21 Gets A Blackjack

Moviegoers wanted to watch folks beating Las Vegas, so they went in droves to make 21 the number one movie in the box office this weekend. The film earned an estimated $23 million. Kate Bosworth and Kevin Spacey star in the film. The film has received mixed reviews, but I guess that didn’t stop folks from checking it out. I didn’t check it out, but I’d definitely watch it on DVD. It’s based on a true story about a bunch of MIT students counting cards in Vegas. Sounds like a Friday night winner to me. The Dr. Seuss-inspired film Horton Hears a Who came in second. Ryan Phillippe’s new movie, Stop-Loss, came in eighth, which was a huge surprise to me. I thought there would be more fans clamoring to see that.
