"How can you not be romantic about baseball?"

If I had the time and the privacy, I would write a long and detailed review of Moneyball and explain to you oh-so-well why I loved it so much. But I don't. So this will have to do. Moneyball is the reason I love movies. It perfectly encapsulates the reasons I love baseball and screenwriting and movie making in general. It may not be some poetic, ethereal experience like The Tree of Life, but as far as I'm concerned Moneyball is the best movie of the year so far. It's a great film, heartwarming and funny and so well done. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill (yes, THAT Jonah Hill) should both be nominated for Oscars. Go see it right this very second!
