Moneyball

I have just made a new post about Mighty Macs, the true story of Immaculata College's 1972 basketball team. Coming out soon is a similar movie. Moneyball is a true story about the Oakland A's general manager (Brad Pitt) that realizes that baseball's conventional wisdom is wrong. He decides to reinvent his team with very little money. He teams up with a college graduate (Jonah Hill) and starts recruiting players that other scouts have passed over. This team challenges the laws and traditions of baseball and revolutionizes the game.

I am excited to see this one as well. I love baseball and I think that this will be a great movie. Let me know in the comments if you've seen it and what you think about this movie.

Mighty Macs

Some people may know that a movie is being made on Immaculata College's 1972 basketball coach. Starring Carla Gugino and David Boreanaz (who is from around this area. He went to Rosemont School of the Holy Child, Malvern Preparatory School, and graduated from Ithaca College.) Mighty Macs is about Cathy Rush, a newly married woman, that decides to coach the women's basketball team at Immaculata College. She is faced with many challenges such as the fact that there is no gymnasium on campus, little if not no support from the head of school, and the limited school funds. Although it seems as though the Mighty Macs have no chance of making it anywhere, maybe their prayers will pull through :)

I was interested in this because Immaculata College is close to me. I hear people all talking about how they know people in the movie and how cool it is so I hope I will get to see it soon. Post a comment if you have seen it to let me know how it is.

Footloose (2011)

Last Friday, the remake of the classic 1984 Footloose came to theaters. I was excited about this because I love the old Footloose. It is about a boy that moves to the small town of Bomont, Georgia from Boston MA. He soon finds out that dancing is banned from Bomont. When he meets the rebel daughter of the preacher that created the law against dancing, he decides he wants to change that law. I saw this movie and thought it was fantastic. It was better than the 1st, which is a hard thing to do. The music, dancing, and action in this movie made it great. Willard's funny little sayings made the movie great. I would definitely recommend seeing it while it's still out. And for those who have seen the remake but not the original, I would definitely advise seeing the original. It's a classic.
