Robert Pattinson - Remember Me review from Manny the Movie Guy

There are a few spoilers, so read with care...

"Remember Me" Movie Review! How Many Kisses Does Robert Pattinson Get?



Confession Time – I was never a fan of Robert Pattinson. I am basing that assessment on the actor’s most famous role to date, the lovelorn vampire Edward in the “Twilight” films. I thought he delivered wooden performances in both movies.

But after watching Pattinson in the new film “Remember Me,” I can now honestly say, I’m intrigued by this actor. He carried the movie from its shaky start to its heart wrenching conclusion.

Unlike his “Twilight” co-star, Taylor Lautner, Pattinson is making brave career choices. While Lautner will soon be busy working on standard thrillers like “Abduction” or sure-fire blockbusters like “Stretch Armstrong,” Pattinson will bury himself in art-house films like “Bel Ami” and “”Water for Elephants.”

Taking a cue from Johnny Depp, Pattinson peppers his resume with iconic roles such as Edward, and memorable characters like the one he played in “Remember Me.” He stars as Tyler, a rebel with a cause who has serious daddy issues.

His father, Charles Hawkins (played perfectly by Pierce Brosnan), is a rich, powerful businessman who spends most of his time in the office and less with his family. After a tragedy separated the Hawkins, Tyler and his sister Caroline (the amazing Ruby Jerins), divide their time between their dad, and their newly-married mother (the underused Lena Olin).

Leonardo DiCaprio talks comparisons with Robert Pattinson



Here's the part of the interview that mentions Rob:

Leonardo DiCaprio has little to worry about these days, having long gotten over the career bump that was Titanic. Up to that point, the young turk was carving out a career as a beautiful, beguiling character actor. Suddenly, he was a star. His previous outing, Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet lit the fuse, DiCaprio suddenly a pin-up of every young girl's wall. The tragic role of Jack in Titanic was enough for the young Leonardo DiCaprio's career to explode. To the point where the 23-year old actor couldn't step outside his door without the paparazzi photographing his every move. And the world constantly contemplating his next move.

A bit like Robert Pattinson after Twilight broke. Only even more mental.

"I can see it happening with Robert Pattinson, absolutely," laughs DiCaprio, "and it brings back such happy, and crappy, memories. Your life isn't your own when that kind of stardom happens, and you have tabloids every day making up stories about you.

"It's not exactly what an actor dreams of, because your anonymity is gone."

Suddenly, you're Elvis, and that means playing someone else for an audience is nigh on impossible. DiCaprio addressed the issue by playing a variation of himself at that time in Woody Allen's Celebrity, but when he tried to actually act in 1998's The Man In The Iron Mask and 2000's The Beach, audiences just wanted more Jack. Or more Romeo. More Leo.

Robert Pattinson Exclusive Video Interview from Collider


Robert Pattinson Exclusive Video Interview REMEMBER ME

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub

Last week I got to interview Robert Pattinson for his new movie Remember Me. Since he’s answered every possible question regarding the Twilight franchise and his other upcoming projects, what I decided to do was ask the people who follow me on Twitter to supply me with questions. While I knew I’d get a few things to ask…I was not prepared for the amount of emails and tweets that would be sent my way. I was blown away.

Since so many of you asked about certain things like would he do a commentary on the Remember Me DVD and what was up with his music, I didn’t single out any one person when I asked the questions. Just know I read every single email and tweet you sent in. Saying that, I mentioned who provided me with the first question, and we also talked about what he’d like to do if he had a free day in New York City and will he ever get into social networking. If you’re a fan of Robert Pattinson, I’m confident you’ll like this interview as I made sure to ask a few things that haven’t previously been asked.

I believe this was the interview where I asked the interviewer on Twitter to ask Rob "Do you Remember Me?" - oh, I make myself laugh!

Robsessed Mentioned On STV.tv



From STV.tv

The popular Twilight star Robert Pattinson has scores of die-hard fans who follow his every move. One of the most faithful is Goz, who runs a blog called ROBsessed (robsessedpattinson.com). (Kate: Go Goz, Go Goz)

ROBsessed publishes updates about the activities of the vampire actor which are followed by thousands of fans worldwide.

Meanwhile, a film maker and distributor called Revolver Entertainment decided to produce a DVD documentary about 23-year-old Robert’s life, called ROBSESSED.

To support their new DVD – which was exclusively launched through ASDA this week – it built a website, called robsessed.co.uk.

However, Robert Pattinson fans were not happy.

The showbiz website Gossip Cop said: “Many supporters of ROBsessedPattinson.com brought to our attention the site’s claim that Revolver Entertainment, the company behind the DVD, had lifted material from their site to market the unauthorized DVD.”

Gossip Cop called Revolver for comment and while the American arm of the business said the content of the site was “original”, when they called the London office, the disputed content suddenly disappeared.

Gossip Cop added: “We’re very encouraged to see fans stand up to shameless profiteering, especially when the offending party has wronged not only the celebrity, but also the fans who put time and effort into content without intending to make a dollar from it."

A statement from Revolver Entertainment on the ROBSESSED site reads: “We would like to make an official apology to all those who took offence to the publication of the syndicated feeds previously published on this site.

“Our intention was never to cause offence but simply to provide a single point of call which presents all available Robert Pattinson news in one convenient place for the use of the fans.

“We firmly believe that this is a film which Pattinson fans will enjoy and feel saddened that it would be judged before having been seen. However, we are confident that once the fans have the chance to see the film that they will embrace it.”

PLEASE NOTE: We received the apology above from Revolver when the "unfortunate incident" happened. We accepted it and have no hard feelings towards them.

Thanks to Gossip Cop and STV.tv & Big thanks to Meredith for sending us the link!
