I have to finish the story...
You are Alan wake, a world famous author struggling with a severe case of writers block.
Agreeing to take a vacation away from it all, you arrive at your location and quickly discover that it's a ploy, an attempt at getting you back into the writer's chair and finish your book.... A book that you have no recollection of starting to begin with.

As things quickly take a dark turn, a small town and its residents begin to change, becoming possessed with only one objective - to kill Alan Wake!

A mix of I am alive and alone in the dark, Alan wake serves up a deeply physiological factor that has you question the characters own sanity.

A dark tale of survival indeed.

"Half the Sky depicts, in eye-opening detail, the various cultures and customs that suppress women and gives a voice to those individuals who need to be heard the most. Traversing through Africa and Asia, Kristof and WuDunn introduce us to some incredibly strong women and describe their stories of suffering and survival. Most importantly, the book spotlights how these women were able to stand up and transform their lives and, through their inspiring examples, we learn that the key to enabling change and economic growth is in unleashing women’s potential (the title of the book, after all, comes from the ancient Chinese proverb, ‘Women hold up half the sky’). Kristof and WuDunn dare us, as readers, to join the cause and Half the Sky shows us how, by doing even a very small amount, we each have the power to change other women’s lives."

After suffering for a while with back pain and night sweats, 27 year old Adam goes to the doctors and discovers he has a rare form of cancer with only a 50% chance of survival. This is a story of how he tries to come to terms with his diagnosis. There's happiness, sadness and of course struggles. It shows the reality of how having cancer can affect not only you but those around you too, including the harsh reality of a loved one walking away because they can't handle it.
The movie was enjoyable for the most part, but I do think they should have just kept it as a drama only, rather than try to make it a comedy too. Joseph Gordon Levitt did a fantastic job, but I felt seth rogens scenes needed toning down, they were too full on for this kind of movie.
