The Runaways reviews

A couple of the Runaways reviews:

HitFix.com
It’s hard to believe that 35 years ago a girl with a guitar was a scandalous thing. If nothing else, “The Runaways” provides a little historical perspective on a time not so long ago when aggressive axe-wielding female musicians were seen as a threat to their male counterparts. But instead of celebrating the Runaways’ pioneering achievements and influence, the movie comes across as a cautionary tale about what happens when teenage girls run wild.

“The Runaways,” which centers on the relationship between Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and lead singer Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), premiered at Sundance Sunday night, but with Apparition already signed on as distributor, the movie played here mainly to drum up excitement prior to its March 19 wide release.
The film does a masterful job of showing how the band, which started as five questionably talented outcasts in Los Angeles with ambitions that far outweighed their abilities, zoomed to stardom on a bullet train steered by producer/manager Kim Fowley.Even at the group’s height, the Runaways’ passion, verve and raw appeal surpassed its talent (with the possible exception of guitarist Lita Ford, who did not cooperate with the making of the movie). Cult hit “Cherry Bomb,” written on the fly as an audition piece for Currie if the movie is to be believed, was all tease and come ons strung together with simple rhymes and a few chord changes in the best tradition of punk.

The Hollywood Reporter:
The Runaways -- Film Review
Bottom Line: A quick-silver, impressionistic account of the swift rise and long, steep fall of rock's first all-girl band.

More Sundance reviews

PARK CITY -- "The Runaways" bursts with energy, youth, excess, female empowerment, sex, drug and rock 'n' roll. It's an instant hit worldwide with its cast of young stars, but is it any good? Surprisingly, yes. It just must be met on its own terms. While neither a biopic nor a concert film about the famous/infamous 1970s all-female band the Runaways, the film does prefer music and bad behavior to insight, character or substance. First-time director Floria Sigismondi, whose background is in photography and video, surfs along the surface of the '70s rock scene in Los Angeles and, weirdly, Tokyo, to scoop up photo ops, sound bites and glimpses of a hardcore lifestyle. The vigor and pace is electric, and the movie features three showy performances by Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Michael Shannon.

Fanning, Stewart grow up fast in "The Runaways," if not unpredictably.
By Sam Adams on 01/25/2010
Filed under: Reviews
Reviewed at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

Coming-of-age movies are Sundance's stock in trade, but few announce themselves as boldly, and broadly, as "The Runaways," whose first shot is a splotch of menstrual blood hitting the pavement. Said splotch emanates from Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), a suburban California teenager with a burgeoning David Bowie obsession and a surly sensuality just beginning to bloom.

Teenage sexuality has always been the wellspring of rock and roll, but the Runaways made themselves the aggressors, concocting an unstable mixture of empowerment and exploitation. Floria Sigismondi, who directed music videos for Marilyn Manson, Christina Aguilera and the White Stripes, has the story's girl-power framework well in hand. But in spite of that opening drop, the movie's evocation of the Runaways' rise and fall is short on the juices that make for great, trashy, disreputable rock. She crams Fanning into Currie's famous corset, and stages a passionate kiss between Currie and Jett before compressing their romantic relationship into a single softcore montage, but the movie is too tasteful and glossy to thoroughly embody the Runaways' quasi-pedophiliac appeal.

EW.com:
Sundance: Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning rock out in 'The Runaways,' but the movie itself is no knockout
by Owen Gleiberman
Categories: Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Sundance Film Festival 2010, The Runaways

From the moment I arrived at Sundance, the movie that more or less everyone, including me, wanted to see most was The Runaways — and not just because it offered the chance to see whether Kristen Stewart, as Joan Jett, could leave her swoony Twilight mopiness behind her and play a rock & roll princess with down-and-dirty spunk. (Verdict: She can.) It’s also because the Runaways, a packaged group of choppy-haired teen-glam feline punkettes from L.A. who, in 1976, did for girls playing power chords what the Sex Pistols did for beer-spewing anarchy, may seem cooler now than they did then. In hindsight, they blazed quite a trail, but they didn’t have many good songs — and even their best one, “Cherry Bomb,” never quite broke free of their jailbait novelty-act image.
The most entertaining thing about the movie is that its writer-director, music-video veteran Floria Sigismondi (making her feature debut), has a sixth sense for how the Runaways were an image first and a rock & roll band second. Early on, we see Stewart’s black-shag-haired Joan in an L.A. boutique, where she has to coerce the sales woman into selling her a man’s studded biker jacket, which she wears as if born to it. Stewart’s no-frills, casually likable performance begins with Jett’s distinctive tough-girl saunter — which is to say, the actress knows just how to walk like a skinny dude. At the same time, we meet Cherie Currie (first name pronounced Sher-ee), who chops her platinum-blonde mane into a David Bowie shag, paints on the facial lightning streak from his Aladdin Sane cover, and lip-syncs to him at a high school talent show, which results in her being pelted with wads of paper.

THE RUNAWAYS Movie Review - Sundance 2010
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted:January 24th, 2010 at 7:00 pm



With fantastic performances from Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Michael Shannon, The Runaways delivered the goods at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Based on the book Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story by Cherie Currie, The Runaways tells the coming-of-age story of the teenage rock band The Runaways and how they came together in the mid 1970’s. Kristen Stewart stars as Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning is Cherie Currie, and Michael Shannon stars as the über-eccentric Kim Fowley - the man who put The Runaways together.

While there was a lot of debate if the film would show a no-holds-barred account of what The Runaways really went through back in the 70’s - like the drug use and the in-band make-out sessions - not only does the film show a warts-and-all look at what happened to the band - at times you’ll feel like you’re watching documentary footage from the era as Stewart and Fanning are really playing and singing in the film, and they both deliver inspired performances. For more of my thoughts on the film, hit the jump:

Sundance Review: The Runaways
by Kevin Kelly Jan 24th 2010 // 9:02PM
Filed under: Drama, Music & Musicals, Sundance, Theatrical Reviews


I'll be blunt about this: I really wasn't looking forward to this movie. I'm not the biggest fan of lip-chewing, hair-twirling Kristen Stewart, or the wide-eyed, blank face expert Dakota Fanning. I love rock and roll (so put another dime in the jukebox, baby) as much as the next person, but these two starring in a movie about an all-girl, teen sensation, flash in the pan band from the 1970s? I just didn't think they could pull it off. Hey, at least I'm big enough to admit I was wrong. The Runaways rocked the Joan Jett / Cherie Currie backstory's pants off (literally), and I'll be buying the soundtrack, which features K-Stew and D-Fan singing the blasts from the past.

However, this movie really should have been called The Joan Jett & Cherie Currie Show, because the other Runaways are hardly featured in this movie at all. Sandy West (who co-founded the band with Joan Jett), and Lita Ford's stories aren't given much attention in the film, and Ford seems to exist just to cause drama. Additionally, The Runaways had six different bass players during their short four-year history (including Micki Steele who went on to The Bangles) so the filmmakers decided to create a fictional girl named Robin Robins. She's played by Alia Shawkat of Arrested Development fame, and she unfortunately gets only one or two lines.

Dark Horizons:
Sundance Review: "The Runaways"

email to a friend
By Paul Fischer Sunday January 24th 2010 10:05PM

The perfect Sundance film is "The Runaways", a film that is both provocative and haunting, a film that captures the mid-seventies with clarity and that beautifully explores the fascinating world of teen girl band The Runaways, fleetingly big at a time of social unrest.

The movie focuses on the often turbulent and protective relationship between guitarist/vocalist Joan Jett and lead vocalist Cherie Currie as they navigate a rocky road of touring and record-label dramas. The film beautifully chronicles the band's formation as well as their meteoric rise under the pervasive eye of an abusive manager.

MTV movies blog about Welcome to The Rileys:
Sundance Review: Kristen Stewart's 'Welcome To The Rileys'
Posted 13 hrs ago by Eric Ditzian in Reviews, Sundance 2010
Kristen Stewart is utterly fearless in "Welcome to the Rileys." That's the takeaway from the film's world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday afternoon. You can quibble all you want with her portrayal of a 16-year-old runaway turned stripper and prostitute. But you cannot walk away from a viewing and say the actress doesn't fearlessly expose herself physically and emotionally, and doesn't do so with astonishing maturity and believability.

Working the lap dance rooms and seedy motels of New Orleans, Stewart's character (real name Allison, working girl name Mallory and many others) is a damaged runaway with a filthy mouth and an even filthier idea of how to make money. There is little sexy about this teen, as she's prayed on by faceless men; the camera catches every pimple, every dark circle under her eye, every strand of stringy hair that has seen far too much strip club cigarette smoke and not enough shampoo (and no, she does not once get naked). Her life is going nowhere until a plumbing supply salesman named Doug Reily (James Gandolfini) shows up and takes Allison under his wing.

Eclipse trailer is coming closer.

David Slade, director for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, just issued a message on Twitter, saying that his New Year's gift (promised via Twitter on December 30th) had to be cancelled and that it was not his fault. He also updated his followers as to the progress of Eclipse in the post-production process.

New Year's gift was cancelled. Out of my hands unfortunately. I tried. On another note our edit is driving towards the finish line...

Wonder what it could have been . . . Also, now that we know where the editing process happens to be (and even though David Slade has said he doesn't know when the first film trailer will be seen), we can fairly estimate that it must be getting close to trailer/teaser time.

Stephanie Meyer about Breaking Dawn

Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I’ve said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I’m all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I’ve spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We’re all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip get fabricated to stir things up, but there’s no basis to this particular story.

*Spoilers* Eclipse Script Analysed

Sidenote: Ok.. so the pics don't work.. TO see it whole, go to the source ;)


If you read the leaked script..... *SPOILERS OTHERWISE*
So my inbox received a nice gift yesterday that was the alleged leaked script of Twilight Saga Eclipse.

I did not read the New Moon script when it circulated, then again, I had Eclipse coming to town to film and entertain me.

Now, however, there is no news of Breaking Dawn public yet, no new information on anything Twilight, so this script was timed just perfectly... almost too perfectly don't you think? ;)

I do not have a link to the script, I advise people NOT to try and download from a link - there are many people out there who are truly Malicious (and not just using it as a nickname ;) tee hee)

You could end up with a vampire virus and/or get into trouble for downloading.... though I think enough people have copies circulating if you wanted it I am certain you could just ask someone to email it to you.

Ok, enough about that - on with the details...

There are 114 pages of the July version script.

When I list page #s below, it's based on the .pdf page # [if you don't have 114 page version - last page is blank anyways it may be a page ahead/behind from what I list]

Filming started August 17 and so there may be some minor changes from script to movie, plus of course FX, cgi, actors impromptu parts, ad lib and camera angles will make the movie - but for the most part I believe this script to be legit and accurate.

**All links in this post will take you to other photos and posts of mine from previous months when there was live filming here in Vancouver. Enjoy!

Here are some reasons why I think this script is legit:

Opening Scene - Riley in an alley being chased by a shadow after leaving a bar. (p. 2)

This was filmed in three locations in Vancouver. The locations filmed at locally suit the script description perfectly (down to the cobblestone and alleyways) and rumour around the set during filming was that it was going to be the opener, this is completely unlike the book so therefore seems accurate in this script.

Under the bridge - Riley and Victoria under the bridge kissing. (p. 71)

There were photos of them kissing. In the script this is exactly the same and it differs from the book also so it seems legit.

While filming:


PunkD Images Photo from Lainey Gossip:



My Photo the next day:




Upside down Car in "Seattle" - There was an upside down car, a fire and newborns going crazy as Volturi look on. (p. 55)

We saw the upside down car, fire and other fans photos on the scene of Dakota Fanning and Charlie Bewley at their dressing rooms. We deduced that it was a Seattle scene where newborns go nuts and Volturi observe. These very specific details are different from the book but seen in this script. They play out well in a movie as it's a very visual cue to the audience that the Volturi know what's going on now and aren't happy.

Set:


Upside Down Car:




Future Life with Jacob - Bella imagines a future if she chooses Jacob. (p. 95)

We saw the changes to the Swan house and props that included a rocking chair and children's toys. A neighbour reported there were children playing and filmed at the house. There was also the tweet about Charlie in old man make-up (A tweet quickly removed and then covered up as a "joke" between Billy Burke and David Slade) Fans are smarter than that and We guessed it had to do with Bella imagining having kids... perhaps a future life if she chose Jacob or how she couldn't have kids as a vampire.... The script proves this "life with Jacob fantasy" is indeed correct.



Back-Story Jasper - Jasper's History of becoming a Vampire and his experience with newborn armies. (p. 67-69)

The script clearly addresses this as Jasper tells Bella about his past. Casting information told us also that this was going to happen (Kristen Prout as Lucy and Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria.) We also knew he'd been filmed on horseback (the first day of shooting actually)as well as the interior of a barn, which is exactly what we saw and predicted was filming (Jasper's back story) though we weren't sure details of what in his past was shot, the script shows Jasper following orders from Maria, terrible orders (killing the boy newborn).

Barn Set:




Back-Story Rosalie - Rosalie's backstory and how she became a vampire. (p. 51)

Again, thanks to casting announcements we knew Jack Huston had been cast as Royce King II and therefore there would be Rosalie's backstory. The script discusses her desire to have children and the perfect life as human and also her attack from Royce and friends before becoming a vampire. We saw filming of Nikki Reed in high-class old fashion and the very jacket and brass buttons the script mentions.




Arrival of New Borns - The newborns led by Riley, emerge from the water. (p. 86)

This is not in the book but is in the script and there are photos in my blog from this scene being shot. The new borns all come out of the water and Bree is with them. Also when I met Xavier Samuel I asked him "was that you in the water the other day? Someone was trying to say it was a double" he told me it was indeed him in the water.




Trip to Florida - Bella and her mom talking in Florida. (p. 13)

In the book I believe she and her mom walk along the beach talking. The script however says they sit in lounge chairs in a bungalow, which is exactly what the photos show from filming. This continues to show this script and it's fine details match what we saw live in Vancouver, even the slight differences from the book.




Forks Police Station - Edward and Bella visit Chief Swan (p. 12)

We saw them filming Edward and Bella going to the Police Station and insiders said it was to bring up the trip to Florida. The script shows the same scene with both interior and exterior shots.




Trying to Catch Victoria - Victoria Jumps over a ravine. (p. 16)

We saw them prepare a massive "ravine" with fake trees on one side and harnesses for stunt work. Victoria's stunt double was in the forests for much of these scenes.

Outside Jacob's - Dr. Carlisle comes to help heal Jacob (p. 108)

I remember seeing Carlisle's car outside Jacob's house along with Bella's truck. I couldn't think of why Carlisle would be there with wolvesuntil someone reminded me of this scene possibility. Sure enough, Cullen's are allowed on to Quileute land at this point. Jacob's bones are re-broken and set correctly. Bella comes to visit.




Outside Highschool - Jacob arrives on motorcycle. (p. 18)

The script says Jacob wears a tight black t-shirt and no coat in the cold. We saw the exterior school with the motorcycle as well as school bus, and other vehicles. We also saw photos of Taylor Lautner in the same outfit looking super hot.






The Third Wife Tale - Bella joins Jacob and the Quileute at the bonfire. (p. 35 - 38)

This was filmed in the back of Jacob's house. In the books it was at the beach and we assumed they just filmed it behind Jacob's to avoid moving set, but in the script it actually says behind Jacob's house. Also the scene where Bella sees herself as the third wife (foreshadowing her actions later when Riley and Victoria show up at the tent (p. 104) to fight) was filmed separately (the first week of filming).

Graduation - Outside Party (p. 54)

In the books the party is at the Cullen's. It still is in this script, but while filming they had a "graduation party" outside the school (at a local park) and at the time I wasn't sure if they were using the park as the Cullen's yard or what. The script tells us that after graduation, everyone is outside the school.




Other bits I saw filmed / reported on:

-Angela and Bella doing graduation invitations (p. 31)
-The graduation (p. 54)
-The Cannery with newborns (p. 42 & 59 & 83)
-The woods (fight training, fighting, etc.) (p. 62 & 97 & throughout)
-The Tent Scene (exterior filmed on the mountain, interior filmed in studio) (p. 88)
-Lainey reported Bella piggypack on Jacob and blood drippings
-Highschool shooting (though this set I didn't go to in New Moon or Eclispe during live filming - too chaotic)
-Jacob's House and his Garage.

What surprised me/didn't know or anticipate:

-Bella's dream of Jasper with red eyes as Victoria appears beside him, tipping her off that the newborn army is Victoria's doing. I didn't know about this scene at all and think it will be awesome. (p. 70)

-Riley's parents at the Forks Police Station and the "missing person" posters were a nice edition to tie in the story, especially when he is in the Swan house and sees Charlie sleeping and his own photo in the file.

-Alice and Edward in the volturi chairs, showing the Volturi's goal of having them and their talents part of their team. (p. 41)

-The Cullen's have a television and watch CNN (p. 39)

Cool Parts:

-Bella punching Jake after the kiss, Charlie's response (p. 47)
-"Doesn't he own a shirt" from Edward about Jacob (LOL) (p. 34)
-Marriage/Sex Talk with Charlie (everything with Charlie is always great!) (p. 78)
-The almost sex scene including a "shirtless" Edward. "It's not old fashioned, it's ancient" ha ha (p. 80)
-The Jacob/Bella consensual kiss (p. 90)
-The proposal(s)
-Addition of Leah as a wolf and her transformation

Notes:

-It doesn't "SAY" leg-hitch but I am sure it will be included by actions in the film.

-The newborns emerging from the water was filmed where my husband proposed to me <3 (p. 86) -I wanted more banter between Edward & Jacob and I feel like through filming and ad lib the final product may have more than the script shows (hopefully) (p. 88 & throughout) -Part of the fight scene has a log breaking (p. 101) and I remember seeing the fake log that was broken as well as giant boulders that were actually light as air... hoping to see them be thrown in the film though the script doesn't mention it. -In the tent as "sleep takes over" (p. 90) I would have preferred to see her "dream" of a future life with Jacob as opposed to how they have her wake up and have Jacob overhear they are engaged, chase him, kiss him, imagine future... I dunno... just me? -Most of the forest scenes were shot in three different forests and two of those were used in New Moon. Two of them were on private property so no one could get close to see but the circus (hair/make-up etc.) was away from the private property and fans often waited by it to catch a glimpse of their fave cast. Some had successes, some did not.

-The ending is rumoured to be slightly different than this script - I guess we won't know until the June release of the movie, but overall I think the script is fairly accurate.

-All my set reports for Eclipse run from August 17, 2009 - October 31, 2009. Go to my archives to view again and compare to script if you wish <3

Robsten Watching You Watching Them

Robsten's Watching You Watching Them

Robert Pattinson, Kristen StewartAP Photo/Chris Polk



















While the Nonsten-Robsten argument heats up with more supposed Robert Pattinson andKristen Stewart love-sightings over in the UK, we don't need to see ant-like pics of them on rocks to know what's going down.

We just want these poor overworked kids to get a vacation! (Apparently, AT's the only media outlet that felt this way, whatever). But alas, that's just never possible if you're a part of the Twilight franchise.

You'd think that in between New Moon andEclipse promotions, Rob and Kristen would get a little bit of a break, no?

Uh-uh.

Nor is everything entirely rosy in Robstenland...

Although what we've insisted many times prior (that Rob and Kristen don't really give an ef what everybody thinks of them) still stands, nothing of the kind exists for Robsten's handlers, mainly the studio-esque kind.

"They are very aware of everything that's said about Rob and Kristen," insists Deep Twi, "and particularly right now. Just because [Rob and Kristen] are in between filming doesn't mean we're not following what's being written about them now, it will be remembered."

In other words, any outlet that cares to take a pot-shot at the couple—perhaps doubting the reason we're not seeing Robsten out and about is because they were only a promotional tool—will be logged and literally filed away. Just as been done before with us.

"Their people are very sensitive," insists another scooper, from deep inside the Twilight franchise, "and not only are they hyper aware about what's being reported on Rob and Kristen—it's the whole cast, too, it's an incredibly protective bunch, like a family."

(Oops! Good thing we made up with Nikki Reed, that babe we used to sometimes give a hard time to!)

Gotta say two things here: First, everybody should know that the protectors of Robsten who are being so bullish are doing so because they're an item, get it? Secondly, we don't actually tremble too much at the thought of Robsten's guard dogs, really, 'cause we're the ones who broke Rob and Kristen were sweet on each other in the first place.

Would be like preaching to the bitchy choir, know what I mean?
