Blackjack movie 21 is out on DVD!

I saw it at the cinema, I’ve blogged about it here, here and here and now it’s out on DVD and Blu-ray! The release date is set for next week and i for one can’t wait to see the movie again.

For those of you who don’t already know what 21 is about, it’s based on Ben Mezrich’s 2003 book Bringing Down the House. It centres on Ben Campbell (played by Ben Sturgess) who as a senior at MIT was drafted into professor Micky Rosa’s ( Kevin Spacy) maths wiz kid Blackjack team. The idea behind the team? Too count cards and take the Las Vegas casinos to the cleaners. If you’ve not seen it, then get yourself a copy, I highly recommend it!

Playing Vegas

I see that the 21 movie had its premiere in New York today. I must say, I can’t wait for that movie to open worldwide!

For those of you who don’t know, or have been in casino limbo, it’s the true story of a group of MIT students who took Vegas for millions.

It’s apparently a very good portrayal of land based casinos in the US and a legendary story within the casino industry. 21 stars Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Spacy and Jim Sturgess.

You can view the trailer here.

I’ll give you a full review once I’ve seen this little gem of a movie, so watch this space.
