money ball

Raise your hand if you have heard of any of the movies nominated for an Academy Award. Ok,I'll give you Money Ball. But that had Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, unfair. Name more than three. Thought so. Seems like every year that the Oscar Nominations come out, they are devoid of movies people  actually want to go see. Why don't the popcorn movies ever get nominated?

Seventeen years after its initial box-office run, ‘The Lion King’ is again reigning supreme. The new 3D incarnation of the film, currently in a limited-engagement run, took in another $22 million to land atop the charts for the second weekend in a row. Here at Jack we've also taken a look at the other movies topping the charts this past weekend.

Could ‘Moneyball’ be Brad Pitt’s ticket to the Oscars? On Thursday, Columbia released the trailer for the highly anticipated adaptation of Michael Lewis’ ‘Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game,’ in which Pitt plays Oakland A’s GM Billy Beane, a man who used sabermetric principles to boost his team’s winning record on a tight budget.
