Owhk...so in my last post i mentioned dat i was goin to have a long hiatus but before that long break i was gonna post bout 2 movies..guess it was da other way round....been kinda lazy/busy...

so before telling you guys on wat happened this week..the movie im addicted to is:
1. 21(DVD COVER CAN B SEEN IN PREVIOUS POST)


This movie is about

Jim Sturgess-Ben Campbell determined to get into Harvard Med. but not having the finance for it...opting him into....become a card counter

Kate Bosworth-Jill Taylor being already in the team persuading Ben to join the team and make more than you could even imagine....

Kevin Spacey-Mickey Rosa being a pro in card counting brings the team to Las Vegas every weekend to casinos to put their skills to the test and earn winnings legally..



A rough gist?? (Quote here from WIKIPEDIA)"During an advanced math class, Professor Micky Rosa challenges Ben with a three door variable change problem, which Campbell succeeds in solving. Rosa invites Ben to join MIT's five-member Blackjack Team. The team uses a complex language of hand signals, "spotters" and "big players" to count cards and win large amounts of money at various casinos."



the movie itself is not like a killer blockbuster like Pearl Harbor and Armaggedon but its definitely one to watch cuz it shows dat there are legal ways to win *BLACKJACK*...but still cops or big scary security men tell u to leave da hotel when u didnt really do anything wrong except win almost half of da casino money..*snaps fingers*...just like that!



2. the next movie i really love..and have been dying to buy da dvd until only last holiday when i did(phew)...A WALK TO REMEMBER.



Most of my classmates from Grade 9...have watched this movie in school before..but we never got to finish da movie...cuz of break time...(sigh) but anyways the movie is about

Shane West-Landon Carter being a bad boy type of character himself...lol..erm is like one of those popular kids with a gang but after threatened with expulsion he has no choice but to do some community work...

Mandy Moore-Jamie Sullivan is the daughter of a reverend...quiet but well spoken...has a wishlist of many things like being in two places at once...witnessing a miracle..getting a tattoo....etc.



A rough idea of da movie..here and there(INFO FROM WIKIPEDIA)"His(Landon Carter) punishment is mandatory participation in various after-school activities, such as tutoring disadvantaged children and performing in the drama club's spring musical. At these functions he is forced to interact with quiet, bookish Jamie Sullivan....



(later in the movie)When Landon has trouble learning his lines, he asks Jamie for help. She agrees to help him if he promises not to fall in love with her. Landon laughs off the strange remark, believing Jamie to be the last person with whom he would ever fall in love. After all, Landon has access to the prettiest and most popular girls in school.



Landon and Jamie begin practicing together at her house after school. The two form a tentative friendship, and Landon learns that Jamie has a wish list of all the things she hopes to do in her life, such as getting a tattoo and being in two places at once.During the play, Jamie astounds Landon and the entire audience with her beauty and voice. Landon kisses Jamie during the play, which was not in the script, and Landon tries to get close to Jamie, but she repeatedly rejects him. It is only after a mean joke played on Jamie by Landon's friends that Jamie agrees to get to know Landon, and the two pursue a relationship.



*Jamie has a wish list, he sets out to help her accomplish them. One memorable date had Landon taking Jamie to the state line. He excitedly positions her on the line in just the right way, and when Jamie asks him what he's doing he tells her "You're in two places at once". Her face lights up with joy, as she realizes that Landon set out to make her impossible dreams come true.*



Jamie finally tells Landon that she has terminal leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments. As Jamie is hospitalized, Landon fulfills various wishes on Jamie's list, such as building her a telescope so she can see a comet. Through this process, Landon and Jamie learn more about the nature of love. The movie ends with Jamie's death, but only after the couple are married in the same chapel as was Jamie's deceased mother, the event that topped Jamie's wish list. Landon himself becomes a better person through Jamie's memory, achieving the goals that he set out to do, like she did.



Four years later, Landon visits Jamie's father. It is obvious that Jamie helped him to focus and become a better person. For example, he reveals he has finished college and been accepted to medical school; prior to meeting her he had no plans for life after high school. He tells Jamie's father that he is sorry he could not grant Jamie's wish to witness "a miracle" before she died. Her father says "She did. It was you".



So sorry if it looks crammed and stuff....but anyways one the best romances a total classic..prepare to have a box of tissues...sniffs sniffs
