50/50 When we first saw the trailer for the film 50/50 starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogan‚ we knew this was a must-see.

Adam demonstrated true optimism and showed the audience that

Assignment: _Write a review of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice film‚ (seen in class) comment on the cast‚ music‚ setting‚ wardrobe etc._ Generally speaking film adaptations of classic novels rarely ever prove superior or a match for the books on which they are based.
