The Runaways - 2010

To be honest, I haven't been that excited about movies coming out lately. Well, there was Alice in Wonderland and I guess Avatar was ok but I can't say "Last Song", "Prince of Persia" or "Remember me"(to name a few) have got me pre-ordering tickets. This movie, however, have been on my I-want-it-to-come-out-right-now list since I first heard it was being made (all that noise about Kristen Stewart cutting off her hair). As I do love anything 60ies and 70ies, especially when it comes to music, I was very excited when I finally watched it yesterday in the smallest cinema with only 10 or so other people.

I have to be honest I was a little sceptical about Kristen Stewart. Don't get me wrong, I do love Twilight and New Moon (my guilty pleasure) and I do think she fits the part of Bella perfect, but I still think she has some developing to do as far as acting goes. Dekota Fanning on the other side I never doubted. I have been pretty sure since I first saw her in "I am Sam" that she will be her generation's greatest actor.

Truth? They both were amazing. Kristen playing Joan was, in my opinion, her greatest role so far and it really shows that she has the capacity of great acting. Dekota's performance was equally great. Even their singing was great. Another thing I was curious about was the clothes which didn't dissapoint either. I think The Runaways truly captures the 70ies - in music, fashion and spirit.

Why was I born in the 90ies again?

I have been so disheartened by the movies out recently. I love movies but find myself struggling to find any I even want to see a little bit anymore :/ I havent seen the run aways for fear of Kristin Stewart role being a let down. But I think i will give it chance now :)

you are right about movies, nothing much lately. ok there are few, but that is it. but this one, i had a peek several weeks ago watching some tv show (don`t remember wich to be honest), ant they announced this one. and it is on my list must see for sure. and i was thrilled by the news of POTC 4 coming out in may 2011. yay! Johhny is back!

and i really do not like this Kristen chick. or her bf/movie partner R-patz. they (whole movie, both parts) were a huge disappointment for me. but thats just me.

I was born in the 80s with same regret as yours... oh 60s! my 70s!

have a nice weekend :)
