Movie Review: FIFTY SHADES FREED

FIFTY SHADES FREED Director: James Foley Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Eric Johnson, Luke Grimes, Rita Ora, Brant Daugherty, Eloise Mumford, Tyler Hoechlin It’s all come down to this. The conclusion of a trilogy that has left us on the edge of our seat wondering how it will all end is finally here. This statement is legitimately true for some viewers who have devoured the book series by EL James soaking in the kinky romance between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. For me, I’m wondering what else could happen to give this story some life. Fifty Shades Freed opens with the wedding of the centuryRead More →

Movie Review: FIFTY SHADES DARKER

FIFTY SHADES DARKER Director: James Foley Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Marcia Gay Harden, Kim Basinger, Eric Johnson, Bella Heathcote, Luke Grimes, Eloise Mumford, Rita Ora Fify Shades Darker? More like Fifty Shade More Boring. When we last saw Anastasia “Ana” Steele (Johnson) and Christian Grey (Dornan), they had broken up as Christian’s domineering ways were too much for Ana to handle. She’s only slightly moved on and is working for a publishing company. He desperately wants her back so he tries to win her over by buying her dozens of roses and several large photographs of her at a gallery showing. They meet forRead More →

Movie Review: BLACK MASS

BLACK MASS Director: Scott Cooper Starring: Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, Kevin Bacon, Peter Sarsgaard, Rory Cochrane, Dakota Johnson, Adam Scott, Corey Stoll Black Mass is the intriguing true story of James “Whitey” Bulger (Depp) who was known as one of the most violent and dangerous gangsters in South Boston. The film spans twenty years from 1975-1995 when Whitey was working as an informant to the FBI. Throughout that time he was working closely with John Connolly (Edgerton), a childhood friend turned FBI agent, in order to bring down the Angiulo family. They were an Italian family of gangsters who were rivalsRead More →

Movie Review: FIFTY SHADES OF GREY

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Marcia Gay Harden, Eloise Mumford, Luke Grimes, Jennifer Ehle Bite that lip, Ana! You’ll notice very early on that the biting of the lip is just one of Anastasia Steele’s (Johnson) trademark mannerisms. She is young and very innocent. She heads off to Grey Enterprises to interview entrepreneur Christian Grey (Dornan) for her roommate Kate (Mumford) who is out sick. Ana is taken by surprise by how good-looking he is and mumbles through a majority of the questions Kate had prepared. He is instantly attracted to her as well. His dashing bachelor mindsetRead More →

Movie Trailer: FIFTY SHADES OF GREY

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson Starring: Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Ehle, Marcia Gay Harden, Rita Ora, Luke Grimes, Max Martini I’m pretty sure that if you have never heard of the book Fifty Shades of Grey, you are probably living under a rock. Maybe that’s harsh, but that little book known as “mommy porn” became an international bestseller and was talked about to death. It was only time before they rushed the movie version into production. Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson (Don and Melanie’s daughter) were cast as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, respectively. The first trailer was released today on TheRead More →
