Fifty Shades of Grey Review
Fifty Shades of Grey Review
Note to self: if you watch Fifty Shades of Grey with a couple of your single male friends,
you’ve hit rock bottom. That being said, I went to watch the erotic romance
without any prior knowledge of the book’s story, so I wasn’t weighed down by
any fan boy expectations. All I had to go by was that this was a highly erotic
film with BDSM as its theme.

Movie Poll: Black James Bond
A friend of mine recently mused about the idea of an African
American or black actor playing James Bond, since thus far, over 23 movies, you
may have noticed that all the James Bond characters were white. 2 names at the
top of that list happen to be Denzel Washington and Idris Elba. Washington
become a candidate during an AMA Reddit session where he expressed interest in
the role, and then came along a Twitter trend #DenzelIsJamesBond to promote the
actor’s bid for the role. My friend came up with Idris Elba’s name and Elba,
too, has spoken on the matter, saying that he hates the term Black Bond, but
that isn’t going to stop people from speculating about his involvement in the
franchise. Who do you think is ideal for the role? I'd go with Elba, because he's British and is much younger compared to Washington.
