THE RUNAWAYS: KEEP RUNNINGKim Fowley: Girls nowadays, they don't have any role models.
This band is self-empowerment, man - Aphrodite, Cleopatra, Eurydice!
No more second-class status, sitting at concerts with asshole boyfriends who worship bands from a Popular Mechanics evaluation of amplifiers.
The Runaways have the most chance of any group I've seen...
To do with the Beatles did. To tear this world apart.
Terrible. terrible. Terrible. I wish the movie had been about Kim Fowley instead (Michael Shannon) as he was the much more passionate member of this band in this film. I was expecting
a shocking, kick ass performance by Dakota Fanning as Cherrie Curry to show us all what a talent to be reckoned with she has become. Instead I kept waiting for her to wake up and start acting. For a set the world on fire band movie this was a fizzle. Fowley was the most interesting and spirited character with Kristen Stewart ringing in as Joan Jett as the close second. She was able to show some grit and some balls, but she was the only one. Otherwise it was a film about some silly little girls who started the first most successful all-girl rock band. Frankly, the band deserved better treatment than this. Fanning was a bomb, but no the kind Cherrie Curry was. Not a movie I recommend.
