Photos: Kristen Stewart, The Runaways

Sunday, March 14th, 2010


Kristen Stewart posing in stark contrast outside both the Los Angeles and Sundance premiere of The Runaways, which opens this week. Below, Stewart with Joan Jett in 2009 while filming the movie.

The L.A. Times gave the movie a favorable review, and also not hurting is the fact that there isn’t a single other desirable film out right now.

I kind of felt sinister even entertaining the idea of posting Dakota Fanning and Cherie Curry photos.

7 Awesome Songs From Fight Scenes

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Everyone loves a good fight scene. But you know what most good fight scenes lack? An awesome song to go along with it. Right? Right?

But have no fear, for I’ve found seven movies that know how to treat a fight scene.

The Last Dragon – The Last Dragon Anthem, Dwight David

First off, if you don’t own this movie you can’t possibly be human. And if you do own this movie and you don’t know this song by heart, you can’t possibly be human.

Karate Kid – You’re the Best Around, Joe Esposito

I don’t need to explain this one. It’s Daniel LaRusso and Kobra Kai (says, No Mercy!) fighting to “You’re the Best Around”. I know you know all the words to this song. You don’t have to admit it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Oooze – Ninja Rap, Vanilla Ice

Ok, I can explain……

You know what? Screw it.

I know this song word for word. And you know what else? This song is awesome. There. I said it.

Rocky III – Eye of the Tiger, Survivor

Boxing is fighting, right? Good. Since we’re allowing boxing, there’s no way I could make this list without “Eye of the Tiger”. Absolutely no way.

Office Space – Still, Geto Boyz

This isn’t a fight per se, but only because the fax machine doesn’t fight back. But there are weapons involved and you can never go wrong with a Geto Boys song, so it makes the list. Deal with it.

I’m Gonna Git You Sucka - Kung Fu Fighting, Carl Douglas

One of my favorite movies of all time. In this classic clip, Kung Fu Joe roughs up a few cops while, wait for it………”Kung Fu Fighting” is playing. Does it get any better than that?

Charlie’s Angels – Smack My B*tch Up, Prodigy

Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Gotta give this movie mad props. They could’ve just left it at 3 beautiful women kicking tail. That would’ve been good enough. But they went the extra mile and dropped a track like “Smack My B*tch Up” in the middle of 3 beautiful women kicking tail.

Pirate Radio coming soon [trailer]…

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

The story of the motley crue that saved Rock n’ Roll, as told by Phil Hoffman in a leather vest. Does this turn into a full-blown battle on the high seas? Here’s hoping.

Pirate Radio, based on a true story - possibly, the true story that the term ‘pirate radio’ emanates from when a British band of ruffians set sail with a pirate ship and started broadcasting.
