    Watch As Good As It Gets Now: AAN.SonyPicture...
    Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding, Jr., star in James L. Brooks' hit comedy, AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Nicholson gives a show-stopping performance as Melvin Udall, an obsessive-compulsive novelist with Manhattan's meanest mouth. But when his neighbor Simon is hospitalized, Melvin is forced to babysit Simon's dog. And that unexpected act of kindness, along with waitress Carol Connelly, helps put Melvin back in the human race.

    Sometimes, I feel like I am the only person who misses the talent that was Harold Ramis. As a writer, Harold would sit at a typewriter and spin paper into comedy gold. As a director, Harold made movies that still make me laugh, again and again and again. As an actor, Harold could deliver dry humor like so few can.

      And to that an actor and director that made us all forget life briefly and enjoy the escapism of a great film, and you have a genuinely fantastic man. Such a shame so many like him are taken so early.

    My favorite part of this is when she can't wrap her head around why Melvin would do something so generous to get something so paltry. But Melvin cares more about keeping his routine consistent than the money required to pay for this doctor. As an autistic person, this makes perfect sense to me, but to a neurotypical person it's madness.

      It's a sensitive examination of a case of high functioning ASD. Nicely handled throughout. If you compare it to Rain Man, also a great movie, you can see some of the range that ASD represents and why it's difficult for others to deal with. People on the ASD spectrum neither respond to others, nor do they read others, in ways that are socially understood. Udall has severe OCD and low level Asperger's. This is especially hard for other people because they don't exhibit the obvious signs of disorder. So people just think they're rude, when that's the last thing on their minds.

    Ramis left such a strong impression with every part he played. He was involved in a lot of films that he didn't act in. But each role he played, even when it was just one scene like this, is so unforgettable that it feels like he was in a lot more movies than he was actually. At least it feels that way to me.

    I had to buy a prescription for an elderly woman a few days ago when I was at the pharmacy. She had no money to pay for it.

We love the generosity and open hearts that do this. It's a beautiful thing to see. But unfortunately what I see is just how bad our healthcare system is that people have to beg or pray/wish for a generous person to come along.

She of course first got my attention on "Mad About You." That show is great as it tends to show how good her comedic timing is but she can also play characters that are pretty deep. If you would like to see see her at her best, acting, casting, directing and the whole ball of wax try watching "And Then She Found Me."

Well, when you realize that some of these companies are not in the business of helping you you become tough by force. You document everything because you come to the realization that to some your words mean nothing, some hospitals don’t care and Insurance companies are notoriously evasive.
