How is that Aaron Sorkin can make so many unfilmable sounding subjects watchable and fun? I'll bet even Michael Lewis never thought Moneyball could be film, much less made into an Oscar winning movie with Brad Pitt.
This was Pitt's first film I'd seen in awhile where he actually looked older. Not you know less handsome but a liittttle closer to a human being. He's given some great performances before this (I loved his work in Inglorious Bastards and Killing Them Softly and Assassination of Jesse James are two of the best films that I guarantee you no Brad Pitt fan knows exists) but this was one of his most human. I loved Jonah Hill and seeing this makes me miss Philip Seymour Hoffman even more. I haven't watched it eight times yet, but I probably will.
