If you missed the following films last year, the good news is that many of them are on DVD already, or will be soon. So check out what you missed at the cinema, add it your Netflix Queue, and have a 2008 movie night before you get backed up with the upcoming flicks of 2009!
1. The Dark Knight.
It’s a sad irony that Heath Ledger steals the show, after the film got so much publicity following the young actor’s death. Heath Ledger’s death made millions of people flock to the movie, but the truth is, it’s actually effing good. Ledger looks like a lock for a posthumous Oscar as well. Only time will tell.
2. Wall-E
Tell me you weren’t rooting for Wall-E and Eve, and I’ll tell you you have no soul. This cute, witty, futuristic animated tale was a favorite among audiences of all ages.
3. Cloverfield
With an innovative marketing strategy – remember those bizarre commercials guised as pleading cable interruptions? Cloverfield kept us on the edge of our seats and brought the “monster movie” genre to another level with its documentary-style cinematic techniques. Think Godzilla meets Blair Witch.
4. Gone Baby Gone
Ben Affleck’s latest screenplay, starring brother Casey Affleck, Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris has all the makings of a blockbuster: A-list author, lustworthy lead, and two powerhouse Hollywood phenoms. Did I mention the suspense and the action? Read More »
Nina Hartley is an extremely successful adult film star with 650 different video appearances under her belt. I asked her to give me some of her wise wisdom about sex, relationships, and everything in between.
Action movies aren’t notoriously known as “movies for women,” they typically have a special place in a man’s heart. Hence the whole movie genre known as Chick Flicks, which are made just for the ladies. But, there is something about James Bond movies that cross the gender line. I love Bond movies, I have seen them all, and my anticipation for each new movie’s opening is ridiculous.
Today, after all my waiting and agony, the newest installment of James Bond hits the theatres and I’m ready to sit on the edge of my seat and bite my nails. It isn’t just the action and adventure that I love in these movies (usually I’m not one for stupid, over-the-top action movies) but it is everything that accompanies a Bond movie: the oh-so-hot 007 himself, the music, Bond’s gadgets, his cool cars, the Bond girls and their fashion, the mystery, and all the adventure. They are amazing.
To celebrate the opening of Quantum of Solace, College Candy wanted to recap on the hot men who made us lust after Bond, James Bond.
The new James Bond flick “Quantum of Solace” (a name we still completely don’t understand) is set to hit theaters in November, but the Alicia Keys / Jack White theme song “Another Way to Die” has just crashed the Internet — and we’ve got it. Take a look, take a listen, and let us know what you think.
Personally, we have a bit of an issue with the way their voices sound together, kind of screechy in parts, but overall, we like the interesting pairing.
…As long as you can ignore the fact that Jack White looks like an 80-year-old man.
James Bond. I used to not care. Then Daniel Craig took over. And I cared.
Forget that the title of the second installment of the updated Bond franchise makes little to no sense (at least to people like me), and mark your calendars for October 31, 2008 -- the date when Quantum of Solace premieres (seriously..I wikipediaed "quantum" and it has something to do with energy and momentum and photons...so like, the "indivisible entity of a quantity of solace"?).
Anyhoo, the main reason most of us probably want to see this movie is because Craig is guaranteed to be bare-chested a lot and if we pray really hard - naked. He was naked in the last one. Who cared that he was being tortured while being naked? All I saw were Craig abs.
If you can't wait until October to get your Craig fix, here's the new trailer for Quantum. It seems complicated. I'm not sure what they're talking about. But Judy Dench is there again! And 007 is shirtless for 2.5 seconds! Plus, the James Bond music is all badass in the background.
PS: In case you're wondering, the full on abs shot is at 1:35. Christmas in July, baby.
If you missed the following films last year, the good news is that many of them are on DVD already, or will be soon. So check out what you missed at the cinema, add it your Netflix Queue, and have a 2008 movie night before you get backed up with the upcoming flicks of 2009!
