Moneyball is based on the true story of William Lamar "Billy" Beane III: once a would-be baseball superstar who; stung by
the failure to live up to expectations on the field, turned his fiercely competitive nature to management. Heading into the
2002 season, he faces a dismal situation: his Oakland A’s have lost their star players (again) to big market clubs (and their enormous salaries) and is left to rebuild his team and compete with a third of their payroll. Driven to win,
Billy takes on the system by challenging the fundamental tenants of the game. He looks outside of baseball, to the dismissed theories of
Bill James, and hires Peter Brand, a brainy, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist. Together they take on conventional
wisdom with a willingness to reexamine everything and armed with computer driven statistical analysis long ignored by the
baseball establishment. As the two forge forward, their new methods and roster of misfits rile the old guard, the
media, the fans, and their own field manager, who refuses to cooperate.
Forget the baseball factor. A highly entertaining film with the bonus of Brad Pitt in the lead. 4 STARS. TRAILER HERE
Something ancient and evil is alive in the darkness beneath the Blackwood Mansion. When young Sally Hurst arrives in Rhode
Island to visit her father Alex and his new girlfriend Kim at the Victorian mansion they are restoring, she
already feels like an outsider and her ornate new home seems like a cold and unwanted prison. Alex, consumed with his grand
project and his aspirations as an architect, is distant, having lost touch with his daughter, and Kim's every effort to
establish a bond with Sally ends in frustration. Finding comfort and escape in her solitary exploration of the property, and
despite the warnings of the caretaker Mr Harris, Sally embarks on an adventure that leads to the discovery of a hidden
basement, undisturbed since the mysterious disappearance a century earlier of the mansion's builder, famed nature
illustrator Emerson Blackwood. Once the private studio of Blackwood, the dark and dank underground chamber houses the
secrets of the past of this unstable and unholy place, and perhaps something even more sinister.
Downright silly. Totally unbelievable. And, it aint even scary.Waste of time. 1 1/2 STARS. TRAILER HERE
Even for those people who have never been to Paris, the name of the city is more than ametaphor for magic: it's almost a synonym.
Certainly there's no better place on earththat Woody Allen could have chosen for his new romantic comedy than Paris.
When American couple John and his wife Helen visit Paris on business, they are accompanied by their daughter Inez and her
writer fiancé Gil. Gil is again smitten by Paris, regretting he didn't stay when he visited once before and hoping for
inspiration to help him finish his first novel following a good run with Hollywood screenplays. After a late night walk on
his own, Gil is urged by a happy crowd in a vintage car to join them at a party, which to his astonishment is full of famous
writers and artists from the Paris of the 1920s, being entertained by Cole Porter at the piano. He soon meets the stunning
Adriana, currently having an affair with Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein who offers to read his manuscript. Unsure of how
all this happened, Gil returns to the midnight rendezvous point once more.
Wonderful cast, beautiful images of Paris and Owen Wilson in good form, as is Woody Allen. 4 1/2 STARS. TRAILER HERE
