Check your trans fluid and condition, this sounds like you're a qt or two low.
Check that and come back with the results, and we can go from there.

Nate..please see this post from earlier today. Here you tell someone that rolling on a hill w/o a brake is normal.

If you release the brakes and are not using the throttle, the torque converter is may not be spinning fast enough to hold the car on a good incline.
Try holding the brake lightly with your left foot and adding a little throttle in these situations and letting up the brake as the car holds itself and begins to move in reverse.

this seems pretty obvious...every car i have ever been in does this....its just that there is no torque being put on the wheels and we are talking about a 3500+ lb car...it even says what to do in my DMV drivers handbook.yeah just hold the brake apply the throttle, when you feel it pull, release the brake and so fourth..simple

If you're on level ground, and you put it in reverse, you have to give it a lot of gas to get it to move?
Either way, check the fluiid, often over looked, and cheap insurance. I dunno about you, but i'd much rather spend a few bux on a qt of trans fluid vs a few grand on a trans rebuild
