Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart soundtrack good luck charms? How To Be, Adventureland, Twilight

So The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Kristen Stewart had her say in the Twilight soundtrack, effectively propelling Iron & Wine's whimsical "Flightless Bird" to the homes of millions (while co-star Nikki Reed and director Catherine Hardwicke helped to coax Robert Pattinson into putting some of his own work on there too). 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 (like myself) who think fondly of the 1980's.

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.

As for Robert Pattinson, his work on the Twilight soundtrack (as well as that of song-writers Bobby Long, Marcus Foster, and Sam Bradley - his long-time friends) might have, okay, did have something do with that album's sucess, which was paramount in 2008 and saw repeated success with the release of its deluxe edition as well. He is featured, this year, on the How to Be soundtrack in 3 songs. Though part of the animus for the thus-far successful sales of the album may be the fact that a select few (very few; 250, in fact) pre-orderers will be getting their hands on a Robert Pattinson-autographed copy, in large part it is due to the ever-growing fanbase for Rob's musical gifts. Whether or not he is on the Little Ashes soundtrack is yet to be seen.

Meanwhile, they, alongside Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, and Kellan Lutz sit pretty on the top of the IMDb STARmeter list (see here) and Robert Pattinson's chances of success with a new Indie album continues to rise (see here). It's hell being perfect, for these two!
