FILM REVIEW - David Martínez

21 Blackjack is a 2008 film directed by Robert Luketic and starring Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Laurence Fishburne and Kate Bosworth. It tells the story of Ben Campbell, a brilliant MIT student who is recruited by Micky Rosa (a maths teacher) for go into some Las Vegas' casinos with other brilliant students to earn thousands of dollars by using a cheating trick. Ben accepts because he needs the money to enter in a prestigious university. 

What I most liked of the film was the way the game scenes have been filmed, with good shots that make you be stuck on the film.

On the other hand, I found the main plot a bit unrealistic, because in real casinos, you can't go every week and earns money every time you play without being suspicious... you would've been kicked out at the third time.

Overall, I find this film entertaining and I recommend it to everyone who likes this kind of films. But don't expect to watch a masterpiece... i give it a 6

Dialogue- Alba Vigo!!!

Clara and Aina, who are friends, are in the courtyard eating her breakfast and they are discussing about the advantages and disadvantages of online platforms like Megadede. Clara: Aina, I think that these platforms can give people the freedom to see a movie or series free and any moment they want. And also you can do a binge-watch with your family or friend, and you have all season to watch in the instant. What do you think about it? Aina: Yes, of course, I totally agree with you, but these types of broadcast have less emotion when you wait to see the next chapter, and these are the essence of the companies. While the TV companies, the actors and the actress are studying the role of the series for week and week, you will see it in one day, that it's really obsessing, they think that their job is very scorned. Clara: Yes, I think so, but it's more ridiculous when you don't pay to see a movie and go to the cinema and the next day, that movie appears in it an

Dialogue (Lluís Vaz)

Dialogue: Marie and Claire are having a Little Conversation about a film that Marie recommended to Ana. Both have come across on the Street:  Marie: Hi Claire, had you seen the film at the end? Claire: The link that you had send me yesterday didn't work! I have tried for a long          time, but at the end I decide to ignore it and try to watch it in another platform. Put any of they work correctly, so many adverts, so much time to upload new chapters… Well, you now it, all   these platforms are rubbish. Marie: I have told you so many times. You should give a try to platforms. The best, for me, is Megadede. I'm going to ask my fathers if you can come to my house this Monday to try it with me.  Claire: No way! I don't have any problem on meeting you on Monday, but I refuse to see something on Megadede. Come on! Going to the cinema, is, for far, better idea than using this platform. I suggest you another plan. Why not seeing Detective Pikachu on the cine
