So much more than Bella......

The other night, I got a movie from Netflix that I picked out because Kristen Stewart is in it and it sounded interesting. So, after having watched it, I thought so much of it that I decided to write a post about it. Now, I'm not saying that Miss Stewart wasn't great in Twilight (because I really do think she was perfect for the part--just my opinion, take it for what it's worth), but it did nothing to display her acting skills. I've since seen other movies she's been in and have literally been blown away by her. She doesn't get recognized for her talent that's being overshadowed by Bella Swan. So I'm going to recommend these movies to everyone out there who cares to listen because, dang, this girl can act.

The movie I saw last night was called "Speak" about a girl who retreats into herself when she is a victim of a traumatic incident. The part that blew me away the most is she was only 13 when she did this very intense subject matter, and she carried the movie all by herself. I would actually really like to read the book as well.


The next movie I was really impressed by was "The Cake Eaters". It's a story of a girl who has Freidreichs Ataxia and wants to be a normal teenager. When I was watching it with Carol, she asked me if the girl in it actually had the disease because her performance was so convincing.


These movies make me anxious to see the next up on Kristen Stewart's list which is "The Runaways" in which she portrays Joan Jett. From what I've read, she and Dakota Fanning are BOTH getting to stretch their acting muscles and I can't wait to see what they do.
