It’s no secret that I love Indiana Jones as a person, but I’d like to set my bias aside for a moment. Let’s face it—nobody thinks the new Indiana Jones movie is going to win an Oscar. But should you see it anyway? Yes, yes, and YES! Here’s why:

5. You gotta see it in order to believe what great shape Harrison Ford is in at age 65.

4. Rather than drawing on widely known and overused Biblical mysteries to supply the core of its plot, this Indiana Jones movie deals with a truly unique and very interesting archaeological mystery.

3. Even if you’re not an Indy fan, the movie is incredibly satisfying and really fun to watch. The stunts are hardcore (especially during a remarkable swordfighting scene that takes place in several moving vehicles) and the pace is breakneck. It’s pretty much impossible not to be entertained by this movie. Read More »

The College Candy Movie Review showcases three newly released Movies and/or DVDs—one for each of our three classifications: “Best Date Movie”, “If You Must…” “Best Movie Ever! Go Watch/Rent It NOW!”

Best Date Movie (on DVD)

Cloverfield released 01/18/2008

A going away party abruptly ends when a monster launches an attack on New York City. The movie is told from the perspective of character Hudd’s video camera (think Blair Witch Project) as he and his friends try to escape the monster’s wrath.

No doubt you’ve heard of this movie already—it made massive waves when it hit theaters in January—but perhaps you didn’t realize it’s full potential as a date movie. For starters, watching it as a DVD means that most likely it’ll be just you and your date curled up in front of the screen, in which case a bit of suspense and thrill are definitely pluses. Also, Sci-fi flicks always make great icebreakers—there’s something inherently goofy about the plot no matter how freaky it may be.

In case you really get into it, the DVD also boasts several bonus featurettes, four deleted endings, as well as two alternative endings. Read More »
