Fifty Shades of Grey

Will the cinematic interpretation of Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele and their perpetual S&M romp live up to the original piece of erotica that made E.L. James more money than the entire country of Sri Lanka? There are millions of housewives—and terrified husbands—who are eager to find out. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson, whose most recent film Nowhere Boy—an underrated biopic focusing on John Lennon’s early years—says the infamous “tampon sex scene” was never even discussed as to whether or not it would make it into the film, especially after Universal refused to even consider the film if it received an NC-17 rating. Rated R. At Lighthouse Cinemas
