If there is anything that people should know about me, is that I'm a movie addict. Ever since I was a kid I've grown up watching movies. You could say that it runs in the family, my mother, father, and sister are all movie-aholics and that has definitely impacted me. I'm that guy who sees about 70% of the movies that are nominated at the academy awards, and the remaining 30% I didn't see get watched almost immediately after the ceremony.
I like all genres, so it's tough to truly pick a favorite. If I had to choose though, the drama/suspense category would be up there. I love movies like Training Day, The Departed, Goodfellas, No Country for Old Men, and Eastern Promises just to name a few. This isn't to say that I don't love other genres just as equally. For example, my favorite movie of all time is a tie between The Matrix and The Dark Knight. After those two films, the line gets blurred and it becomes extremely difficult to pick favorites in order (Lord of the Rings?! Forrest Gump?!).
As far as the past year is concerned, it's been a decent year for films. The two films that stand out the most to me in the past year are 50/50, The Decedents, and especially The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. All three were fantastic and I highly recommend them if you're into movies. Despite my love for movies, I do have other hobbies I swear! Football, basketball, and baseball are all huge in my world as well as music, which has really influenced me. That'll be for next time though. Bye for now!
