Friday Night At The Movies

"Bringing Down The House"
by Ben Mezrich
I read this book a few years ago and was
excited to finally see the movie based on the true
story in this book....
"21" The Movie
The movie was great, however, I enjoyed the book much more.
The story is based on M.I.T Students who make millions of
dollars counting cards in Las Vegas. I saw a Documentary
on The History Channel with some of the actual participants
of the M.I.T Card Counting Teams. It was fascinating to me, making
me want to read the book and see the movie when it finally came out.
Being that I am not a gambler or even card player at all....I still
totally enjoyed learning about the M.I.T Card Counting Black Jack
Teams. I loved the way the movie, 21, ended.
Have you seen this movie or read the book?

I haven't, but seeing that my youngest is one of the popular black jack dealers at a local casino...I just may have to!
