Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson) was discovering that marriage with Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) delivered all the opulence of a successful entrepreneur’s life…and diminished none of the erotic charge from their still-torrid physical relationship.

Final chapter of the E.L James trilogy also stars Marcia Gay Harden, Rita Ora.
Batman and allies Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, Red Robin, Alfred, and Catwoman are transported to ancient Japan thanks to Gorilla Grodd’s time displacement machine.

Action-packed animated adventure features the voices of Roger Craig Smith, Tony Hale, Grey Griffin, Tara Strong, Will Friedle.
At Honeywell State Prison, the inmates are lingerie-clad beauties held captive to the whims of a lesbian warden and her sadistic guards.

Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Denholm Elliott, Jon Pertwee, and Ingrid Pitt star.
A compelling examination of the artist’s drive to create, director Jacques Rivette’s acclaimed drama stars Michel Piccoli as Edouard Frenhofer, a once-renowned painter worn down by years of inactivity, and the beautiful Emmanuelle Béart as Marianne, the young woman who becomes his model and muse, inspiring him to pick up palette and brush once again. Based on a short story by Honoré de Balzac, this modern French classic co-stars Jane Birkin, Marianne Denicourt.
A cabal of seven crimelords thought they had the numbers to bring Hawaii under their dominion.
