Are you guys excited to see The Vow? I’ve heard some of my friends say they’re hesitant because all “these type” of movies end the same way. Well here’s the gist with The Vow: A man and his wife get into a horrible car accident, she wakes up with amnesia and he has to make her fall in love with him again. Sounds like The Notebook, right? But it does have Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. That alone makes it worth a trip to the movies. And I hear the movie ends in a way that we wouldn’t quite expect. Since I haven’t seen it yet, I can only guess about how things turn out. Here are a few possible scenarios I’ve come up with.
1. The Bourne Vow. Rachel McAdams’ character doesn’t remember any of her past life, but she has badass fighting skills and multiple fake identities, a la The Bourne Identity. She sets off on an epic quest to take down the corrupt government agency that trained and then abandoned her. This leaves Channing Tatum confused but strangely aroused. Read More »

I’m a dancer, so you can bet that the second anyone starts to dance in a movie, I’m paying attention. Sometimes I go on YouTube binges where I spend hours and hours looking at dance videos. But I don’t just enjoy watching videos of professional dancers onstage – I love movie dance scenes, too. And believe it or not, great dancing pops up in unexpected places. Sure, Dirty Dancing and Center Stage have big group dances. But do you remember the dance scene in (500) Days of Summer? Check out these videos of some of the best movie dance moments. Read More »

I’m originally from Jackson Hole, WY – one of the coldest, snowiest places in the country. But even though blizzards there are as commonplace as rats in a subway station, I never had a single snow day growing up. Why, you ask? Because when it snows all the time, it’s nothing special, and school just goes on. But I always wanted a snow day so, so badly.
In honor of my childhood dream, here’s a list of movies for the perfect snow day marathon. I recommend combining this list of comedies, thrillers, and childhood flashbacks with some hot chocolate and a cute cuddle partner!

New Year’s Eve is seriously THE most overrated holiday of the year. Valentine’s Day is the day that all lazy boyfriends have to get up off their asses and remind their girlfriends why they should stick around, and Halloween is the night to dress up like someone else and make out with someone whose face you don’t ever really want to see. So why celebrate NYE?

If you’re looking for a way to spend time with family members without actually interacting with them, do as you did on those dates back in high school: go to a movie. There are plenty of feel-good flicks conveniently released for the holiday season; bond with your little brother while watching The Adventures of Tintin or fill out an entire row in front of Matt Damon and ScarJo in We Bought A Zoo. Too many opinions? Tickets to the movie with too many plot lines, please — New Year’s Eve!

Oh, god. Who needs yet another romantic comedy the world? Is it seriously necessary to make every member the single girl society feel horrible about themselves and feed today’s tweens with more unrealistic expectations about love?
Well, The Five-Year Engagement stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt. And it’s from the same filmmakers that enlightened us all with Bridesmaids, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Knocked Up. I take back everything I just said—this movie is completely necessary. Read More »

Between Harry Potter, Bridesmaids, and what will now be known as the Ryan Gosling 2011 Breakout Year Film Collection, this was a phenomenal year for the movies. I laughed, I cried, and I regretted buying a $6 soda all at the movie theater this year. There aren’t many other places that can take you on such an emotional roller coaster in just one year. (But really, $6 for a small soda!?)
And now the year is over and it’s time for reflective blog posts and 9 billion lists summing up the year by cateogory (spoiler alert: CollegeCandy will be indulging in some of these end of year lists. Stay tuned!).
So let’s kick it off with the 26 Best Movies of 2011. How many have you seen?

Breaking Dawn came out on Thursday night and in it’s four-day span in the box office, it’s already earned $140 million. Now, I know Twilight is really awesome to Twilight fans, and I used to be one. But I simply can’t bear seeing Kristen Stewart be awkward anymore, and it still bums me out that Robert Pattinson has forgotten his Harry Potter roots. I’m not judging anyone for seeing Breaking Dawn because I did it for all of the Harry Potter movies, and I’ve spent a lot of money on that franchise. I started to wonder what I could do with all of that cash if I hadn’t spent it on seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 like six times. In 3D. With popcorn.
Here are some things that we could do with the money from Breaking Dawn Ticket Sales:
