These wiz kids planned, trained, and executed a ruthless attack on the tables. To play in Las Vegas, where card counting can get you banned, they devised signals, disguises, and even fake drivers liscenses, to keep from being banned. This movie is based on the best selling book that explains how these kids took it to the casinos.
10,000 B.C.: This film will take you back almost 12,000 years. When a warlike tribe storm the Yaghai people, they capture, among others, Evolet.

They wind up winning a large jackpot at the slot machines, but each thinks they deserve the prize, so they try to settle it in court. It is decided that they must stay together for six months, and see if they can settle their differences. With $3 million on the line, the battle is on as both want to get the money for themselves.
WALL-E: This picture is an animated, comedy, adventure, sci-fi. Earth has been left behind, an uninhabitale wasteland. Wall-E, a trash collecting robot, is assigned to clean up the mess. When a recon bot (Eve) appears, checking to see if the planet can sustain any life, Wall-E finally has some company. When the spaceship returns for Eve, Wall-E sneaks aboard, and thus starts the adventure of his robot life.
These days just about everyone buys or rents films, and watch them at home. An increasingly popular way to get movies is through downloads from the internet. Online providers have websites that will download virtually any movie ever made.
