Last night David and I met up with our dear Valley Girls Angie, Justine and Kay for a fun little Gayte Night (gay + date night) out on the town together. We decided to go see The Runaways together at the ArcLight Theater in Sherman Oaks, CA:

I’ve been lookin’ forward to the release of this film for months now and I am happy to report it was worth the wait. While the film is called The Runaways, the focus is squarely on original lead singer Cherie Currie and her life in the band. As Curie, Dakota Fanning gives an amazing performance … honest, gritty and totally believable, Fanning becomes the teenage rockstar that she was portraying. Dakota truly is the star of this film. Kirsten Stewart, bless her heart, is good in this film but not spectacular. Her acting performance is very similar to the performances she gives in other films … I will say that K. Stew absolutely got the look and mannerisms of Joan Jett down perfectly. The movie is actually very good … it kinda gives you a feel for how gritty The Runaways were in the late 70′s without taking things too far. You get a small taste of what it was prolly really like … but, again, the film most likely holds back on the true grit of reality. While the other members of The Runaways are relegated to just background players (which is a bummer cuz Lita Ford ROCKS and should’ve been feature more) the other star of the film is Michael Shannon who plays Runaways Svengali Kim Fowley. He gave a great performance … really rounding out the cast. This movie will not break the bank nor will it win many awards but it is a great look into the short-life of Cherie Currie as frontwoman of The Runaways. For Dakota‘s performance alone, you must see this film.

After the movie, the ladies joined us for drinks and snacks at El Torito, after the jump check out some of our fun photos …

After many months of talking about it, the biopic The Runaways opens in theaters today. To celebrate, David and I are meeting up with my Valley Girls Angie and Justine tonight so that we can all see the movie together:

Unfortch, we’re still shy a 5th person so we can’t actually pretend that we are The Runaways (even tho I think I’d make a fab Lita Ford) but we’ll just have to have as much fun as we can regardless ;) It’ll be great to hang out with Ang and Justine … I haven’t seen the ladies for a while … we’re gonna have FUN!!!

And, as you should know by now, Spring officially arrives TOMORROW (at 10:32 AM PT/ 1:32 PM ET exactly). I hope you have an an amazing SPRINGy weekend!!

UPDATE: Yay!! Our dear friend Kay is IN for tonight so we’ll be 5 strong!! Woot!! I’m gonna be Lita after all!!

Last night the ArcLight Cinemas Cinerama Dome hosted the Hollywood premiere of the much-anticipated biopic The Runaways which features Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning as the leading ladies of the 70′s rock group of the same name. Joining Stewart and Fanning at last night’s premiere was Joan Jett, Cherie Curie and a host of other folks who either appear in the film or just wanted to lend some support at the premiere. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals and some deets about last night’s event:

She’s famous for her role in the fantasy Twilight films. But for her latest movie Kristen Stewart, 19, has taken a reality check and plays iconic rock star Joan Jett of the Seventies band The Runaways. The pair posed together on the red carpet of the film’s Hollywood premiere, but Joan, 51, threatened to almost upstage the young ingenue as she showed off an amazing youthful look. The pair posed together on the red carpet alongside Dakota Fanning, 16, who wore a strapless silver sequinned dress, and her real-life counterpart Cherie Currie, the group’s former lead singer. And Kristen looked rather more cheerful than usual in a coral pink dress as she arrived at the Cinerama Dome Arclight Theatre. Her Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner also came along to the event … Jett, 51, who founded The Runaways along with drummer Sandy West, has been a huge help to Kristen throughout the filming of the biopic. While on US TV’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this week, Kristen said of the role: ‘I was really lucky to have her [Jett] be so into the project and so open about it, because not a lot of people my age know about The Runaways. It was the most important part of her life and kick-started her career. And also, they were the first girl band. They were the first girls to ever play aggressive, sexual assertive rock and roll.’ The Runaways were an American all-girl teenage rock band, on the music scene between 1975 to 1979. The band is best known for the songs Cherry Bomb, Queens of Noise, Rock n Roll, Neon Angels (On the Road to Ruin) and Born to Be Bad.

The film doesn’t open in theaters until next Friday (the 19th) but we are deffo in the homestretch. It’s a bit unusual for a movie premiere to be held this early before the film opens but, in all liklihood, there will be other premieres in other cities next week leading up to the film’s opening. As the article says, Taylor Lautner was in the hiz at last night’s premiere — after the jump, find out who else attended last night’s event …

Last week we got our first listen to the Runaways song Cherry Bomb as performed by Dakota Fanning featuring Kristen Stewart, stars of the upcoming biopic The Runaways. Today we get our first look at the official new Cherry Bomb music video … here are a few screencaps:

At last … in this music video we get to see the other young actress who play the other members of The Runaways in the film! It’s not a bad video but I like the song so … that’s to be expected. After the jump, check out the video and judge for yourselves …

Last Thursday we got our first look at the newly released TV commercial for The Runaways and earlier this week we got our first listen to Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart performing the Runaways hit song Cherry Bomb. Today we get our first look at the FINAL movie trailer to be released for The Runaways before the film opens on March 19:

By far, this is the best preview trailer yet. I love it. The focus is more on Dakota Fanning‘s Cherie Currie character … and I think that is where the strength of the film will lie. I’m excited for this film, that’s for sure. After the jump, check out this new trailer for The Runways in full …

The biopic The Runaways won’t hit theaters for a couple of weeks but right now we get to hear actresses Kristen Stewart (who plays Joan Jett) and Dakota Fanning (who plays Cherie Currie) singing the Runaways hit song Cherry Bomb!

I gotta admit … they sound pretty damn good. I’m guessing their vocals were autotuned to perfection for the soundtrack but still … they sound like the real Runaways. After the jump, check out a couple new promo photos from the film and listen to the song Cherry Bomb, as sung by Fanning and Stewart, in full …

We are mere weeks away from the theatrical release of The Runaways and today we get to see the first TV commercial for the film that will be hitting the airwaves this week … here are a few caps:

This commercial is similar in theme to the movie trailer we saw in December but there are a couple new scenes from the movie to see. Check it out in full after the jump …

We are just about 1 month away from the theatrical release of the biopic The Runways, based on the 70′s rock band of the same name, and today we get see an even newer batch of promo photos from the film. This new batch is not made up of movie stills (like THIS batch of promos), this new batch is meant to look like promo materials from the late 70′s/early 80′s … check it out:

These pics are fun. They are meant to look like teen mags from the late 70′s/early 80′s that were happy to splash photos of The Runaways on their covers. What I like most about these pics is that the other members of the band are featured, it’s not merely all about Kristen Stewart (as Joan Jett) and Dakota Fanning (as Cherie Currie). After the jump, check out a few more of these fun Runaways promo pics …

We are just about a month away from the release of the new biopic The Runaways based on the 70′s band of the same name. Today we get to see a couple of new promo posters for the flick which feature principal stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. IMHO, these new posters are superior to the first teaser poster we saw last month:

If you didn’t know any better, you’d prolly think from all the promo materials that we’ve seen thus far that The Runaways was a band made up of just two young girls, Joan Jett (K. Stewart) and Cherie Currie (D. Fanning). I’m not sure that that’s necessarily a good thing. After the jump, check out the other new poster that features only these two Runaways as well …

Last night The Sundance Film Festival hosted the world premiere screening of the new biopic The Runaways at the Eccles Center Theatre in Park City, UT. As I mentioned yesterday, actresses Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning were joined by director Floria Sigismondi at last night’s premiere. In attendance as well were original Runaways bandmembers Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals along with a review of the film from Entertainment Weekly magazine:

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. These girls, it’s clear, have their underground fashion bona fides down. But it takes Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), the noted record producer who becomes their psycho Svengali, to teach them how to rock out like boys. Fowley, who favors red-leather jackets and dog collars the size of tiaras, is a hyped-up hustler-manipulator who looks like a punk Frankenstein and shouts everything as if in mid-tantrum. He’s a ruthless creep, a kind of jadedly oversexed type-A head case, but he knows what sells. He finds Cherie in a nightclub, immediately placing her in the band as if he were casting a porno film. The fact that she’s only 15 is, to him, icing on the bad-girl cake.

The EW review continues after the jump …
