 Director: Jonathan Levine Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anjelica Huston, Anna Kendrick Certificate: 15 “I think I’m going to throw up.” That’s the response to the news that Adam (Gordon Levitt), a 27-year-old public service radio worker, has cancer. Not from Adam, you understand, but from his friend, Kyle (Rogen). “What are your odds?” “50/50.” “Hey, that’s not that bad. If you were a casino game, you’d have the best odds!” You might not think that Seth Rogen is the right guy to produce a comedy about cancer, but you’d be wrong: this is heartfelt and hilarious stuff.

 Director: Bill Condon Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner Certificate: 12A Trailer After David Slade's solid Eclipse, The Twilight Saga begins to climax in Part 1 of Breaking Dawn, Stephenie Meyer's bonkers conclusion to her furry, fanged love triangle. A divisive book even among fans, Bill Condon's adaptation was always bound to draw snide jokes from the blokes in the room - a shame, as Meyer's central premise (a relationship between the living and undead) is a classic trope of the genre and one that, in its best moments, has all the poignancy and tension of Tomas Alfredson's mature Let the Right One In. Filtered through the haze of hormonal teen romance, of course.

Were you upset when George Clooney ran away from London? The bright side is that he gave us more time ask questions to some other cool people: director Jason Reitman (who did Juno and Thank You for Smoking), and Clooney's co-stars Vera Fargima and Anna Kendrick...
Up in the Air is based on a book. If I'd read it, would I recognize it in the film?
JR: Yes and no. The book is about a man who fires people for a living, a man who obsessively collects air miles but if I had directed the book exactly as it was, these lovely ladies wouldn’t be here because they're not in the book. I use the book as a toolbox - there’s a story that I want to tell and I’m looking for the right words. In this case I took a main character, I liked his occupation, I liked his life philosophy, and from there I built a plot around it to ask the questions I wanted to ask.
