What's Your Number?



After Ally Darling (Anna Faris) gets fired from her job, she read a article in a magazine on her way home that leads her to think she's going to be alone for the rest of her life, due to the amount of men she slept with. Not wanting to be alone forever and not wanting to increase her number, she hires her next-door-neighbor Colin (Chris Evans) to help her search for her past "ex's". Meanwhile, she has her baby sister Daisy (Ari Graynor) wedding to deal with.



What's your number is a romantic comedy with a fresh new outlook on how women deals with the number of men they have slept with, and how they lie about their number to others. It's funny and surprisingly sweet.



I give this movie 3 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.

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.
