Dealing with the sensitive subject of cancer in a respectful and honest manner can be a very difficult task but 50/50 succeeds in this surprisingly uplifting comedy drama.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as 27 year old Adam, a radio programme writer who is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Learning he has a 50/50 chance of survival, Adam tries to come to terms with his diagnosis with the help of his best friend (Seth Rogen), self-centred girlfriend (Bryce Dallas-Howard) overbearing mother (Anjelica Huston) and an inexperienced psychiatrist played by Anna Kendrick. Fans of Rogen's previous films will not be disappointed as he brings his usual deadpan humour and crass comic style to the storyline; while Levitt's portrayal of the everyday hero deservedly earns the audience's sympathy. The cast in general is strong with quality supporting performances from Kendrick and Huston in their respective roles. The film is inspired by script writer's Will Reiser's battle with cancer and takes an interesting positive approach to illness. Throughout his struggle, Adam begins to appreciate the most important things in life, especially those which he previously took for granted. Overall, 50/50 is a story about friendship, love, survival and finding humour in unlikely places. A must see film that deals with a difficult subject.

EVENING PERFORMANCE- Concessional ticket (£7)
Set during WW1, Viola after her brother Sebastian are reported missing during one of his naval operations pretends to be a boy in order to sign up for the War efforts, with the help of a retired naval captain. Masquerading as a petty officer named Cesario, she enters the service of Orsino, an Admiral stationed in England. Orsino has convinced himself that he is in love with the bereaved Olivia, who lost both her father and brother recently in the War, and who will have nothing to do with any suitors such as Orsino. Orsino decides to use 'Cesario; as a liaison to convey his love to Olivia. Believing Viola to be a man, Olivia falls in love with 'him'. Viola in turn falls in love with Orsino, who believes Viola is a man, and who therefore treats her as his confidant, and so the comedy of errors begins.

While Director Martin Scorsese is primarily known for his highly successful gangster films, his surprising choice to make his first family film has turned out to be a charming and delightful fable. It was adapted from the novel "the invention of Hugo Cabret" and much of the film focuses on the invention of cinema. Hugo's story has interesting parallels to the director's own life and the way it focuses partially on the preservation of old films in particular makes this a project he has close personal ties to.
The film is set in 1930's Paris where Hugo is a crafty Dickensian orphan living in secret tunnels and passageways in a railway station and spending his time tinkering with machinery, repairing a 19th century automaton. And being chased by a malicious station manager. Hugo then meets an old man who runs a shop in the station doing mechanical repairs and his 12 year old god daughter Isabelle. As the film progresses Hugo and Isabelle take a journey into a mysterious past. For film fans the way the history of cinema is shown here will be very interesting to watch and it is particularly nice to see a CGI heavy film include as a character the man who originally invented special effects. The bright children who star in this film are very different to the usual fare of goofy kids in family films and make this an impressively enchanting fantasy.
The BIGGEST event of the RAG calendar is fast approaching! Saturday week 5 is RAG parade; the day when students from every college dress up in costumes and take to the streets of York with RAG buckets.

After the horrors and destruction of World War 1, England is in disarray. When there are reported sightings of a ghost child at a local mansion turned boarding school, hoax-exposé Florence Cathcart must discover the truth. Florence Cathcart, played by Rebecca Hall, gives an excellent performance as the plucky yet vulnerable protagonist whose psyche unravels along with the story line. With supporting roles of war veteran-come-schoolmaster Robert Mallery (Dominic West) and matron, Maud Hill (Imelda Staunton) the film is superbly cast, with the performances of these actors being the real pinnacle of The Awakening. The film comes to a head when the presumed 'missing' people start to reappear and Cathcart must continue to solve the problem whilst holding onto her own sanity. She closes her eyes to her previously enlightened state and awakens in a lost world of apparition and superstition, becoming acutely aware of her own loneliness. Each character's solitude and sadness draws them closer together but ultimately leaves them isolated. The Awakening is a beautifully mounted ghost story, with some mind-bending twists which capture an air of suspense perfectly. A classic British thriller.

Williams shines in this BBC film adaption of Monroe's notorious spell of work with Laurence Olivier, who is captured to snobbish perfection by Kenneth Branaugh. Monroe's charm and vivacity ensnare the young and ambitious Colin Clark, who is conveyed as warm and irritating in equal measures by Eddie Redmayne. Through their developing relationship, Marilyn's dark struggle with substance abuse and depression become subtly yet shockingly apparent. Although vaguely reminiscent of a Sunday evening drama, My Week with Marilyn is a moving and polished piece. With additional appeal provided by appearances from Emma Watson, Dominic Cooper and national treasure Dame Judi Dench, this is a highly watchable and captivating film.

A, B and C, with the help of 1, 2, 3 and 4, explore what makes up identity, the inner turmoil between loving and hating yourself, how memories shape you, the context of this generation and how everyday life is a performance.
There are parts to make you laugh, to make you cry, to make you uncomfortable, and to make you think. I know you don't know who I am, but I've bared my soul, the least you could do is come and watch.
Join us in the barn to explore the deep, emotional, awkward, hilarious and sometimes dark world of identity and experience a never-before-performed play before anyone else.

Moneyball is the story of how Oakland athletics' manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) changed how players were picked to put together a winning team despite having the lowest salary cap in baseball. Traditionally a baseball coach would choose which players to draft based on intuition and experience, here Beane uses the knowledge of recent Yale graduate Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) to replace this method by using statistics to identify undervalued players and put together a great team on a budget. It works so well that in reality many teams with higher budgets eventually started using the same techniques and the Oakland a's started losing again.
This is not a typical sports film and it almost seems like a stretch to describe it as a sports film at all. None of the players are important characters and instead of being a series of big games this film only shows people playing at crucial moments. This is really a film about business and the way it affects the lives of those involved in it. This films main benefit is having the involvement of two great screenwriters Aaron Sorkin (the Social Network) and Steven Zaillian (Gangs of New York). As in the Social network, complex dialogue gives abstract conversations emotional undertones and the humour comes more from a sense of ironic recognition than from deliberate one liners. All of this adds up to a melancholy but moving film.

This year the Beverage Festival will take place on Thursday the 23rd of February, two days before the Food Fiesta, in James Dining Hall, from 8.30 PM to 11 PM.
On that note, we can also not allow alcohol above 40% ABV. Some stronger alcohol around 45-50 should be allowed. The goal of the event is to show other cultures the variety of beverages from your country.

This term, rather than a muddy hike on the moors, we are taking a trip to the Yorkshire Scuplture Park on Sunday 26 February.
The coach will leave at 9am from the layby behind Janet Baker Court and return about 5pm.
YSP (http://www.ysp.co.uk/) is a fascinating place with an exciting range of large scupltures in extensive grounds with a number of small inside
galleries.
You are free to wander the grounds as you please but a group of us will
tour the perimeter which takes in a number of scupltures that have been
incorporated into the landscape and the Longside Gallery. The walk is about 5km and ends back at the centre where there is a cafe, restaurant and shop.The restaurant has a good menu and some fine food for a reasonable price
(http://www.ysp.co.uk/page/restaurant-menu/tc).
The grounds can be muddy if it is wet so sensible footwear is recommended so is a camera.
There is no charge for the trip and to book a place please e-mail sarah.hay@york.ac.uk to book your place on the coach. Partners and family members are welcome too.
"I've got a new rule for you mate, it's called survival of the fittest, it's called F*** you we're the Riot Club."
In an oak-panelled room in Oxford, ten young bloods with cut glass vowels and deep pockets are meeting, intent on restoring their right to rule. Members of an elite student dining society, the boys are bunkering down for a wild night of debauchery, decadence and bloody good wine. But this isn't the last huzzah: they're planning a takeover. Welcome to the Riot Club.
Described by What's On Stage as "Scabrously funny, disgustingly smug, and deeply disturbing...the play of the year so far", this promises to be a must see production. It's second ever performance by an amateur company, this play is as up to date and as pertinent as it gets. So join us in The Barn to witness what promises to be one of our biggest productions to date in this award winning play.
Fri/Sat/Sun Week 7

William Shakespeare as you have never seen him performed before.
This drama is classified as a comedy play by William Shakespeare. However it is also referred to as a 'problem play', because it cannot be easily described as either a tragedy or comedy. The story of the plot centres on Angelo who has been empowered by the Duke of Vienna to rule his land, whilst he wanders about disguised as a friar to investigate the moral decay of his dukedom. Resorting to an old law against fornication to enforce his strict standards of morality, Angelo proceeds to condemn fornicators to death. One of these fornicators is Claudio, a young man who has had pre-marital sex with his fianc
In this sequel to the action oriented take on Sherlock Holmes, The titular detective and Doctor Watson take on their greatest enemy, Professor Moriarty. This film has been eagerly anticipated for a while due to the number of sequel hooks in the first film (lots of shots of Moriarty with shadows covering his face) and is even bigger than the original.
Moriarty poses such a grave threat because he is Holmes' intellectual equal and he must be engaged in a complex game of deductive one-upmanship as the criminal mastermind's plot unfolds. First the crown prince of Austria is found dead and the evidence points to suicide. Holmes however sees the death as a murder that is part of Moriarty's web of death and destruction that threatens to change the course of history.
This type of large scale action adventure epic is one of the best types of film to see on the big screen and the special effects will not disappoint you here. Robert Downey Junior brings the same arrogant and amusing Sherlock Holmes present in the last film to great effect and the whole film is a very exciting thrill ride. A must see if you're looking to some exciting escapist fun.
Admission: 3 pounds

Perhaps one of the most ambitious and anticipated films of the past year, The Iron Lady portrays Britain's most notorious Prime Minister as surprisingly fragile in this time-shifting piece. Directed by Phyllida Lloyd, Meryl Streep gives a performance that is both captivating and frighteningly believable. We view Thatcher in her current elderly state, reflecting on the career and life that made her infamous. With saddening hallucinations of her husband (Jim Broadbent) peppering her declining mental state, we begin to see the humanity of the woman, as opposed to the monster most frequently depicted. Olivia Coleman gives an equally polished and often humorous portrayal of Thatcher's long-suffering daughter, which deepens the film's appeal further. Despite being somewhat disappointingly apolitical, with the focus falling on the contemporary Thatcher rather than her dynamic younger self, The Iron Lady is without doubt a beautifully shot film, bolstered by Oscar-worthy acting and a stunning soundtrack, indebted to Lloyd's experience in Opera. Another piece to be proud of from the UK Film Council, and certainly worth a watch.

The latest instalment of the 1960s TV show gone star-studded series of blockbusters is one of the most gripping and fast-paced films of the year. It will captivate fans of the previous films as well as newcomers to the Mission Impossible franchise, with not only a thrillingly clever sleight-of-hand storyline, but also scenery and stunts to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. With standout performances from Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton, the quick dialogue and mind-bending stunts will reel you in as we witness Ethan Huntt's team get framed for a terrorist bombing plot, a mission which takes them to Budapest, Moscow, Dubai and Mumbai. The IMF extracts Hunt (Cruise) from imprisonment in Moscow to infiltrate the Kremlin's archives regarding an IMF agent's killer's client, code-named 'Cobalt'. During this, a bomb destroys the Kremlin and the blame is laid upon Hunt's team. They must clear their names as well as track down 'Cobalt', with the help of intelligence analyst Brandt (Renner). The action comes thick and fast, but artistically directed by Brad Bird we see the Mission Impossible film series become a real cinematographic work of art. This is a must-see on the big screen.

Two of Harold Pinter's late plays, Moonlight and Celebration, the first of his works to be staged in the Barn since his death in 2008.
These plays explore such typical Pinter themes as fear of the outsider, sexual jealousy, self-betrayal and the failure of communication, but offer new angles also, showing Pinter at his most energetic and humorous. Moonlight is a contemplative study of memory, loss and longing, in which a dying patriarch attempts to gather his family to his bedside. Set in an upmarket restaurant, Celebration is a fast-paced and foul-mouthed take on the innate sleaziness of high society.
Pinter is regarded amongst many as one of the greatest playwrights of our time, so join us in The Barn to celebrate his late work in this double bill world premiere.
Fri/Sat/Sun Week 9
Tickets also available from Vanburgh Stalls 12.00 - 14.00 Wednesday to Friday Week 9 or on the door.

Michael Morpurgo's stunning tale War Horse will be brought to us on the big screen in 2012, in the very capable hands of director Steven Spielberg. Spanning across the backdrop of the English countryside and of Europe, we experience the First World War from the young man Albert's perspective, as his supreme and touching friendship blossoms with his horse Joey, whom he must tame and train for war. Following their heart-wrenching separation, Joey ploughs through the war bringing inspiration and change to all those he comes across, from German soldiers to local French families. With the story reaching its peak in No Man's Land, this is an epic journey peppered with sorrow, adventure, joy and wonder. Arguably one of the greatest and most successful works of modern storytelling, War Horse is a beautiful portrayal of the power of both friendship and war. Following the popularity of the recent theatre adaption, this film is likewise truly exceptional. Another triumph from one of the best directors of our age. This will be a fantastic end to YSC's Spring term.
