I Don't Know She Does It is directed by Douglas McGrath of (Infamous) about the balancing act that today's women faces trying to take care of their career, family and themself. This is a wonderful insight to a stress-out working mom, who is trying to be everything to everyone and realizes that when you prove yourself worthy in your field, you need to stop running the rat-race and enjoy what you have. Great movie for single mom, married mom and everything in between.

I give this movie 4 Stars.

Moneyball

The General Manager of the Oakland A's Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) has a dilemma, he just lost three main players to free agent deals to other teams, now he has to replace them, and but together a baseball club on a shoestring budget making it harder. Until his visit to Cleveland Indian club were he meets Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) a Ivy league grad who uses his computer analysis system program to draft Billy's new players, base on scores, runs and win of the games. This new technology challenges everything that all recruiting scout hold as traditional.

Moneyball is base on a true story, directed by Bennett Miller who has really capture the struggle to make a underdog team like the Oakland A's achieve the impossible achievement of 20 straight games won by a team on a very low budget. Bratt Pitt and Jonah Hill are excellent in these role. I do see Oscar performance in this film.

I give this movie 4 stars.

Creature

A group of friends head out on a road trip to Louisiana, when they decided to stop at a roadside gas station. The owner Chopper (Sid Haig) told the guys the story of the local legend, "Lock-jaw" a creature who is half man and half alligator, while the girls went to the bathroom. Intriguing some of the guys, they head to the home of the creature called Grimley (Daniel Bernhardt) getting dark they set-up camp nearby the creature's home. Now the creature is after them and they need to escape before it's to late.

Creature is a new version of a B-movie, with cheesy effects and embarrassing stereotype swamp creature, this movie would have been best suited for straight to DVD viewing.

I give this movie 1 1/2 Stars.
