For those of you interested, here is a Rolling Stone Review of the upcoming movie, The Runaways, the first female rock band to make it in the business.
http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/14700246/review/32774176/the_runaways
As most of you know, the two main roles of Cherie Currie and Joan Jett are being played by childhood star Dakota Fanning, and Twilight's Kristen Stewart. Now for those of you who've seen Twilight, you know how Stewart acts. Personally, I'm extremely worried about the heavy role that she's been given, but we want to know what you think. Drop us a comment with your opinion on the casting picks, what you expect from the movie, and what you would like to see. Hope you enjoy reading!

3D Catastrophe
If you want to you can read this, it brings up some points I'm going to talk about.
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=64477
It's just a review but I wanted to show you guys this to tell you about what I think. I've always liked Dreamworks animation, and their movies have never really disappointed (minus two and three of Shrek, the original was great though). This one gets great talk of it's soaring flight scenes, apparently it's just like the flying scenes in Avatar-which is great considering I didn't go see it in 3D. However, as far as I can tell you can only see this movie in 3D. There are a couple reasons this is a problem: firstly, I think it's kind of disappointing. There are always one or two scenes where you can tell they were talking in the cutting room and saying "THIS IS GOING TO BE THE COOLEST SCENE EVER, exceptitsgoingtobereallylamein2D" (in a creepy man voice to boot). And secondly, as someone with less than optimal vision it gets to be annoying trying to push your glasses close to your eyes with a second pair of big clunky (or flimsy, it depends on the movie) 3D glasses over them. Though I still plan on going to see the movie, I'm interested in finding out if anybody else is. Let us know if you find yourself wanting to go to this or any other 3D movies.

Superhero Fascination
Halfway through the twentieth century action packed movies were made by the greatest of directors. But in the eighties and nineties a new fad was born, THE SUPERHERO, or reborn one would say. But thirty years later we're still riding on the fad, should we just kill the industry or continue in our attempts to revive it?

Just a Mouseclick Away
At the start of online downloading, the new trend in buying music seemed like the coolest thing ever to happen in the life of the American consumer. But just a few years after the start, the affects are starting to show, and the outlook isn't bright for the record industry.

Modern Music Travesty
Music has always been a staple in pop culture. However, so-called "popular" music nowadays is very different that "popular" music of the past. Which music is superior?
