Roger Ebert praises Kristen Stewart's acting

Roger Ebert referring to Kristen Stewart as "an important new actress" (via Twitter):

"Kristen Stewart is a fine actress. Saints preserve her from Twilight" -Roger Ebert.


About "The Runaways" Ebert wrote:
"Joan Jett still tours today, and is an intact survivor. The movie reproduces the Runaways' actual music, which is no better that you might expect, but the acting is very convincing. Kristen Stewart proves once again that she's a rising star, and Dakota Fanning is such a fine actress that I, for one, almost believed I'd always heard her using the f-word. As for Michael Shannon, is he the most unheralded force in acting today, or what?"


Vanity Fair's Krista Smith speaks to Director Jake Scott and Actors Kristen Stewart and Melissa Leo about Welcome To The Rileys

"Welcome to the Rileys was one of the buzz champs of Sundance 2010. The discovery once again is Kristen Stewart, who after this year's festival can be considered completely rehabilitated after the "Twilight" films. That sounds like unlikely melodrama? So it is. But Gandolfini, Stewart and Leo inhabit it with persuasive performances, and director Jake Scott uses French Quarter locations that add another level of atmosphere. Gandolfini does something here he often does, as in John Turturro's "Romance & Cigarettes" (2005): He demonstrates that although he may not be conventionally handsome, when he smiles his face bathes you in the urge to like him. Kristen Stewart here is tougher even than her punk rocker in "The Runaways". Who knew she had these notes? I'm discovering an important new actress". Source: twitter.com

"New Moon" DVD, Kristen Stewart: Glamour 2010's Most Stylish Women

Kristen Stewart
Age: 19
Made The List Because: Kristen’s punky style shocked conservative Hollywood (but in a good way). She famously teamed a Yigal Azrouel mini dress with a pair of Converse trainers on the 2009 MTV Awards red carpet – and actually got away with it!

"As expected, at least one new edition of the DVD for The Twilight Saga: New Moon has come about. Before, Best Buy's listing for the DVD was rather sparse, and now, thanks to the wonderful research of some Twilight fans, it is known that Best Buy will be offering a Steel Case Edition of the DVD".

It is supposedly still unavailable on the store's website, but it is said to include a free cell phone skin upon pre-ordering the DVD". Source: www.examiner.com

Amanda Seyfried sings Little House in "Dear John"

Lyrics by: Amanda Seyfried

I love this place
But it's haunted without you
My tired heart
Is beating so slow
Our hearts sing less
Than we wanted
We wanted
Our hearts sing 'cause
We do not know
we do not know

To light the night
To help us grow
To help us grow
It is not said
I always know

You can catch me
Don't you run
Don't you run
If you live another day
In this happy little house
The fire's here to stay

To light the night
To help us grow
To help us grow
It is not said
I always know

Please don't make a fuss
It won't go away
The wonder of it all
The wonder that I made
I am here to stay

I am here to stay

Stay
