All of the Lights: TRON: Legacy is a dazzler!

TRON: Legacy was a huge relief for me. Being a huge fan of the original film, I have been waiting patiently for a sequel to come along. Finally, Disney has delivered (through the mind of up-and-coming director Joseph Kosinski) a worthy successor to the 80s sci-fi classic.

This new film follows Sam Flynn (Kevin’s kid, played by solid lead Garrett Hedlund) as he, after 20 years, finally re-connects with his father in The Grid, the cyber utopia his father helped create. There, Sam encounters not only his father, but CLU, a rouge program created by Kevin that now reigns over The Grid with an iron fist, and has a price over Kevin’s head. The plot, while at times a bit confusing, adds up like the first one did. Escape The Grid and destroy the evil program running it. This new outing into the Tron world is just as satisfying and fun as the first installment. Jeff Bridges stepping back into the shoes of Kevin Flynn and into the new shoes of villainous CLU just felt oh so right. Bridges’ maniacal performance as CLU was downright great. Hedlund did a decent enough job as Sam, as did Olivia Wilde (”House”), who played Quorra, Kevin Flynn’s protoge in The Grid. Michael Sheen, while being in a minor role, brings a fun, electrified performance as Castor, a hyped club owner. Even Bruce Boxleitner (TRON/Alan Bradley from the original) returns and does a great job. Kosinski’s direction was masterful, whether it be the jaw-dropping Game scenes or the final, epic sky battle, Kosinski truly has directed a passionate love letter to the original film. The film’s visuals are the year’s best, if not the past 10 year’s best. Daft Punk’s infectious score pounds its way through the film, and adds a level of intensity that further makes this film worth while.

I will admit that, at times, the script got a tad bit weak with the dialogue, but honestly, I followed the plot pretty easily. Despite the lukewarm reception by critics, I highly recommend a viewing of this film. It’s fun, exciting, and at times, stunning. I find this installment on par with the original, and if things are like they should be, a sequel could be down the road. Also, there’s a great cameo at the beginning that further pushes the need for a sequel. Overall, Tron Legacy is a big, loud piece of entertainment, and I loved every second of it.

Kristen Stewart is an “incredible” cook

The 20-year-old American actress stars with Garrett Hedlund in the movie adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel ‘On The Road’ and the actor admits his culinary skills will never be a match for his co-star.

Garrett told MTV News: “You got to try the tortilla soup! It’s incredible. She’s honed it.

“I’m pretty much a klutz in the kitchen. I go through waves. Sometimes I just depend on pots and pans and cook up out of convenience, and sometimes I can’t even find a fork.”

Kristen has previously revealed she loved to cook for the cast of the film – which also includes Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen and Sam Riley – saying the tortilla soup was her signature dish.

She said: “I didn’t bake; I cooked a lot, though. I think I can do a really, really good, terrific tortilla soup. That was my ‘On the Road’ dish.”

However Kristen didn’t just cook for her ‘On the Road’ castmates, the actress – who plays Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight Saga’ series, also loves to throw big parties for those involved with the vampire franchise, including her boyfriend Robert Pattinson.

She said: “I get really embarrassed when people ask me what I cook, for some reason. I shouldn’t say that I cook anymore. There was like a big BBQ situation and, like, a bunch of steaks and veggies, and I made chicken piccata. I’m so embarrassed right now. But I made homemade marinara sauce starting at, like, two in the afternoon. It wasn’t done until eight. It was incredible. The ‘Twilight’ cast showed up.”

It is rumoured that the 24-year-old British hunk wants to be with Kristen Stewart 24 hours a day. Rob was also recently alleged to be jealous over Kristen Stewarts love scenes with Viggo Mortensen in her new movie ‘On the Road‘.

An insider told Hollywood Life, “Rob plans on being on the set of On the Road, not because he has a role in the drama, but because Kristen has a real risque part!” The insider added that there are a lot of sex scenes and “Kristen told him she didn’t want him on the set because it would make her feel uncomfortable”.

Robert Pattinson also seems to be very possessive of the 20 year old Twilight sensation. According to Showbiz Spy, a source revealed, “When he visits her on set, he’s always by Kristen’s side — and it annoys her.”

On the Road, a novel by American writer Jack Kerouac, is a largely autobiographical work that was based on the spontaneous road trips of Kerouac and his friends across mid-century America. In the film adaptation of On the Road, Sam Riley will star as Kerouac’s alter ego Sal Paradise. Garrett Hedlund has been cast as Dean Moriarty. Kristen Stewart has confirmed that she will play Mary Lou and Kirsten Dunst will star as Camille. Filming has officially begun as of August 2, 2010.

What Garrett Hedlund Thinks About Kristen Stewart?

Seems like Garrett Hedlund is a Kristen Stewart fan too. The 25-year-old star, known for his role in the movie “Four Brothers” and in the upcoming film “Tron: Legacy“, thinks that Stewart has “got it all there”.

Hedlund told MTV News, “She’s got it all there”. He added, “She’s where she needs to be and further.”

A film adaptation of On the Road has been in the works for years, though production has not yet started. Kristen Stewart has confirmed that she will play ‘Mary Lou‘ in “On the Road”. ‘Sam Riley’ will star as Kerouac’s alter ego ‘Sal Paradise‘. Garrett Hedlund has been cast as ‘Dean Moriarty’.

It was announced in 2009 that Garrett would play the leading role in the highly anticipated film ‘Tron Legacy’, a sequel to the 1982 film Tron.
