Film Review: Visceral ‘On the Road’ Honors a Great American Novel
23 March 2013 5:06 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The 1957 novel “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac, was a missile across the bow of American social conventions, and a precursor to the radical 1960s. For over fifty years, it has eluded a film adaptation, until director Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) found the way to capture it.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
It is a reverential depiction, with all the familiar characters from the novel springing to life. And that is the key word here…life. This adaptation is life itself, which is what the novel embraces. Somehow, by just indulging in the characters and their lifeblood, Walter Salles – in partnership with his screenwriter Jose Rivera – was able to understand what makes this story tick. It is about youth, discovery and the consequences regarding all of that. It is about the relationship between two kindred souls, not part of a lost generation, but part of everything that is discovered when challenging the society they are born into. »

Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road was completed in 1951, first published in 1957... and it finally got a film adaptation, arriving in U.S. movie theaters this Friday (with VOD premiere the following Monday).

Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of “it” -- the pure essence of experience.

DVD Review: 'On the Road'
26 February 2013 7:40 AM, PST | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Following the success of Walter Salles and Jose Rivera's last collaboration, 2004 Guevara biopic The Motorcycle Diaries, the duo set about tackling Jack Kerouac's apparently 'unfilmable', revered Beat Generation bible On the Road. Starring Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart, as well as a plethora of recognisable supporting cameos, Salles' elegantly-shot adaptation captures the beauty of the open road, yet fails to traverse its source material's rambling and incredibly conceited methodology. Riley plays Kerouac's fictional cipher Sal Paradise, a young writer living in post-war America, struggling to find inspiration.

On The Road DVD Review
25 February 2013 3:30 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Walter Salles
Starring: Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams
Running time: 137 minutes
Certificate: 15
Walter Salles has a respectable history with discovery and change, he’s previously given us The Motorcycle Diaries and so with his take on the Jack Kerouac novel On The Road, there was a decent level of expectation and hope despite the book having that ‘un-filmable’ cloud hanging over its head. I think it’s important to confess that I haven’t read the novel, yet, but I do know that this adaption of On The Road is based on Kerouac’s real-life experiences. In the film, we’re set in the late 1940s and see Sal Paradise/Jack Kerouac (Sam Riley) roam freely on four wheels between New York, Denver, San Francisco and New Orleans in the 1940s with his friend Neal Cassady/Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund).

Blu-ray Review: On The Road

Stars: Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Sturridge, Viggo Mortensen | Written by Jose Rivera | Directed by Walter Salles
Another piece of great literature comes to the big screen, in the form of Jack Kerouac’s road-novel On The Road, telling the story of two friends as they travel all over post-World War Two USA. Kerouac’s work is possibly one of the most famous pieces of travel writing, but also of what is known as the ‘Beat Generation’, so it’ll be interesting to see how the film adaptation is received. I personally have not read the whole thing, so came to it with the limited knowledge of only have started it a while back.

Go "On The (Long) Road" Again
1 February 2013 10:46 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
On The Road can best be likened to one of the highways and byways traversed by the characters in the movie: long, meandering, occasionally hazardous, long, full of interesting sights and sounds, and long.
Fortunately it’s not the interminable sort of long one encounters in a movie like The Master or 30 Minutes or Less, in which you’re hoping, begging for the projector to break or there to be a fire or an asteroid that strikes the theater, anything to save you from seeing the rest of the movie. Watching Sal Paradise and his pals bounce from place to place across the United States, you are just occasionally struck by the thought “Wait, is this actually going anywhere?”

Kristen Stewart: It’s Fun To Have Freedom & Happy Accidents
18 January 2013 1:22 PM, PST | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
In a new interview, Kristen reveals that ‘it’s fun to have freedom’ in acting, and how over-thinking things can make you mess up. Is her art imitating her life?
Kristen Stewart had a tough year in 2012, because she nearly lost her relationship with Robert Pattinson over her summer affair with her married director Rupert Sanders. Kristen gave a poignant interview to Elle magazine before her affair was revealed, where she said that she her “life is so f**king perfect”, and she was waiting for “someone to f**k me over.” People immediately assumed that she was tempting fate. Now in a new interview released on Jan. 17, Kristen talks about filming On The Road, and she reveals how it’s “fun to have freedom and have, like, happy accidents” and how she was afraid she would “regret this entire experience.” Is Kristen’s work starting to reflect her troubled love life? »

In December, HitFix sat down with Sam Riley ("Control") to chat about his role as Sal Paradise/Jack Kerouac in "On the Road." Directed by Walter Salles ("Central Station," "The Motorcycle Diaries."), Riley takes on the lead character in this adaptation of the semi-autobiographical work by Kerouac. While Riley doesn't do an impersonation of Kerouac in the film, the English actor does tell us a little about how the accent came about and some of the difficulties inherent in taking on the part. He discusses watching the Salles-directed documentary about "On the Road" and having to step »
