[We're back with another edition of G.W.W.E. (Guys We Wanna Eff)! This week, join me in drooling over one sexy seasoned sweetie, Harrison Ford.]
As far as men go, few come as manly as Harrison Ford. The legendary actor has starred in two epic sagas (as Hans Solo in Star Wars and as the title character in the Indiana Jones series), playing some of cinema’s favorite alpha-male roles with grit and wry humor. I’ve seen him stare death in the face more times than I can count, and his iron resolve is just about the sexiest effing thing in the galaxy.
But while Harrison has been a bona-fide movie star for over 30 years, no film of his could ever compare to his gold-standard portrayal of the Commander in Chief in Air Force One. If I had to estimate, I would say I’ve seen AFO over 20 times. The film has it all: cheesy dialogue, crazed Russian political zealots, fighter jets, and my boy Harrison grunting, “Get off my plane!” while choking a villain to death (auto-erotic asphyxiation, anyone?). I honestly began dating someone in high school because we both loved Air Force One. Seriously. (The boyfriend and I parted ways, but I still love ol’ Harry.) Read More »

With Indiana Jones waving at me at least once a day from billboards or the radio or the TV, it’s clear that the season of summer blockbusters is upon us.
Usually, I don’t want to see any of the summer blockbusters. The fact that I want to see a handful is pretty amazing. See, I’m not really a movie person. My girlfriend is, and we tend to clash; she loves to watch two or three movies in a day, when that’s usually my ratio for the week.
And then, when we do agree, there’s the fact that there are some movies that no matter how popular they are, I just don’t like them. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of flak for this countdown list, but here are some of the movies that everyone seems to love that I just am not overly fond of.
10. 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now, this is on the top of the list because I really DID enjoy it, up until Hal…well, you’ll know when you see it, if you haven’t already. The movie pretty much lost all interest to me after that. I stopped being concerned about David and totally fell asleep during the outrageously long trip sequence. In fact, it always puts me to sleep, so maybe I should buy a copy just to have on hand when the insomnia hits.
9. Pirates of the Caribbean. Now, hold on before you jump down my neck. I adored the first Pirates, and it’s definitely on my list of favorite movies. But the sequels bored and kind of irked me.
8. Saving Private Ryan. I’m not saying it’s not a GOOD movie. I just didn’t enjoy it. I think maybe it was because when it came out, I was at the age that a movie that started the way SPR did was not something I could handle. Now I’m totally okay with it, but not enough for me to voluntarily add it to my Netflix Queue or anything. Read More »

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 »

I love a terrible chick flick as much as the next girl, but sometimes you need a night with the boys to have a quality cinematic experience. Below, I’ve listed some movies my guys have endorsed or introduced me to, and hope you love them as much as we do:
Swingers. “You’re so money, baby, and you don’t even know it!” And it’s so, so true. Guys are just as bad as girls when encouraging their friends to hook up, and you can appreciate the other side of the story, as well as a young Vince Vaughn and Ron Livingston (from Office Space!).
Rounders. Mmmm Matt Damon and Edward Norton. My guy roommates used to play online poker for a ‘living,’ like so many other young men these days, and nothing seemed more awesome than a movie about poker. Also, part of me believes that all men share our love for Matt and Ed.
High Fidelity. Another movie about a guy’s girlfriend breaking up with him, and John Cusack’s adorableness is just another perk. This is one of my absolute favorites and I hope to marry a Rob Gordon-esque character someday.
Grandma’s Boy. I am ashamed to own this/cannot help but think of how I watched this at least a hundred times senior year with my boy roommates. One roommate always fell into hysterics during the Dance Dance Revolution scene, and I can’t watch it without laughing myself to tears thinking about it. Read More »

It seems as though every new season brings with it a slew of new embarrassing naked pictures or grainy sex tapes. Spring has sprung, quite literally, with the release of Sex and the City star Kristen Davis’ naughty pictures and The Hills’ Audrina Patridge’s naked photos and the probably fake dirty video of Lindsey Lohan . None of it is quite High School Musical scandalous… in fact, it’s all rather disappointing.
Here are some sex tapes I’d like to see:

Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood
Oh wait, they’ve already made one and called it a music video. On second thought, I’m okay with never watching that again. Read More »

Through the years, I’ve slept with a lot more people in my mind than I’ve slept with in the physical sense. Actually, the latter number would be zero, but that’s not the point. The point is…in my mind, I’ve been with some of Hollywood’s finest. And yeah, I’ve had my memorable moments, but let’s face it: if Indiana Jones forgets your name and is out of town 90% of the time, can you honestly say he’s boyfriend material?
Here’s the lowdown on all the hotties I’ve mentally massaged:
Indiana Jones: Indy makes his love much like you might describe him: rough and dirty. Holy cow, he sure is good in bed, but it’s a little weird that he never takes that fedora off. He also doesn’t seem to care much about protection (I think he fed me a line like, “Where do you think I’m going to get a condom? CVS?”), and he never calls in the morning… probably because he seems to think my name is “Veronica.”
Nick Carter: The baby face of the Backstreet Boys is pretty inexperienced, and it shows. When you’re sleeping with Nick, you smile because he’s just so darn cute, but there’s also a part of you that wants to hightail it out of there as soon as possible. Yeah, it always seems like a good idea at first, but most often I find myself snaking through the piles of video games to get out of his room at 5 in the morning. Read More »

Transformers. Yeah, I watched the cartoon. I was a child of the 80’s and I had a younger brother! We watched it all: Transformers, Thunder Cats (someday I’ll have to talk about how odd this show seems now…I mean, cat people? In spandex?), GI Joe. When I wasn’t playing with My Little Ponies, I was watching boy cartoons.
Which is why I’m slightly excited about Michael Bay’s giant Transformers movie. I can’t tell you if I’ll actually see it in the theaters, but its nostalgia. Nostalgia of the 80’s. Everyone loves them some good nostalgia.
Of course, being 24, there might be one more reason I’m interested in a movie about robots that turn into cars. And that reason might be Hollywood’s new It Kid, Shia LaBeouf.
The strangely adorable LaBeouf began his acting career on Even Stevens, a Disney show that was actually pretty funny, and soon graduated to bigger movies like Holes and this spring’s Disturbia (some of you indie flick lovers may also have seen him in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, a film that made me cry relentlessly for twenty minutes).
These days, Shia is making huge movies like Transformers and the newest installment of Indiana Jones, but no matter the film’s budget, always seems to carry with him a mature sense of character. He’s a great actor, and everyone seems to be noticing.
What about you, lovelies? Is Shia your new It Guy…or just some guy?
