If you're a fan of Kristen Stewart (and I know most of you are), then this past weekend at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival should be on your radar as it featured not one, but two new films starring Stewart: The Runaways and Welcome to the Rileys. While the latter hasn't been picked for distribution yet (though it definitely will be, I'm sure of it), the former will arrive in theaters on March 19th for all to see. But what's the immediate buzz on them coming out of Sundance?
For starters, both films probably aren't suitable for the younger Twi-hards out there as there's some sexually explicit content in each. The Runaways stars Stewart as iconic musician Joan Jett, and the most talked-about scene in that film is one that sees Stewart making out with Dakota Fanning (who plays fellow rocker Cherie Currie). If that's not enough to either entice you or turn you away, know that the film features heavy drug use and foul language throughout. This isn't your wholesome see-it-with-the-family kind of movie as Cinematical points out in their review by noting that "Kristen Stewart's Joan Jett urinates on electric guitars, pops pills, snorts coke, and loves other ladies." Definitely a ballsy performance on Stewart's part, and one that a lot of people have been talking about.

I can't wait to see both, but Welcome To The Rileys is a better vehicle for Kristen in terms of Oscar attention next year. It's also the better reviewed and more of a lead character.
