My favorite genre of movies is comidies. Some of the best comedies of all time are Spaceballs, Wedding Crashers, Goldmember and What about Bob?, The Producers and any Jim Carey movie.
I also like dramas. Ray is one of the best movies of all time. I also loved Rain Man, As Good as it Gets and The Miracle Worker(Patty Duke and Anne Banecroft put on one of the best acting performances of all-time!) and Cinderella Man.
Another one of my favorite genres of movies is musicals. I love JCS (Jesus Christ Superstar), Godspell (I was in that, I played Jesus), The Producers, Rent and Joseph and the Amazing Techicolor Dream Coat.
The best Reality show is the Apprentice and the Martha Stewart version.The best show on television is Whose Line is it Anyway? and The Office.
The best actors out there are Chris Walken (I need more Cowbell!) and Jack Nicholson, Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti, Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, Cillian Murphy and many more. The funniest people are Jim Carey, Robin Williams, Mike Myers, Steve Carrell and Nathan Lane.
I am also a huge sports fan. I am from Boston and love the Red Sox (BOOO Yankees), Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins. Just as I could talk about movies for a long time, the same goes to sports.

Go see it with an open mind
I have been anticipating this movie ever since I saw the trailer on IMDb like everyone else. When I first saw the trailer, I said to myself, I'm either going to consider this my favorite movies of all-time, or it's going to be trash. Being a huge Beatles fan and owning all their albums on CD, I had huge expectations about the covers of the songs. I saw it with my friend, who is also a huge Beatles fan but not a huge musical fan. Both of us saw it on opening night to the public and to our surprise it was really good! The covers of the songs were actually really good! Now don't get me wrong, the original Beatles songs will always be the best versions but for what they did, they did a pretty decent job. One of my favorite scenes was the "I've Just Seen a Face" bowling alley scene. So creative and fun! Also the "I Want You (She So Heavy) scene was
interesting
but fun to watch. Eddie Izzard's scene as Mr. Kite was hilarious! Both me and my friend where on the floor laughing. Also Bono's scene singing "I Am the Walrus" was great. Don't listen to the critics that say that "it doesn't do the Beatles justice". Actually, it's the opposite. Any hardcore Beatles fan will appreciate all the jokes that were thrown in there. Even if you're not a hardcore Beatles fan, you will appreciate the fantastic love story.
Just one word of advice, go to this with an open mind. Don't expect Oscar-worthy script and dialogue, expect clichés, not a whole lot of character development from the supporting cast but don't let that ruin the movie for you. Appreciate the artistic mind of the director. I mean who cares if they threw in a character like Prudence just to sing Dear Prudence? It's a great song! For all you "I hate every movie that comes out" critics don't see this. It's too artsy for you. Go see this with an open mind not expecting it to win Best Picture for the Oscar. This is one of the best experiences you will have watching a movie. I'm buying the DVD as soon as it comes out. See this movie Beatles fans!!! It does them justice!!!
