Fifty shades of wine and cheese

WHY not take in a movie and help out the Proserpine Junior Soccer Club at the same time?

For the price of entry to the much anticipated Fifty Shades Darker, punters will receive two glasses of wine plus a selection of cheese served on a platter with tea, coffee and sweet slices thrown in.

What more could movie goers want?

Fifty Shades Darker begins with Anastasia receiving an extravagant bunch of white roses, and a note wishing her well on her first day at work as a publishing assistant.

She goes to throw the flowers in the bin, but hesitates.

They're from Christian, the man she broke up with at the first film's conclusion, after he'd beaten her red and raw, and she'd decided she couldn't handle his sadism. But she's still in love with him. But he's still a sadist. So what will they do?

Having eluded the central and very interesting question of this unequal relationship, the film then throws multiple external threats into the mix, as if it knows the couple itself is now boring.

There's Ana's sexually harassing boss, Christian's deranged gun-toting ex-girlfriend and his abusive first love, the Mrs Robinson character who originally turned him on to whips and chains. Imdb.com.
