Fifty Shades of Grey

Rating 3 out of 10

I have not read the book that this movie is based on.  I know somehow the book steamed up the shorts of many middle aged women.  I never understood why and after seeing this movie I understand even less.

In case you have been under a rock I'll explain the best I can the plot of the movie.  When Anastasia Steel's journalism major roommate comes down sick before a big interview with hunky billionaire Christian Grey Anastasia graciously steps in to do the interview for her.  She is clearly out of her league with the businessman yet Christian is intrigued with the mousy young virgin.  He begins to court Anastasia with all his charm and money.  Fancy dinners.  Helicopter rides.  Amazing penthouse apartment in downtown Seattle.

There is just one problem.  Hunky Christian is a sadistic controlling bastard that gets his rocks off by whipping and torturing women.  His sights are set on sweet Anastasia.  He shows her his torture room full of whips, restraints and other such fun toys.  Any woman with an ounce of sense would have run far away at that time.  She is interested.  He starts off slow and nice.  Then his true colors start to show.  I have known many woman in my life.  Never once have I met one I thought would enjoy being strapped to the kitchen table and beat with a leather belt making her count the swings.

This goon needs to be in jail.  I don't understand the draw to this tale at all.

Here is a youtube.com review on the movie that I tend to agree with.
