While I don't really like sports, I'm a sucker for sports movies. I always love an underdog story. Moneyball manages to take something that should be incredibly boring, baseball statistics, and makes it into an engaging movie. It has a smart script that is really sold by Brad Pitt's charisma. And the movie does the impossible, it makes me almost like Jonah Hill.
Last summer, I listened to my first non-biographical audio book and it was Kathryn Stockett's The Help. I really enjoyed it and had a hard time putting my headphones down. I think the movie really did the book justice without changing too much. The cast is fantastic with too many wonderful actresses for me to list here. While this may not be new subject matter, it is really carried by a number of award worthy performances. The balance humor and drama help make this a sincere and entertaining film.
