MTV talks Rob in Little Ashes/Request the Movie in Your Area

First I want to give a shout out to my peeps in Atlanta and encourage other to phone their local "Art" theatres and request Little Ashes! :) Apparently Midtown Art has been getting an extremely large amount of requests for the movie. Here is what our friend Susan wrote us:

I phoned the Atlanta Landmark Midtown Art Cinema and was told tickets will go one sale 6/1/09. The movie will screen approx. 5 times/day; run for 1 week unless there is enough interest to hold it over longer. Based on the number of calls they've received so far they are expecting packed shows!

YES WE CAN! :)) If you want to see the movie in your area you can use our comments section to decide on which movie theatre y'all want to shower with your phone calls!

Okay onto Larry Carrol's Review from MTV.com:

I’ve gotta say: I’m pretty impressed. As much as we all love to talk about Rob around these parts, the fact is that little is known about his actual acting talents. He was fine in the “Harry Potter” films, and obviously got the job done in “Twilight,” but until an actor has the chance to show off some versatility, it’s hard to speculate on his long-term prospects.

Nevertheless, even the haters have to respect RPattz for taking on such a daring role. Most teen idols would never go anywhere near “Little Ashes,” if only for fear of being taken seriously while wearing a Salvador Dali moustache. Factor in the accent, the fact that it’s a period film, and Dali’s gay romance with poet Federico Garcia Lorca (Javier Beltran), and Rob seems like the kind of brave young actor who is all too rare in Hollywood today.

A quick tale, without naming names: Once upon a time, I wrote a story on a certain teen heartthrob. In the article, I mentioned that the teenager was chain-smoking cigarettes on the set, because I was trying to convey his desire to be taken seriously as a grown-up actor. Within hours of the story going live, I was inundated with phone calls telling me I needed to take the story down or I’d ruin his image.

Due to that, perhaps, I’ve gotta say it’s cool to see a clip that has RPattz unapologetically dangling a cigarette from his mouth. This is a grown-up movie about a grown-up subject, and RPattz’s lack of desire to “manage” his image speaks volumes about how far he might go as an actor.

“Little Ashes” will begin its limited release on May 8th. Personally, I can’t wait to see it.
