Curious about the song the girl sings in Moneyball?

ByStarcasm Staff

Brad Pitt’s new movie Moneyball (based on Michael Lewis’ nonfiction book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game) is getting Oscar Buzz and is Box Office Gold. The movie is artfully crafted and fascinates both baseball fans, and people who hate sports. At the heart it’s not really about sports, it’s about solving problems against formidable opposition, and being brave to fight to make a change in the world when you believe enough in the truth of something.

But the person who truly stole the movie (at least several parts of the movie) was 13-year-old Kerris Dorsey and her rendition of Lenka’s “The Show.

FBI uses Daytime TV, Facebook, and girlfriend to find fugitive, Whitey Bulger

ByRuby Turpin

Although it sounds something like the plot of last year’s Johnny Depp/Angelina Jolie film, The Tourist, there’s nothing fictional about the FBI’s new strategy for warming up their cold case against Boston mobster, Whitey Bulger. Instead of going straight for Bulger, the FBI is focusing on his girlfriend, Catherine Elizabeth Grieg, who they think might not be in as deep a cover as Bulger and who they hope will lead them to the alleged big bad himself. (The 2006 Martin Scorcese film, The Departed, owes much to Bulger’s story.)
