Editorial Reviews
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways, the music-fueled, coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl 1970's rock band. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, Apparition will release the film on March 19, 2010.
Los Angeles 1975, Joan Jett (KRISTEN STEWART) and Cherie Currie (DAKOTA FANNING), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways. Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big screen in this story of a group of extraordinary young women as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of girl musicians. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL SHANNON), the group evolves into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself-and so do its two leads: Joan is the band's pure rock' n' roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.
Soundtrack features classic music from The Runaways, plus Runaways songs performed by Dakota Fanning & Kristen Stewart. Also, music from Joan Jett, David Bowie, The Stooges, MC5 and more.

Well, much to my horror, the movie does not seem to be destined to win any Oscars, but if you saw it, well then, you KNOW why I ran home from seeing the movie (on opening weekend!) and ordered it from Amazon ASAP. Some people might be a little turned off by Kristin Stewart and Dakota Fanning's versions being included, but you know what? I think it's really interesting to hear the difference between them and Cherie and Joan. I like to play a little game with this CD : I drive along, listening, and I try to guess if it's the actresses or the real Runaways!
Another crazy delicious surprise is Roxy Roller by Nick Gilder. Remember him from his awful "Hot Child in the City" song?! ICK! But check out "Roxy Roller"! WOW! Not to mention Iggy Pop, Bowie, and the fabulous Suzi Quatro!
Can you tell I LOVE IT?!

The soundtrack is quite good, except they left out "I Love Playin' With Fire" with Kristen Stewart on vocals. One of my favorite songs and scenes from the movie. I'm disappointed about that to say the least.

Why are CDs mixed so loud these days? I just wish the producers of this CD had shown some restraint. The mix is so lound -- particularly on "Roxy Roller" -- that the bass and drums are distorted. Too bad because otherwise this is a great collection of songs. Even the Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart re-recordings are really enjoyable!

excellent listening in its own right
This CD provides pretty good musical continuity besides merely reflecting the film. Suzi Quatro's 'The Wild one' prefigures the Runaways while Bowie's Rebel Rebel is always a great... Read more
