Inspired by the book Bringing Down the House this film was a disappointment, then I went on wikipedia and found out the book was mostly fictional. So here is the deal: Vegas…cool, Blackjack…cool, Card Counting…cool, Money…cool. After reading the book years ago I wanted to become a card counter. Apathy and laziness derailed that ambition. The movie is not the book, and the book is not real, so wtf, I think I wasted a large chunk of my time.
Even so the book was more exciting and interesting than the film.

The Dark Knight…
This film is incredibly epic. This is not just the greatest superhero film, or the best batman movie, it’s one of the best batman stories ever told in any medium. Just go see it. Stop reading and go see it.

Last time I had only viewed 4 movies from the requirements list. And while I have seen more, it’s not a lot. Not sure if I can meet the deadline. I have seen movies though, just not from the list…
27 films in 49 days.

My first attempt to get an iphone has failed. AT&T only had ten 16 gb Black iphones, and I was the 15th person in line that wanted one. Another AT&T store had even less stock. Drove to the Apple Store in Ardmore and the line was wrapped around the store several times, so F that.
I'll try my luck in the later days.
