Face Of Cheam

Saw the Runaways film last night in Wimbledon. Great bio-pic of the late seventies girl band which included Joan Jett and Lita Ford. The story concentrates on the former and singer Cherie Currie and their manager/producer Kim Fowley. So many good scenes like the band practising to avoid missiles in their rehearsal trailer and Joan filling a water pistol full of Vodka. The music obviously stood out in the film but a worthwhile story is told of the fine line of success, failre and self indulgence of that world. Kristen Stewart (of the awful Twilight films) quite frankly rocks as Joan Jett in a great performance. The film ends with Jett becoming sucessful and Currie going the other way, and there is a nice touch with a brief resume of where the main characters are now with what they did inbetween.
Afterwards we headed to a revamped pub called the Slug where the Slug & Lettuce was. A loud party place with a southern hemisphere theme, everyone was slaughtered! We quickly moved onto Berties for a more relaxed beer.
