Moneyball

Had a chance to see this over the weekend at the $1.25 theater.  Earliest movie time I've ever been to of 10:20am.  Nice quiet theater with all of 6 other people or so.  Yes, not the nicest theater, but it didn't change the film I'm sure.

A very good movie, and I'm certainly not a baseball fan.  Yes, I've seen a bunch of  baseball movies (The Natural, The Sand Lot, The Rookie, Major League, League of Their Own, For Love of the Game, Field of Dreams, The Fan, come to mind), but my wife too enjoyed it and she's no sports fan.  Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill were both very good in it.  Sorry, ladies... Brad kept his shirt on the entire movie (Jonah, too, remained fully clothed).  It was nice to see Jonah in a film where he isn't playing the same role he seems to.  Did you know BTW that Jonah Hill is the voice of one of the characters from How to Train Your Dragon?  Me either.  It was a surprise when I saw that on imdb.
