This week we talk about Moneyball starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Starlord. Moneyball is based on a book and written by several people you don't know AND Aaron Sorkin. It was directed by Bennett Miller (Foxcatcher and Capote). 

Brad Pitt plays Oakland A's General Manager Billy Beane tries to find a way to find the most talented baseball players possible on the limited budget of his organization. Jonah Hill plays Peter Brand, economics whiz who develops a player algorithm to find low paid players' overlooked talents. 

This is a smart and entertaining film primarily due to the engaging story of the behind the scenes workings of baseball organizations and Aaron Sorkin's screenplay. As with any great screenplay it is difficult for even mediocre actors like Brad Pitt and Chris Pratt to screw it up. Luckily this movie also has Hoffman who is phenomal and surprisingly solid actor Jonah Hill. Enjoy!
