Before there was Jack Skellington preceding Christmas with nightmares, Billy Bob Thornton giving Santa Claus a bad name, or rare exports maiming innocent reindeer, it was the Grinch who first turned the tables on the festive season, daring to be indifferent (after Scrooge, of course). The first of Dr. Seuss’ acclaimed children’s stories to be adapted to feature [...]
Directed by the excellent Jonathan Levine (The Wackness), 50/50 has been by far one of my favourite films of the year. I got to see the film a little early at this year’s BFI London Film Festival and absolutely loved it. So much so that I went and saw it again when it came out [...]
We originally reviewed as part of our coverage of the London Film Festival this September and you can read Kenji’s take on the film here. As the film is released in UK cinemas today we have another view of the film for you, here’s how Kelly Alyse saw 50/50. If it wasn’t for Seth Rogen’s [...]
Jonathan Levine’s 50/50 is finally on the cusp of hitting the big screen in the UK. America has had it for some time now, and I was lucky enough to catch it last month at the London Film Festival (and thought it deserved every one of the 5 stars I gave it in my review), [...]
Inspired by a true story, 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humour in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis in this new comedy directed by Jonathan Levine based on a script and story by Will Reiser. I [...]
50/50 heads to UK cinemas 25th November and Lionsgate UK have given us this brand new UK TV spot to debut for the movie which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogan, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard and Angelica Huston. Lionsgate UK’s 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humour in unlikely places, [...]
Influential films featuring an all-female cast are surprisingly few and far between, especially such projects that allow the actors to deliver a career-defining punch. Based on the New York Times best-selling debut novel of the same name from Kathryn Stockett, writer/director Tate Taylor takes its subject matter to heart – he and Stockett are childhood [...]
In the past few months, we’ve seen some great things coming out of the upcoming movie, 50/50, led by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. We’ve had some great images from the film, a fantastic new trailer, and most recently an insight into the film in a roundtable with the cast. I was lucky enough to [...]
50/50. Heads or tails. Live or die. At the very young age of just twenty-seven, Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is diagnosed with a rare but operable form of cancer, and this is the survival rate he finds himself facing, his life placed in the hands of cold, hard, unchangeable chance. Fifty per cent beat it, fifty [...]
Last night, London saw the UK premiere of Emma Stone’s new movie, The Help which everyone keeps telling me is amazing. I haven’t seen it yet but the trailers looked fantastic. Our friends from Upbeat were present on the red carpet ready to chat with all and sundry about the new movie which is based [...]
If you’ve missed our coverage of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen’s new movie, 50/50, I highly recommend that you spend a quick minute or two playing catch-up (which you can do here), because this is a movie to get excited about. The film is written by Will Reiser, a long-time friend of Rogen’s, based upon [...]
After first hearing about 50/50, I initially thought that it would be too similar a film to Judd Apatow’s Funny People to stand as its own film, especially given that Seth Rogen stars in both. But when the first trailer arrived back in May, it was immediately apparent how different the films would be, and [...]
Time to comb your hair, fix your slap and tidy your dress shirt as you’re about to meet the characters of Emma Stone’s new film The Help which also stars Jessica Chastain, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, Allison Janney, Chris Lowell, Sissy Spacek, Octavia Spencer, Cicely Tyson, Mike Vogel and is directed by Tate Taylor.

Prepare your face for [...]

Clint Eastwood’s thirty-fourth outing as director sees him reunited with his Invictus star Matt Damon for Oscar nominated screenwriter Peter Morgan’s tale of near-death experience and the curse of psychic abilities.
