• 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Reviews Lukewarm

    Tomorrow, Feb. 13, "Fifty Shades of Grey" will open in theaters nationwide, and if the plethora of reviews rolling in are any indication, there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans. We already know that in order to snag that R rating the BDSM scenes detailed in the book were going to have to be completely watered down. That means that in order for fans to leave the theater feeling satisfied, the chemistry and connection between Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, who portray Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, better be dead on. Unfortunately, according to all the early lukewarm reviews, it is not there.
  • New 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Trailer Released After Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson Had No Chemistry at Golden Globes

    In about a month, "Fifty Shades of Grey" is finally going to premiere in theaters nationwide and then, after years of speculation, we will finally all know whether or not this movie actually works. There has been so much chatter about every aspect of it — from the casting to whether or not it can possibly live up to the book with an R rating — that the bar has been set extremely high. Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele will really have their work cut out for them. Both actors were on hand to present an award at the Golden Globes last night, Jan. 11. It was a chance to put Dornan and Johnson together in the same place at the same time, to build up a bit of anticipation for the film. If there time together onstage was any indication of how they relate to one another, "Fifty Shades of Grey" might be the most awkward thing to hit theaters this year. Of course, nerves may have been a factor in their presentation, but after hearing that chemistry had been an issue during filming, well, last night it kind of felt like that might be true, and without chemistry this film is going nowhere.
