Everything Must Go
Imagine if everything that could possibly go wrong in your life, does so in a single day? This is Nick's mid-life crisis. He loses his job (fired by a younger boss, too!), gets home only to find all his possessions on the front lawn and his wife has kicked him out. What is a man to do? Nick (Will Ferrell) decides to booze it up and camp outside with all his life's possessions, of course.
Along the way he becomes friends with a lonely boy, reconnects with an old high school mate and builds a relationship with a helpful new neighbour. I am not a Will Ferrell fan, but his portrayal of Nick will leave you thinking "aw..." for days after watching it. All together now: "Aw..."

Anonymous
Did some anonymous writer actually pen all of William Shakespeare's plays, sonnets and poems? If you're a conspiracy theorist, perhaps. If not, you're still likely to find the proposition rather interesting.
This dramatic and gripping film gives us the story in fascinating detail, and is anything but boring. Filled with villains, backstabbing, beheadings and other wonderfully gothic transgressions, the movie offers a lot more than a simple hypothesis.

50/50
Yes this movie is about a clean-living 27-year-old who discovers he has cancer and, consequently, a 50/50 chance at survival, but it's not all tears and morbidity. Instead it's one of those films that's more about living and dying well.
Played beautifully by one of my favourite actors - Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Adam battles his emotions, his family and his friends while trying to come to terms with his mortality. Flanked by Seth Rogan as his fun-loving friend, as well as Anna Kendrick, this is one of those movies that will have you laughing and crying all at once. Tender and genuine, it's a winner.
