The Top 10 Movies Of 2011: Mack's ListThis list started as an unfilled Word document saying “Best Movies” on January 1st , and it ended with over one hundred films that have been obsessively tweaked.

The Top 10 Movies Of 2011: Eric's ListAs both a film critic and reporter, I have to sit through a lot of terrible movies. This year I spent hours of my life watching movies like New Year’s Eve, Spy Kids: All The Time in the World, Abduction and Waiting For Forever. But it’s the good movies that make it all worth it, and this year there were some truly brilliant films in release. But among those great titles, what were my favorites? Well…...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-30 15:51:53comments

Photoshopped 50/50 Poster Says Absolutely Nothing About Cancer, The MovieMarketing always was going to be the greatest challenge, the uphill battle, facing Jonathan Levine’s 50/50. Once the dramedy received the designation of being “the cancer comedy,” it didn’t matter how many reviews sang the praises of the ensemble (virtually everyone’s fantastic) or the power of Will Reiser’s personal screenplay, all audiences would think about standing at the ticket counter was The Big C. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-10-18 16:07:08comments
A Final Plea For 50/50: See It Because It'll Make You StrongerUnlike any other kind of cancer movie you’ve ever sat through, you’ll walk out of 50/50 less afraid of the disease than you were when you came in. Not because the film makes it seem any less horrible than it is, but because 50/50 makes it clear that no matter how bad the cancer is, you can be stronger. ...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-10-06 17:35:27comments
Weekend Box Office: No One Wins When Hollywood Tanks This BadlyAmerica took one look at the new offerings in movie theaters this weekend and passed, instead heading straight for the leftovers table. Despite four brand spanking new options hitting screens it was last weekend's top three who remained on top. After two weekends at number one, The Lion King traded places with last week's number three entry Dolphin Tale....by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-10-02 18:20:53comments
50/50 Getting Warm Viewer ResponseAs anyone who follows Hollywood box office figures knows, the divide between critical acclaim and warm public reception is often very vast. Michael Bay has bought a lot of houses on the back of that conundrum, but here’s why 50/50 is a fascinating case. Moviegoers actually seem to be loving it. ...by Mack Rawden | published: 2011-10-01 15:26:33comments
What's Your Number? May Be Weekend's Biggest FailureThe early numbers are in and it’s turning into a bad weekend for nearly everything being released by Hollywood. Three new movies opened this weekend in wide release: Dream House, What’s Your Number?, and 50/50. While all three movies have received very different reactions from critics and audiences, all three are headed for instant failure at the box office....by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-10-01 13:56:34comments
Great Debate: Does 50/50 Actually Have A Shot At Winning Oscars?Now normally when you get a movie released in the fall about a main character who gets cancer, and when the critics falling all over themselves to praise it, you get oodles and oodles of Oscar buzz. But 50/50, a drama with heavy doses of comedy related to drugs, girls and other tawdry things that interest 20-something males, isn't exactly the kind of movie that automatically gets invited to the big awards show...by Katey Rich and Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-09-28 08:58:16comments
This Rotten Week: Predicting 50/50, Dream House And What's Your Number ReviewsThe Rotten Watch is coming off a stunningly terrible week and looking for a little rebound. It got ugly around here.

Exclusive Interview: 50/50 Director Jonathan LevineIf you’re not already excited to see Jonathan Levine’s 50/50, you need to remedy that problem right now. Though the film won’t be released until September 30th, I was invited to go to a very early screening back in April and I was absolutely floored by it. Everything about it, from its blend of drama and humor to the performances by the entire cast, is stunning and last week I was given the chance to talk with the filmmaker on the phone about the upcoming release....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-08-26 17:57:53comments

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Shaves His Head In Three New Stills From 50/50Last week we posted the first trailer for 50/50 and I couldn't sing the movie's praises loud enough. It is easily the best film that I've seen thus far in 2011 and, though it's still early, it'll be a challenge for any other title the rest of the year to surpass it. ...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-05-30 22:27:21comments

Seth Rogen's Cancer Comedy Retitled 50/50, Set For September 30 ReleaseIt was hard to predict a release strategy for the film, given that it's a drama with comedic overtones-- always hard to market-- and stars Rogen and Gordon-Levitt, both of them successful in various ensemble films but not necessarily up to the task of carrying movies on their own. The Green Hornet's remarkable $200 million worldwide gross probably gave the studio a lot more faith in Rogen...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-02-18 09:15:07comments
