Here's the movie that Larry has been waiting for. Those not in the know, Larry has a mad crush on Dakota Fanning, and tries to see every movie she makes. Well, here comes another Dakota Fanning movie, and this time it is a very good one.
The Runaways, the story of the 70's punk-era rock and roll band made up of five girls from different walks of life, and the 'mad' manager who made them rock and roll stars.
Directed by Floria Sigismondi, this film takes no prisoners with its face-paced energy. More of a story about the hectic days of one rock and roll show after another, and the endless hours of time on a bus getting from one gig to another than a love story among members of the band, most of whom didn't get along with the other.
Formed by Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), and primarily featuring Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), this is the story of two members of the band and how they become icons in the record business not even knowing what they did. Scout Taylor-Compton portrays Lita Ford, next to Joan Jett, one of the girls who had an extended career after "The Runaways" brief run at the pop charts.
Was very lucky to see an Advanced Screening of this film, and plan on seeing it again when it is released on April 9, 2010. On the Junkie Meter I will give this film a 3.5 for its honest effort at trying to be a straight-forward biopic and not an exploitation film of five girls on the short road to fame.
;D
