Nice Clean Up

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2015)

50 Shades is known for the "sex", but it actually has a good storyline. I enjoyed the way the movie was "cleaned up" so that the story shined brighter than the sex scenes. Speaking of sex scenes, I thought they were done tastefully (considering this movie was based on an erotic novel.) I've seen MUCH worse on the big screen....i.e. Unfaithful starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane and more recently Addicted starring Boris Kadjoe and Sharon Little. I have to admit that I was very disappointed when they cast Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, but I WAS WRONG!!! They did a great job! After seeing Dakota Johnson and hearing her voice in the film, she was the perfect pick for Ana....she looked and SOUNDED so sweet and innocent. WELL DONE! I can't wait for the sequels
