50/50 Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in this film as a 27-year-old man who finds himself diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. As he struggles with his mortality, his best friend (Seth Rogen) helps him to face the reality of his situation, which is where many of the film's laughs come from. With a powerful performance by Gordon-Levitt, the movie is a huge success, especially considering that it Read more
Boxing robots waged an admirable box office battle this weekend, even defeating a pair of ruthless politicians. Real Steel won the first place at the box office with $27.3 million, while fellow new release, political drama The Ides of March, starring Ryan Gosling and George Clooney, came in second place with a total of $10.4 million. Following them in third place was the previous box office Read more
I guess Dolphin Tale is a true underdog story — the family friendly flick rose to the top in its second weekend out, topping the box office with $14.2 million. Moneyball came in second place with $12.5 million, followed by the former box office champion, The Lion King 3D re-release. New movie 50/50 didn't fare so well; the Seth Rogen/Joseph Gordon-Levitt cancer comedy only got to fourth place Read more
There's a reason marriage vows include the phrase "in sickness and in health." Going through disease, sickness, and death with a significant other isn't easy, but it's the true test of love. I just saw two very different movies that deal with relationships in time of sickness, Restless (out Sept. 16) and 50/50 (out today), and I thought they both handled the tough situation in honest and unique Read more
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen play best friends who tackle cancer together in this week's release 50/50. But does the film strike the right balance between comedy and drama? See for yourself in our video review. Read more
50/50 star Seth Rogen and screenwriter Will Reiser sat down with us to talk about this week's comedy drama about a guy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who gets cancer at a young age. The two friends talked about how they came to make the film (Reiser based it on his own experience with cancer), whether they ever actually tried to pick up girls using Will's illness, and how impressed they were by Read more
50/50 doesn't really deserve the label "cancer comedy," because it's so much more than that. The film finds humor in the realities of an ordeal that's often treated with kid gloves on screen, but how ever many laughs 50/50 finds (and there are many), the script never mocks the subject matter. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Adam, a guy in his late 20s who's otherwise healthy until the day Read more
50/50 writer Will Reiser had a particularly emotional time in Toronto for TIFF, since the heartwarming cancer comedy is also based on his real-life battle with the disease. After receiving a standing ovation from the audience at the premiere, we sat down with Will to talk about what inspired him to translate his story to the big screen with the help of good friend Seth Rogen. Will also revealed Read more
Seth Rogen's cancer comedy 50/50 is a project close to home for the actor, since it's the real life story of his good friend Will Reiser's battle with the disease. We sat down with Seth at the Toronto Film Festival, the morning after the big premiere earned a standing ovation from the audience. No one was more surprised than Seth, who joked that he expects failure. Seth also shared which scene Read more
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance in 50/50 earned rave reviews and a standing ovation at the big Toronto Film Festival premiere last week. We sat down with the star to chat about what it was like working with the real-life person, the movie's writer Will Reiser, on a day-to-day basis. JGL remained pretty tight-lipped about The Dark Knight Rises, which he was coming straight from shooting. He was Read more
