Moneyball

If you are itching to get out of the house today, then might I recommend you head to your local movie theater?  There are quite a few movies being released in theaters today, but only one has already started creating Oscar buzz.  That movie is Moneyball.  

The movie is actually based on a true story.  Brad Pitt plays Billy Beane the manager of the Oakland A’s with a partner Peter Brand played by Jonah Hill. The two have to find a way to create a winning baseball team with low funds and a ton of other obstacles.  The do just that by using analysis done on the computer to find budget players that have the potential to win the game.

The movie also features Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, and Chris Pratt.

Watch the trailer below to see if Moneyball seems like your type of movie.  It is sure getting a lot of attention from others, so more than likely it will be something that you will find interesting as well.  If you have already seen the film, then let me know how you liked it by leaving a comment.  Do you think that Brad deserves an Oscar for this character portrayal?
