The fall’s first big Oscar hopeful, Moneyball, arrives in theaters today.  Originally set to be directed by Steven Soderbergh, the movie instead bears the imprint of Bennett Miller, best known as the director of Capote.  I’m sad that we’ll never get a chance to see what Soderbergh planned to do with the material, but the movie Miller produced is pretty good on its own terms.  Read my review at TWoP as well as the rest of this week’s content, including my detailed analysis of the Prime Suspect pilot.
