CANDY is a Neil Armfield film of Luke Davies' novel, starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish. It's a small, indie Australian film. I mentioned this in my Promote entry, but I thought I'd post it here as well...the more folks we can get on board with our CANDY obsession, the better the chance we'll all have to actually see the movie! While I am a huge Jake fan, I am also a dedicated Heath fan. I am an asst. admin. at www.heathledgercentral.com and I am working with the Addicted to the Movie Candy group to promote Heath's latest movie, Candy, and hopefully get it into wide release. You can learn all about ATTMC at our blog - www.addictedtothemoviecandy.com and forum (the forum is linked through the blog). I do the blog - I'm ~CandyFans Also, for those Heath fans among us, he is currently signed on to do two films: "I'm Not There" - based on Bob Dylan's life and music, and "Dirt Music" - based on Tim Winton's novel.

It is an AWESOME ready, jla! It is dark, funny at times, and so very true to life.....
And the reviews the movie has been getting are great - many say Heath is even better than he was in BBM.... I really hope we can get the movie into wide release so we can all see it in theaters!

Oh, I adore the trailer of Candy!!! I can't wait for the release! Heath is very different from Jake, but They do have something important in common: they chose great scripts. The project of the movie about Bod Dylan's life sounds fantastic.

I just saw Candy - and my god was Heath good in it! It's a very powerful movie, really tragic, sad but full of love and I liked it very much. Both Heath and Abbie Cornish who played his girlfriend (Candy) were nothing but spectacular. I strongly recommend this movie. My admiration for Heath has only grown bigger and in my book this performance is up there with his performance in Brokeback Mountain. Wonderful!!

I am same as phoebe, ignorant of "Candy" theatrical release in Europe, although if you have liked it so much, cina, it will be worthy awaiting longer.

Heath occupies a special place in my affection. He's the "Knight in Shining Armor"!

Candy started last week in theaters here in Germany, so I saw it on Tuesday. I really loved the story, it was dark, tragic , sad, and even funny at times. Excellent performances from both Heath and Abbie Cornish. Geoffry Rush was great, too, although underused.
Go and see it if you can. I highly recommend it.

I also saw “Candy” staring Heath Ledger, Abbie Cornish and Geoffrey Rush a few days ago. I was really looking forward to see it and it turned out to be absolutely marvellous. Ledger and Cornish did such a wonderful job portraying two young people in an disturbing, heartrending story about drugs and what consequences they can have. This intense story is supported by beautiful pictures, a catching atmosphere and a great soundtrack. I left the cinema being devastated. I can highly recomment this movie, one of the best I’ve seen this year, and to me it’s another proof that Heath Ledger has become one of the best young actors we have at the moment. I hope many people will sign the petition organized by the Addicted To The Movie Candy Group to get a wide release for this wonderful movie. www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/105731078
