This is a really good movie. Director Brad Bird(The Incredibles) does a wonderful job with this. Edge of your seat viewing.
Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Simon Pegg make a great team.
Good storyline. The action is intense.
Highly recommended.

There have been some great movies centered around the game of baseball.
Field of Dreams. Bang the Drum Slowly. The Natural. A League of Their Own. Bull Durham.
You can add Moneyball to the list.
Outstanding casting. Brad Pitt deserved his Oscar nomination as did Jonah Hill. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was wonderful as manager Art Howe. Some of his actions as manager reminded me of John Gillis when he was baseball coach at BFA. It was that realistic.
Watch this movie, and you too, can be "romantic about baseball".

Aaron Sorkin is an amazing writer. Sportsnight was one of my favorite shows.
He now has created The Newsroom for HBO. I really like this show. Great casting. Great ensamble. Great set design. Sorkin's writing is topnotch.
Sundays at 10pm with replays all weeek long.

Last Sunday, Margie wanted to do something on a beautiful day, so she thought of taking a ride through the Lake Champlain Islands. Camera in tow, I went along.
We ended up in Isle La Motte, and Margie wanted to go to St. Anne's Shrine. The FFW Band had played a concert there back when we were in high school, and Margie had never been back.
Glad I went. Religious significance, yes, but historical ones, too.

I apologize for not getting better pictures. I took these with my iPhone. It was a very busy night.
Mother Nature did us in Sunday night for the 25th Annual Pie and Ice Cream Social, as rain moved in and we had to move INSIDE.
A great crowd was on hand as the pie servers continuously served pie for a good 50 minutes to an hour.
Thank you to the Masons and the United Church for letting us use the building.
Thank you to those that helped set up and tear down-Al Daniels, Bob and Kathy Bessette, Marie Bourdeau, Paul Lavallee, Chris Ross, Wayne and Sally Sweet, Barb Duvall, among others.
Thank you to our pie servers-Bob and Kathy Bessette and Margie Cain. You really have it down to a science.
Thank you to Al Daniels for serving ice cream. Great job as always.
Thank you to Paul Lavallee for serving drinks.
Thank you to Elaine Kirkpatrick and Sally Sweet for running the cash box.
Thank you to everyone who made pies. I heard alot of compliments on the pies.
Thank you to Jeff and Aaron Minor and Minor's Country Store for helping supply the ice cream.
Thank you to the Fairfax-Fletcher-Westford Band. You have been there for all 25 years. You people sounded fantastic last night.
And finally...
Thank you to everyone who came. You really seemed to enjoy yourselves. Some people sat downstairs and ate, and conversed. Some stayed upstairs and listened to the band. Some braved the drizzle and stood out under the tree and were engaged in lively conversation. That is what the night is for.
To anyone I may have forgotten or missed, I sincerely apologize.
See you next year. Fairfax-Fletcher-Westford Band Some of the crowd listening to the band. Some people hung out outside. Our pie servers-Margie Cain, Kathy Bessette, Bob Bessette Margie Cain serving a piece of pie to Paul Lavallee.
