“Elemental” REVIEW
Fifty Shades Hits Its Climax
The Erotic love story based on the book by E.L James is coming to theaters this weekend in anticipation for Valentine’s Day as it nearly matched its previous chapter with 5.7 million in Thursday previews.
In the thrilling conclusion, the story picks up where Fifty Shades Darker left with Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan) officially tying the knot and now the fun comes, trying to act like a married couple. In the midst of Christian Grey’s million dollar business empire, Anastasia doesn’t want to stay home and Christian agrees to her keeping her publishing job with a few improvisations, that of body-guard service. Meanwhile, the couple’s relationship is threatened by Jack (Eric Johnson) who wants Ana for himself, however we soon realize that is not the only reason as dark secrets about Christian’s adoption and foster care begin to emerge. That along with the stunning conclusion of a not so surprising pregnancy is enough to keep viewers on the edge of their seats in this stunning conclusion.
At one hour forty-five minute run time, Fifty Shades Freed is a traditional love story with a slight erotic twist. It will entertain viewers and fans of the novel alike as it follows the book fairly closely from start to finish, though it may not be for everyone, viewer discretion is strongly advised as it is rated “R”, for language and graphic nudity.
That aside, there is a good storyline that will keep one entertained. See it in a theater near you.
“Love” Still Possible
Pantelion Films brings the possibility of love to the big screens on what is recorded to be a wet weekend for So Cal, as a handful of patrons came out to see the bilingual romance comedy.
“Everybody Loves Somebody“, stars Karla Souza as Clara, a successful doctor who has everything except love, but when her parents decide to finally get married nearly forty years later, and she is her mom’s bridesmaid, she has a problem, no boyfriend. Quickly she invites her friend at Los Angeles Children’s hospital, Asher (played by Ben O’Toole), to go with her as her boyfriend, not realizing that there is a deeper connection, especially when her ex boyfriend, Daniel (played by Jose Maria Yazpik) shows up to crash the party. Now it’s a question of whether Clara will let Daniel back in or is she ready to find “new” love with Asher?
Set in both Los Angeles and Baja, California, “Everybody Loves Somebody” is a traditional tale of what happens when old flames meet new flames, but with a slight twist, that of mixing Spanish dialogue with English, though most of the film is entirely Spanish, it holds true to the way families of mixed race speak to one another, from the humorous banter to the heartfelt talks that take place among siblings about the important matters.
“Everybody Loves Somebody” came out February 17, and due to its language barrier is not expected to beat out some of the big name films like The Batman Lego Movie, which is projected to take number one for the second week, according to box office mojo. That being said, it’s a great movie to see if you want a love comedy with a twist.
See it in a theater near you. It’s completely worth it.
