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 »

The CollegeCandy Movie Review showcases three newly released Movies and/or DVDs—one for each of our three classifications:

“Best Date Movie”— A great date movie shouldn’t be too much of any one thing. (unless of course you and your date already know of a mutual interest in a certain genre, in which case this classification isn’t really for you). Rest assured that a movie with this classification will not be embarrassingly sexual, overly gory, stupidly juvenile, etc.

“If You Must…”—Most of us have obsessions with something movie-related—movies that we “Must” see. Categories include, marvel comics’, action, eye candy, zombie, horror, chick-flicks, Muppets (my vice), Disney, samurai, Will Farrell, Jack Black, etc.

A movie with an “If You Must…” classification will give you an idea of how much you will suffer (through bad acting, terrible soundtrack, etc) by giving into this “need”.

“Best Movie Ever! Go Watch/Rent It NOW!”— It’s the movie that you want to see over and over, the one you recommend to everyone you know, and can’t wait to get on DVD.
