" Winner Winner Chicken Dinner "

This is a true story based on the MIT Blackjack Team.
I never had the interest of watching it until i found out it was based on true story and it is about what it is about.... LOL..
btw, i thought he was Josh Harnett :P actually...Jim Sturgess.... haha
For those who never heard of it......here's a quote from Wikipedia

"The MIT Blackjack Team were a group of students and ex-students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard Business School, Harvard University, and other leading colleges who utilized card-counting techniques and more sophisticated strategies to beat casinos at blackjack worldwide. The team and its successors operated from 1979 through the beginning of the 21st century. Many other blackjack teams have been formed around the world with the goal of beating the casinos. Most of these teams keep a low profile and are not publicly known."

Altho the reallife students are mostly asian american.....but this movie turns most to whites. Jeff Ma = Ben Campbell

The movie started when Ben being interview for Robinson Scholarship.... being question what has he done in his life and the story begins.......
Kevin Spacey as Micky, one of the professor in MIT, invites Ben to the team and continues their card counting game in Vegas making big money....
as usual, appetite grows with the increase of $$..... not everyone can control themselves.....
but.....why on earth you keep the money on the ceilings....not just money..it's Ks and Ks of money.................

I love it when the movie close with the Dazzled Scholarship administrator... lol
