Things are going very well, but now a new super criminal arrives on the scene, and attacks the city. Batman is in a battle now, as the Joker is dispensing an overwhelming assault on Gotham City.

TWENTY ONE: This movie tells the actual tale of M.I.T. wiz kids who built a winning formula to beat blackjack. These wiz kids learned to beat the game, and then performed an assault on the casinos. To beat the games in Vegas, where players can be banned for winning with card counting skills, they had to change casinos often, and disguise themselves, so the wouldn't get caught. This movie is based on the best selling book that tells how the M.I.T. teams made millions playing blackjack.

10,000 B.C.: This film sends us back 1,000's of years. When a warlike tribe attack the Yaghai's, they capture, among others, Evolet. A young hunter named D'Leh, who is in love with her, organizes a band of hunters to chase down these warmongers, and rescue Evolet and the others.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: I guess it was a typical night out in Vegas. Barely remembering what had happened, Jack and Joy wake up and soon realize that they had married each other the night before. They wind up winning a large jackpot at the slot machines, but the question is who should get the money, so they try to settle it in court. The judge decides that the two must stay married for a few months, and see if they can settle their differences. With an eye on the jackpot, they conspire to make each other quit the marriage, as they are both determined to wind up with all the money.

WALL-E: This picture is a science fiction adventure in animation. Everyone has been removed from Earth because it had become a big pile of trash. Waste removal robot, Wall-E, has been left to clean up the planet. When a recon bot (Eve) appears, checking to see if the planet can sustain any life, Walle-E has a friend. When the spaceship returns for Eve, Wall-E somehow get on the ship, and thus starts the adventure of his robot life.

These days just about everyone buys or rents films when the come out on DVD, and views them on their home entertainment system. A more recent method for getting films is by using down loading technologies off websites. Online providers have websites that offer downloading of almost any film you can think of. - 16755
