The Dollar Theater now costs $2.65 on Saturday night. And Cinemark Movies 6 was really as nice as any theater I've been to recently. New seats, not too crowded for these non-family friendly movies. I think that if you wait to see a movie there, you really want to see it before it goes down the video/PPV hole.
Disclosure - I read the book, liked the book. There was not that much shocking in it. And the film version follows. Christian Grey is a rich, successful, good-looking young man. He finds a young, inexperienced college student Ana (Dakota Johnson) and a glamorous courtship ensues. But when he discloses his secret desires, she tells him of a situation which he sets about to remedy.
Modern day courtship ensues by way of contract negotiation. The boardroom scene is a good one. And that dress! - a Pretty Woman moment.
Some of the sexual spanking is a bit over the top. But the regular sex? Very welcome in a time when sex is scrubbed out of mainstream movies (women wearing tops in bed, butt shots of men). The nudity is a welcome change. Everything old is new again.
