MONEYBALL
Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman.
A baseball movie based on the true story of Billy Bean, an ex major leaguer turned general manager of the Oakland A's. It's a baseball movie for those of us who love all the ins and outs of the game. Excellent performances.
WE BOUGHT A ZOO
Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church.
Based on the true story of Benjamin Mee who finds the perfect country house for his family only to learn that the house comes with an eighteen acre zoo, complete with animals, and a staff of zookeepers.
SHERLOCK HOLMES: A Game of Shadows
Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Fry, Jared Harris. Traditional Sherlock Holmes fans will know what's going on in this fast-paced Guy Ritchie production. Holmes matches wits with his arch enemy, Moriarty and gets by with a little help from older brother, Mycroft and best friend, Watson. This movie is all about the interaction between Downey, Law, and Harris. I enjoyed it for what it was--an action adventure/buddy movie set during the late Victorian period.
