50 Shades of Grey

Ok, I'll admit it, I was intrigued so I started reading "50 Shades of Grey." It sparked so much controversy I wanted to know what the big deal was! Like so many of the books that it is being compared to (Twightlight, Hunger Games, etc) the writing is far from stellar, but the plot line sucks you in! I definitely agree with the reviews that compare the relationship between Ana and Christian to that of Bella and Edward in Twighlight. Now that I'm forcing myself to get through book number 3 (is it just me or did the writing get worse as the series progressed?!)  I can't help but think of how great of a movie this is going to make, my inner goddess does back flips at the thought of it (gag me). My sister and I always share our thoughts on who should play the characters. Some of our thoughts were:

Christian -Ryan Gosling, Chris Pine, Armie Hamer

Ana -Lily Collins, or as much as I hate to admit it, Kristen Stewart

Mrs. Robinson - Ellen Barkin

Kate- Emma Stone

Elliot - Jake Gyllenhall (Laters, baby)



I like this article on the Frisky.com, they had some great choices as well (except for their picks of Megan Fox and Paz). http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-03-19/casting-fifty-shades-of-grey-with-actors-we-wish-would-do-gratuitous-hardcore-sex-on-screen/
