I liked it as well. I'm not sure that I liked it as much as MoneyBall though. I mean, if we are talking about movies with baseball at the core. It also didn't hurt that it centered around my beloved A's.

Do you really think they are telling the truth in this movie or is it to hyped up?  |

If you are conspiracy theorist the entire concept is complete fiction. I would venture we will never know. Either way if it is based on a true story you can bet that Hollywood molded it to fit the recipes that attract paying moviegoers. The whole reason the movie was made is because somebody hoped people would pay to see the "story".

I thought it was a bit weak.
Managed to check out Django Unchained the other day, now that is a good film.

This movie depicts a lot of prejudice I heard from other people who saw it. |

It's a movie about love and revenge set against the backdrop of the American slave industry in the 1850's -so, yeah, you could say that.
It's has racsism in it (obviously given time period) but I wouldn't say it was racsist, - all my chums were rooting for Django not "Monsewer" Candy 
Check it out -it's a good film.

We watched it last night. To be honest, I didn't it was all that great. I liked Clint much better in Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino, and Space Cowboys.

| I just got done watching Premium Rush. A decent action film with some okay chase scenes. It's probably worth a rental if you like Joseph Gordon-Levitt movies. |

We saw Haunted House a couple weeks ago. Very Funny. I don't even think Scary Movie 5 can compete.
And Movie 43. Holy S***. Literally. Probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while but it is definitely not for everyone. I would only recommend it if you are into comedians like Jim Norton or Dave Attell. Very very crude humor but I find myself constantly giggling everyday when I think about it. |

I'll rent it. I read a funny comment about it on Rotten Tomatoes though. Someone said that Movie 43 is the Citizen Kane of awful.  |
