Film: Moneyball, Thor

Along with Drive, I think Moneyball is one of the best movies of the year. They do an incredible job with flashbacks - a normally inelegant device if you ask me - but it works perfectly in this character study. I see similarities in the three Sorkin projects - Charlie Wilson's War, The Social Network, and Moneyball. All three are character studies of incredible successful people driven by elusive personal demons. I thought Moneyball was a better film than social network. Less preening dialog. More emotional. Less movie of the week structure.

Thor was watchable, but not good. It always amazes me how these awesome fighting machines fail to master the one thing that may give them victory: aim.
