*I received the Fifty Shades DVD plus other promotional items for review. All my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*
If you have not seen Fifty Shades of Grey yet, now is your time because it is now available on DVD! I was a 50 Greys book fan but I was not really sure how the books would translate to make a movie. After some contemplation I decided to give it a go (hey the movies are never better than the books) but I have to say that this movie most certainly was as good as the books. I thoroughly enjoyed how they put this movie together and it was better than I ever expected!
Synopsis:
The worldwide phenomenon comes to life in Fifty Shades of Grey, starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in the iconic roles of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. Ana is an inexperienced college student tasked with interviewing enigmatic billionaire Christian Grey. But what starts as business quickly becomes an unconventional romance. Swept up in Christian’s glamorous lifestyle, Ana soon finds another side to him as she discovers his secrets and explores her own dark desires. What results is a thrilling, all-consuming romance as Christian and Ana test the limits they will go to for their relationship.
