The Sun Shines Out of Our Behinds: Five Hot Films That Will Warm Up Your Winter (It's Coming)

Yes folks, winter really is coming and what better way is there to warm up than with sex and action? Action sex? Sex, action, then more sex? Whatever the combination, when this winter’s cold weather threatens to shrivel your private parts, get ye to the theater and preheat that hot action in your lap—either with a tub of warm, buttery popcorn or your favorite partner’s be-gloved hand. I mean, if you have to you can “self-warm,” but I think we all know…a second petter is better. And with that little scenario in mind, here are the Top Five Films that’ll have you shouting (quietly, with your inside-mind voice), “Fire in the hole!” (or…er…the pistol, whatever the case may be.)

5. Haywire Directed by Steven Soderbergh (Contagion, The Informant!), starring Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender. In theaters January 20, 2012.

What’s hot: Kickass female operative (killing machine) (not Angelina Jolie) is set up by her own people and left for dead. She’s pissed and out for revenge. Weapons and hot men abound.

Check it:

4. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In), starring Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Hurt. In theaters December 9, 2011.

What’s hot: Hot spy men spying. So many hot men spying. An affair with a hot, Russian female spy. It’s all hot.

Spy this:

3. A Dangerous Method Directed by David Cronenberg (Eastern Promises, A History of Violence), starring Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, Vincent Cassel. In theaters November 23, 2011.

What’s hot: Viggo and Fassbender as Freud and Jung who mess with Keira Knightley’s mind and body as they “give birth to psychoanalysis.” Vincent Cassel watches from the sidelines. Sounds kinky to me.

Analyze this:

2. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Directed by David Fincher (The Social Network, Zodiac), starring Daniel Craig, Stellan SkarsgÄrd, Christopher Plummer, Rooney Mara. In theaters December 21, 2011.

What’s hot: Lisbeth Salander gets a makeover and a much hotter co-worker in Daniel Craig. This one’s going to be seriously dark and full of action; the 100 mph remake of an all-too-dull adaptation of the thrilling novel.

Feel it:

1. Shame Directed by Steve McQueen (Hunger, starring Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan, James Badge Dale. In theaters early 2012.

What’s hot: Michael Fassbender as a sex addict. Sign me up! His visiting sister (Carey Mulligan) puts a damper on the whole compulsive/spontaneity thing. (Just come to my place.) Quickies Hijinks ensue?

Here’s the first clip:



Cindy Davis might already be sitting in a theater, waiting.

That's a whole lot of Fassbender.

I was going to say the same thing. He's in everything! Nearly. I think there may be some bias going on here...

Posted by: Carrie at September 22, 2011 11:50 AM

ME LIKEY.

Posted by: Mel C. at September 22, 2011 11:53 AM

Yeah. Are we sure JRob didn't actually write this one?

Also, does anyone else think that Fassbender looks so much like (a young, obviously) Christopher Plummer that it's fucking insane??

Which director is the one that screams at people ( Lily Tomlin) David Fincher or David Russell?

Posted by: kirbyjay at September 22, 2011 12:09 PM

Well, Fassbender is in a lot (3 of the above)... the picture under Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is really old and slightly misleading (Tom Hardy replaced him, and Fiennes isn't in it either)...

Posted by: dg at September 22, 2011 12:10 PM

A whole lot of Fassbender is a definite good thing.

Although the pictures you have up for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is two fifth wrong. He who shall not be named Fassy aren't in it.

and...

I was missing an end.
and dg beat me by 2 minutes :)

Tinker, Tailor, solider,spy is already out in the UK, if anyone needs to know (i.e. anyone in Britain th at doesn't know already)

Posted by: cockroach at September 22, 2011 12:18 PM

Fassbender is amazing and that clip from "Shame" should feel wrong but instead is hot.

Posted by: d at September 22, 2011 12:27 PM

Well, I thought the clip from "Shame" felt wrong. VERY wrong.

Posted by: jimbob at September 22, 2011 12:38 PM

So Fassbender is in three of them, and in a picture for one of them, but not actually in it?

I am mildly disappointed that in the fact that the names were correct and the picture was wrong. I'll take Fassbender over Hardy, please.

Posted by: DominaNefret at September 22, 2011 1:30 PM

@kirbyjay - That'd be Russell.

Posted by: Bert at September 22, 2011 1:45 PM

@ d & jimbob: well that answers the question 'bout whether or not to watch
the trailer here at work. Thanks!

Posted by: Ms MoMo at September 22, 2011 1:50 PM

I really can't wait to see Shame, because the reviews I've read have been glowing. Apparently it's very, very dark and heavy. Like, a punch in the gut level of dark and heavy. So while a movie about Fassbender as a sex addict sounds like a fun 2 hours, it will probably be a very depressing movie going experience.

American Lisbeth = SO not hot. More like creepy kiddie porn. Yicky....

Tinker Soldier Sailor Spy on the other hand seems like smart lady porn. So sayeth this smart lady anyway.

Posted by: Alexis@TroublesomeTots at September 22, 2011 2:50 PM

Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Hurt


hhhhhhnnnnnngggggg

I would watch that group do pretty much anything, but pretending to be spies is good. Plus I really liked the BBC miniseries.

Posted by: Jules at September 22, 2011 3:33 PM

Hot dudes in interesting movies. Me likey.

Needs more color, though. This is an awfully pasty lineup. I guess Spike Lee needs to make another crime thriller.

Posted by: Slash at September 22, 2011 3:49 PM

As a straight male, even I understand the appeal of Fassbender. One of those actors that I wish I could be like. He has great screen appeal. Very rare.

I think he would be a great Bond bad guy. Basically a better Bond.

Posted by: Sean at September 22, 2011 4:02 PM

Other than the nitpick about the lack of flava in the casting, all of these look pretty damn good.

Posted by: Slash at September 22, 2011 4:23 PM

American Lisbeth = SO not hot. More like creepy kiddie porn

It should be like that. The insinuation in the source material is that she's raped and molested by her parole officer because he regularly victimizes the minors he oversees. Many of the characters in the books react or are perceived as predators to her because of her child-like size.

Posted by: idiosynchronic at September 22, 2011 4:30 PM

Wow, Fassbender is in everyyything!

Posted by: noonoo at September 22, 2011 4:45 PM

It's a Fassbender filled summer! I can't wait!

[Sigh] Fassy... I am so there!!

I saw 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' last night, which is quite excellent and warrants a second viewing to take it all in...

Besides the amazing cinematography and acting happening in spades, you get to be dazzled by several hot men in some finely tailored suits.

I kept getting distracted from the plot by all the man-in-a-suit action.

Plus, they all keep smiling and winking at each other knowingly throughout the film about super spy secret stuff and what not. It's hard not to get the wrong idea at times...

And tho he wasn't in a suit much, Mr. Hardy (that was obvs coming from the start, I mean why else thrown in such a fine specimen of comparative youth into the mix?) just managed to make those tight 70s high-waist-ed jeans work.

Listen up, Fassbender! I've been watching you for a long time, and I've been waiting for this kind of ascendance, so now that it's happening you better not fucking squander it, you hear me?!

Motherfucker, you better stick around.

And don't choose bad parts.

And don't be ubiquitous either. For now it's fine, but mellow out.

Posted by: zeke the pig at September 23, 2011 8:35 AM

The screamer is David O. Russell.

You can't be named Steve McQueen if you're not Steve McQueen.

If there's a third Fassbender story today I'll burn down Dustin's house.

Posted by: Jay at September 23, 2011 9:15 AM

Samantha, me too! I totally see Capt. Von Trapp first every time, and then it registers as Michael Fassbender. Especially in his uniform in Inglorious Basterds.

Posted by: shibuyama at September 23, 2011 7:14 PM

I love the Fass. Bring on the winter.
