I just watched the movie yesterday and all i can say is I enjoyed every second of it! :) Napapapalakpak pa nga ako minsan eh.Sulit na sulit ang 141 pesos ko. :)

Siguro dahil I see myself in Ben Campbell..as in the geeky type!
Watch the movie na lang. I recommend this movie to the geeky statistics students out there or kahit sino na lang na mahilig sa math. :)

Thanks Ms. Ditas(officemate) and Hpie (orgmate) for recommending this movie to me. Pinanood ko talaga sya khit namamahalan ako sa pagpanood ng sine. Actually this is only the second movie that I watched ngayong 2008,hindi pa nga movie yun isa eh hehe.

The true story of the very brightest young minds in the country - and how they took Vegas for millions. Ben Campbell is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who -- needing to pay school tuition -- finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. With unorthodox math professor and stats genius Micky Rosa leading the way, they've cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor, Ben begins to push the limits. Though counting cards isn't illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos' menacing enforcer: Cole Williams.

It was nice. Very interesting. Nahihilig na ako sa movies na may cards ah.. The first is lucky you na about poker ngayon naman ay 21 na about blackjacks!

Before the movie, nagresearch na ako about the Monty Hall problem kasi sabi ni Hpie andun daw yun sa movie so inintindi ko muna sya at nun nakita ko na sya, cool! Ang galing niya! Ako really kahit sa unang isipan sasabihin ko na 50% ang probability na mapipili yun car and now naintindihan ko na kung bakit 66.7% ang sagot.hehehe. Natandaan ko from the movie tong quote na "Always account for variable change!"

About the counting thing na ginagawa nila,mejo gets ko na yun concept kaya lang hindi pa sya ganun kaclear sa kin.

The cast is good. Natuwa lang ako dahil Choi and Kianna are Asians. In fact, Kianna is Fil-Am.Amazing!

Hindi lang pala ganun kasimple maglaro ng black jack. You need to understand the rules and theory behind the game for you to become a skillful player.. Ayun lang..

Parang gusto kong magpunta sa Las Vegas and try my luck there just like ng ginawa nila..seriously...hehehe malay natin...someday..sana.. :) pero nakakatakot din ayoko mabugbog ahahaha saka kelangan ko pa maging expert sa cards... Grabe pero naeexcite na talaga ako ngayon pa lang makapunta sa sin city since may free flights naman ako dun eh.hehe
