Flavie's Film Review: Money Ball

«The story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players» -Youtube


Ok girls, lets have a little chat.
I know baseball is not your thing and it will ne never be.
BUT, you should watch Moneyball by Bennett Miller.

For three reasons:
A) Brad Pitt. nough' said. (Seriously, he's good/ believable/ natural)
He filled the part of Billy Bean perfectly and he is easy to watch (if you know what i mean *wink wink)

B) Jonah Hill.
He's not the fat stoner kid from Superbad anymore. He's wiser, grown-up and Yale trained.
His appraoch to baseball with a stats system is just plain GENIOUS.
You're in management? That's your application of Stats right there!


C) Aaron Sorkin
If you don't know who that is, go google him RIGHT NOW.
He is just the most brilliant writer of this generation. If you've seen The West Wing or Social Network.
you know he creates the most intellectualy interesting dialogue EVAR.
I give it a 9 on 10. It's a GOOD movie like you don't see around that much. Some scenes are just too brilliant to be true. You will laugh your ass off, I garan*fucking*ty it. I watched it in french (against my will, i have to admit) and it was still brilliant.

I do not give it a 10 on 10. But only because it's about baseball.
I know, I'm mean like that.  Haha.

Love yall, more movie reviews coming soon.

Question of the post: What is the best movie you've seen this year so far?

Says here that you will like me forever if I post a comment. The pressure is definitely on haha.


Moneyball does sound like a solid movie. And, as you may or may not know, I'm a huge fan of my boy Brad Pitt. 'nuff said.

I also like the fact that Jonah Hill uses a stats approach. Reminds me of our teacher, Derek old boy. There's a stats approach to everything apparently.
