Chaos Theory is a story about Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds), a man obsessed with order and efficiency, there's not a single thing in his life that he hasn't set a priority. He respects his schedule, well planned events are leading into other well planned events but when a short delay appears his world collapses. From now on, he invites chaos in his life, trying to live in a completly different way. The movie will make you laugh, it has some really nice comic situations. Anyway, it's not pure comedy, there's also the drama that Frank and Susan Allen (Emily Mortimer) live, it's a story about true friendship and forgiveness.

Starring: Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Aaron Yoo, Lisa Lapira, Josh Gad, Laurence Fishburne, and Kevin Spacey
21 is a movie based on a true story, the story of a team of MIT students which manage to obtain a large amount of money at blackjack game in Las Vegas casinos using the card counting scheme. Anyway, the movie is not so accurate. Here's the plot: Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey), MIT professor, gathers a team of mathematical geniuses which he trains in blackjack card counting in order to ripp off Vegas casinos. Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) joins the team because he needs $300000 to attend Harvard Medical School. Being seduced by the glamour of Vegas, he doesn't stop when he reaches his aim and this leads him to problems. This film is "light" but it's still enjoyable due to Kevin Spacey performance. The original story is getting too hollywoodized, characters are acting in childish manners making the movie less credible.
