Fifty Shades Of Grey50 Shades Of Grey poster

Finally! It hits the big screen! S&M has never looked more slick and lovely (at least, going by the trailer) as gauche journalist Dakota Johnson (Mel Griffith and Don Johnson’s little girl) enters into a kinky relationship with mysterious billionaire Jamie Dornan. Artist Sam Taylor-Wood (whose only other film credits are Nowhere Boy and nabbing a much younger man, Aaron Johnson, as her second hubby) was an interesting choice to direct, so it remains to be seen what she makes out of E.L. James’ mammoth bestseller, derided by the critics as ‘Mummy Porn’. Needless to say, I have my ticket booked!
