ABC

Fifty Shades of Grey

Focus Features

By Haide Hernandez

Fifty Shades of Grey, the 2011 erotic romance novel that sold more than 100 million copies, is set to hit theaters Feb.14. The movie follows the manipulative, sex driven relationship of billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele.

Although the movie has not been released it is already breaking record ticket sales and has made January the best month for box offices since Nov. 2013, according to Fandango.

Empire

By Jose Servin

Empire, Fox’s latest hit drama, mixes King Lear with hip-hop, portraying the music industry as a ruthless battleground. The show is centered on Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), an ex-drug dealer turned rap mogul, and three sons fighting for their father’s place as head of Empire Records.

With its strong music score produced by Timbaland and exciting story, Empire is more than just a cliché rap drama.

Jennifer Niven
