Moneyball

"Okay, Anton, get this: it's a movie about an underdog baseball team..."
"That's one thumb down."
"...and it co-stars Jonah Hill."
"Annnd that's the other one down."

Seriously, "Moneyball" is awesome because it is about a man fighting against a world entrenched in a bad philosophy.  And that man is played by Brad Pitt.  And Jonah Hill doesn't try to be funny. 

The criticism leveled against Brad Pitt's character reminds me of so much of the criticism of President Obama, because so many of these critics seem to be rooting for him to fail somehow--rooting for the country to fail, really--so they can be the first to say: 'see, I told you so.'
