This weekend’s releases: Fifty Shades turns up the heat

It’s Friday the 13th and if you’re not superstitious enough to stay indoors, grab your pre-Valentine’s Day date and head to a theatre near you.

When naive college student Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) finds herself enticed by handsome young entrepreneur Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and his mysteriously charismatic ways, she finds herself tied up in a not-so-conventional relationship.
