Welcome back to the YA Movie News Roundup! Let's do it.
Reviews for Fifty Shades of Grey are mounting up, and they are largely negative, because this movie is silly. Check out FYA's hilarious take here, and BAD's here. This Variety piece is pretty harsh. And Devin has an interesting editorial on how Fifty Shades' objective badness should in no way contribute to the cultural myth that all "women's movies" suck.
And in other Fifty Shades news: remember that ghastly Jamie Dornan cake from last week? The real Jamie Dornan ate it.
Emma Watson and The 100's Jasper are in an Amenabar movie about cults! So is Ethan Hawke, but I'm having trouble finding a YA angle on him.
(Jasper's not in the trailer, but he's credited pretty high on the IMDb page.)

Though I mostly agree with the top 8 or so, this "Definitive Ranking" of characters' importance on Veronica Mars is pretty controversial.
