Being from Oakland, I really want to see "Moneyball", but I won't pay 10 bucks for a theatre ticket with a tiny screen. I'll wait until it comes out on dvd, then rent it for a buck.
OK, GS. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a baseball movie.
And since the last first-run movie I saw was
Winnie The Pooh (as chaperone
) and before that it was the gosh-awful
No Country for Old Men (yes, seriously, it was 2007)...I had the very rare opportunity to pick one -- and I chose
Moneyball.
Is it an Oscar winner? No. But it's a good story told (and acted) well. Spring for the On-Demand 3-bucks and enjoy it for 2-hours. Pitt is appropriately cast and Aaron Sorkin did a fine job with the screenplay. He sure does know how to pick a good story. They also did a great job of intertwining acting footage with the real deal. Special effects guys really earned their money but probably won't get any credit for it.
Amazing that Beane has been with the As for as long as he has.
