: Not too keen on the music.

...The House' by Ben Mezrich, 21 seemed to me at first to be another boring film that Columbia Pictures have dished out. I thought it would be unforgettable and I wouldn't even want to do a review on it. However, about 20 minutes into the film I began to be pulled in. This is why. ===The Outline Plot=== Ben Campbell is an MIT student who wants to go to Harvard on a scholarship, however he is just one of around 70 people applying for this same scholarship, ...
...to write an essay or tell him something that 'dazzles' him. So Ben goes into the story of something that happened in his past. ===The Inside Plot=== When Mickey Rosa, Ben's Non Linear Equations teacher notices that Ben has an incredible gift he brings him into an after hours card counting session and eventually go to Las Vegas to count cards in Blackjack. Ben is reluctant at first, but with the fact that Harvard's tuition is $300,000 he needs to ...

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Advantages: An excellent, fast paced plot, with excellent acting and direction
Disadvantages: For me there actually weren't any

...I'd seen the adverts for 21 I thought it would be a film I'd like to see and I certainly wasn't disappointed. It is a very involving story that draws you in quite early on and holds your interest throughout as you really sympathise with the lead character. It's a very well written thriller with a number of decent twists and turns to keep you guessing as to what is actually going to happen. It is, like so many directors, the first time I've come ...
...Law and Legally Blonde. I was impressed with the way he told this story and I think the idea of using Sturgess as a narrator as well as the lead character worked incredibly well. The camera angles and shooting methods worked incredibly well to show the double lives of the characters and also highlight the magic of Las Vegas. In fact if anything as well as a feature film, this film works well as an advert for Vegas itself. The adaptation of the true ...

Laurel and Hardy 21 dvd boxset

Advantages: Much better quality than VHS
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

For all of my life I have been a laurel and hardy fan. I was an advocate of the "old fashioned" vhs videos and had a great collection of all of the boys films, which I treasured, but was reluctant to play in case they got damaged. This new dvd boxset has been a godsend, in being concise, hard wearing, and excellent quality, so much so in I have even started given film shows, and lending the films out, to my sons to get them into carrying on the tradition of loving these great comedy genuises. There is even a range of colourised films included, which to a die hard B+W film lover was a shocking concept, but I must admit it was great to see the boys in the digitised colour versions of all of their classic films. My advice to all the L+H fans out there is to grab a boxset while they are available and give yourselves a treat. ...

Review of Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

Shoot Me In The Head, Please

Advantages: Acting and its 'different' style
Disadvantages: Slightly confusing and long

For starters, I have no idea how this film has earnt Oscar and Bafta nominations. It is worth saying that all the nominations are in relation to the performances, and the acting is one of the good things you can take from the film - but still - 21 Grams is not the sort of film you would expect to see picking up awards, and I guess that is the difference between the DVD box advertising the film for its nominations rather than it's victories. This 2003 released only worked its way into my DVD collection because I didn't know what it was about, but I liked the title. The slogan for the movie is, "How much does life weigh?" and you sort of expect the film to be about drugs, well it is slightly, but it is also about so much more. Apparently when you die you lose 21 grams from your body weight, and that begs the question of how much does ...

Review of 21 Grams (DVD)

Catharsis and depression!

Advantages: Suberb performances, escapes typical Hollywood movies
Disadvantages: Needs a DVD with more features and better image

INTRODUCTION: After the exceptional ?Lost Loves? (Amores Perros), the Mexican Inarritu decided to take a stroll in Hollywood. However, in order to gain recognition, shine and certainly more money in his banking account, he decides to tell a human story precisely as he wanted it. With mature, suburb protagonists Penn, Watts and Del Toro, sets up a tangled game of time, coincidences, choices and, finally, fate. The hope comes from Mexico! :) THE STORY: ?21 Grams? is the tragic story of three strangers whose lives are brought together by a terrible accident; "21 Grams" is the latest film from director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ( as mentioned above) and it is available on DVD from Universal. Inarritu caused quite a stir in the independent film world with his major motion picture debut, "Amores Perros," in 2000. "Amores Perros" drew ...
