A New Angle
With a script by Oscar Winner Aaron Sorkin, Moneyball stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland Athletics. Since his team has roughly 1/3 the budget of better financed teams, Beane is losing his star players to baseball clubs who can pay them more, and his scouts are focused on finding their next superstar player. Beane has a different approach-- he hires a Yale grad (Jonah Hill) with an economics degree who looks into players statistics and finds game-winning players that other scouts ignore. Fighting the new plan every step of the way, the team's manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman) thinks Billy's lost his mind and refuses to apply the new strategies, but, over time, Billy Beane's unconventional approach to baseball has become the stuff of legend. With Chris Pratt, Stephen Bishop, and Robin Wright. On DVD and Blu-Ray.Vera Farmiga directs and stars in Higher Ground, playing Corinne Briggs, a young woman drawn into an evangelical Christian community.

With Nina Arianda. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
