“Adventureland” the new movie of "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart

New Moon star Kristen Stewart was just another young actress whom most people had never heard of. But when Twilight  out and changed all of that.
In that creepy romantic tale, based on a popular teen novel, she plays a high school student who falls truly, madly, deeply in love with a vampire. The movie grossed more than $370 million worldwide and propelled her to stardom. Stewart now finds herself on the cover of teen magazines answering questions about whether she’s romantically involved with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.

They’re just friends, she insists; her actual beau is actor Michael Angarano and “I’ve always had an aversion to looking sexy — it’s gross, you know,” she tells Nylon.

Kristen Stewart had her say in the Twilight soundtrack, effectively propelling Iron & Wine's whimsical "Flightless Bird" to the homes of millions.She may not have had much to do with the soundtrack for her latest film Adventureland, but the sounds and feel of the film are pretty trendy - if you're one of the handful of people who think fondly of the 1980's.

“Adventureland” may seem like just another romantic coming-of-age story — or the type of genre that’s been told and exhausted an unbearable number of times — but the talented cast of mostly unknowns and the cleverly sweet humor each character brings to the screen makes this movie charming, honest and genuine — offering audiences a refreshing perspective on bad summer jobs which can bring with it some of the greatest memories.Set in the summer of 1987, where catchy one-hit wonders and neon digs were bangin’, “Adventureland” centers around a recent college grad who is regretfully forced to sacrifice his dream of traveling through Europe and live at home with his parents to raise money for grad school. What James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg, “The Squid and the Whale”) doesn’t realize, is college graduates with little experience in the summer job market don’t have many options when it comes to making any kind of money. Enter Adventureland amusement park, where you’re guaranteed “a fun-tastic time!” What James believes will be a summer of cleaning up puke and drowning in his own self-pity surprisingly turns into a roller-coaster ride of young love, new friendships and quirky adventures with some pretty eccentric characters.

Kristen Stewart, who dominated her role in Adventureland alongside also-brilliant co-stars Jesse Eisenberg and Ryan Reynolds, may be a good-luck charm for decent soundtracks, it seems. Adventureland's soundtrack includes the classics like Lou Reed, The Cure, Outfield, and David Bowie, our wouldn't-be-the-80's-without-them favorites, but it also brings back some, perhaps, of our less favored artists such as Falco, giving us a new perspective on the sound. One of the more prominent songs throughout the film, "Pale Blue Eyes," by The Velvet Underground, sort of echos one portion of the story/theme of Adventureland. In any case, the quality of the music isn't too bad, considering it was a time in American music when there were some real winners, but there were also some real losers (think Rick Astley... arguably). While I'm not sure it ranks up there with the Twilight soundtrack in originality, it's coalescence with the theme, tone, mood, and even look of its respective film is quite extraordinary. The list and purchasing information for the soundtrack is available here. Whether Kristen will be singing in her upcoming biopic about Joan Jett, The Runaways, is as yet unknown.
Kristen Stewart plays Brennan’s love interest Em, a troubled NYU student who uses her gig at Adventureland as an excuse to get away from her hag of a stepmother, smoke a lot of pot and try to escape her problems. While Stewart has brought intensity to previous roles in indie flicks such as “Into the Wild” and “In the Land of Women,” she has never been so lovably convincing as the troubled girl she plays in “Adventureland.” The subtle charm and energy Stewart brings to her lost character is so inviting that it’s hard not to want to work the ring-toss table alongside her.
