21

For the first time in way too long, Steve and I snuck out of a fundraising dinner to catch a great movie last night: 21. It was the perfect film to remind me why I love the entire movie theater experience. Being in a dark stadium seating theater with a huge screen and pulsing music is exhilerating. Regardless of how large our home theater systems become, it won't be able to match the excitement of the large screen experience and the dangerous feel of being in the dark with strangers, sharing the same experience.

But I digress. 21 was such a great movie. There were chase scenes, suspense, a love story, and a rags to riches component. The acting was great, Kevin Spacey was intense as usual, but newcomer Jim Sturgess and Kate Bosworth were great as well. The card counting math was beyond me, but it didn't make the movie any less enjoyable. I guess that's why I'm at my computer blogging about the film instead of in a casino.
