With the impending departure of star players Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi, and Jason Isringhausen to free agency, Beane attempts to devise a strategy for assembling a competitive team for 2002 but struggles to overcome Oakland's limited player payroll. During a visit to the Cleveland Indians, Beane meets Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a young Yale economics graduate with radical ideas about how to assess players' value.Beane tests Brand's theory by asking whether he would have drafted him (out of high school), Beane having been a Major League player before becoming general manager. Though scouts considered Beane a phenomenal player, his career in the Major Leagues was disappointing. After some prodding, Brand admits that he would not have drafted him until the ninth round and that Beane should probably have accepted a scholarship to Stanford instead. Sensing opportunity, Beane hires Brand as the Athletics' assistant general manager.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">Specialists of the Regional Development Agency &quot;Donbass&quot; in their training work with members of the territorial communities, use watching movies on the subject.

Rory's dynamic and rebellious nature soon sparks a flame in Michael, introducing him to the wider world outside of Carrigmore.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="justify"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><img style="margin-right: 10px" title="" alt="" src= http://ard.dn.ua/"http://ard.dn.ua/images/stories/22_films/8.png" border="null" height="180" width="124" align="left" /> </font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="4">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="4"><strong>The Bucket List</strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">Mechanic Carter Chambers and billionaire hospital magnate Edward Cole meet for the first time in the hospital after both have been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Although Edward is reluctant to share a room with Carter, complaining that he &quot;looks half-dead already,&quot; they become friends as they undergo their respective treatments. Carter is a gifted amateur historian and family man who had wanted to become a history professor in his youth, had been &quot;black, broke, [and with a] baby on the way&quot; and, thus, never rose above his status as a mechanic at the McCreath body shop. Carter loves showing off his knowledge and his favorite show is Jeopardy!. Edward is a four-time divorced health-care tycoon and cultured loner who enjoys nothing more than tormenting his personal valet/servant, Thomas, who later reveals his name is actually Matthew. Edward prefers to call him Thomas because he finds the name Matthew too &quot;biblical.&quot; Edward drinks a specific variety of coffee called &quot;Kopi Luwak&quot;, one of the most expensive coffees in the world.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="justify"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><img style="margin-right: 10px" title="" alt="" src= http://ard.dn.ua/"http://ard.dn.ua/images/stories/22_films/9.png" border="null" height="180" width="124" align="left" /> </font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="4">&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="left"><strong><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="4">Pay It Forward</font></strong></p> <p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="3">When 11?-year-old Trevor McKinney (Osment) begins seventh grade in Las Vegas, Nevada, his social studies teacher Eugene Simonet (Spacey) gives the class an assignment to devise and put into action a plan that will change the world for the better.

With the impending departure of star players Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi, and Jason Isringhausen to free agency, Beane attempts to devise a strategy for assembling a competitive team for 2002 but struggles to overcome Oakland's limited player payroll. During a visit to the Cleveland Indians, Beane meets Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a young Yale economics graduate with radical ideas about how to assess players' value.Beane tests Brand's theory by asking whether he would have drafted him (out of high school), Beane having been a Major League player before becoming general manager. Though scouts considered Beane a phenomenal player, his career in the Major Leagues was disappointing. After some prodding, Brand admits that he would not have drafted him until the ninth round and that Beane should probably have accepted a scholarship to Stanford instead. Sensing opportunity, Beane hires Brand as the Athletics' assistant general manager.</font></p>
