Fifty Shades of Grey Steams It Up on Blu-ray

Fifty Shades of GreyI think I’m actually one of the very few critics out there who didn’t hate Fifty Shades of Grey.  Sure I’m not a big fan of the novel of the same name, but the film adaptation doesn’t stray much at all so what you see on the pages is literally what you see on the screen.  I can get behind that, but I don’t understand all the haters out there.  Nonetheless, I’m my own man, confident and sometimes strong.  LOL.  So ladies (I’ll leave the gentlemen out of this one), get ready to scream as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are coming home to Blu-ray HD on May 8th.  If you don’t believe me, check out the full press release below from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
