Trailers

Muppets: I've been following the new Muppet movie trailers & the newest one, "Being Green" is classic, old-school Muppet Show subversiveness. Absolutely hilarious. But will the whole movie be this funny?

Moneyball: "Moneyball", the book, was about how Billy Beane re-invented the game of baseball. In "Moneyball", the movie, Brad-Pitt-as-Billy-Beane throws desks and chairs and seems to leave the thinking to Jonah Hill. What would be so wrong with a movie that shows one, single character as an integrated human being who can think and take action based on his own thinking? And actually be the good guy! Pass.
