Stewart Shines As Joan Jett....

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2012)

I've heard people say time and time again that they have no interest in watching this film because they hate the Twilight films so much...Well I say...Perhaps I may be able to convince them to change their minds...Because this film is wonderful...
I look at Kristen Stewart the same way as I look at Robert Deniro...I know that seems like a strange comparison...But it's really not...Try looking at it like this...
Question: What kind of movies is Robert Deniro most "Famous" for..?? Answer: Mobster films..
Now just because he is most famous for mobster films...It doesn't mean that those films are Deniro's best work....For me personally...It was a film called "Awakenings"...Also starring Robin Williams....
Question: What kind of movies is Kristen Stewart most famous for..?? Answer: The Twilight films of course..
But are the Twilight films her best work..??...Oh Hell No..!!...As far as I am concerned...It's movies like "Welcome To The Rileys" alongside Melissa Leo and James Gandolfini...And of course..."The Runaways"...
Kristen Stewart should have gotten an Oscar for flawless performance as Joan Jett....Even Joan Jett herself was totally blown away by her wonderful acting job....
The only real problem I had with The Runaways is that Michael Shannon was kind of a screen hog...Other than that...I loved this movie...I can tell that a great deal of thought and effort was put into this entire production...
I highly recommend this film....Especially Joan Jett fans...After watching the film...Watch again with commentary....It has Dakota Fanning...Kristen Stewart...And Joan Jett herself....
I won't ruin anything for you by mentioning anything they've said in the commentary here....But trust me when I tell you folks....You won't hear anything bad....Especially about Kristen Stewart....And that's all there is too it...
