WhatsPlaying Gives RM 4 Stars
Well here I go on my soapbox again. Clint Morris, you might remember his review for Moviehole a few days ago, has done yet another gushing review for What’sPlaying (in case Aussies don’t know this is a great homegrown website for movie news etc).  I so love this quote below – haha regulars to the site will think that perhaps I have actually suggested this to him – I swear I didn’t:
“No offense to Twilight or its sequels (in fact, I’ve found the films perfectly entertaining), but a scene from any of the flicks isn’t something an artiste would ever likely attach as a wmv file to their email application to Julliard. Perfectly OK film, but its more style over substance, and quite frankly, there’s nothing much for its stars to do but frown, gaze, eyeball or whimper. As a consequence, we haven’t really seen whether or not Robert ‘good guy vampire Edward’ Pattinson has what it takes as an actor (considering he does more sparkling than performing in the latter films). We know he’s got perfect hair, and he’s definitely got enough charisma on-screen and off to convincingly win over his leading lady, but is the young Brit capable of delivering a performance that’d make those decrepit wrinkled film fans at the Kodak theatre sit up and take notice?
We now have the answer. And, it’s Yes.
Pattinson’s turn as the forlorn, love-struck and appreciably human Tyler in Remember Me is the role that’ll turn the young actor from a movie star to an ‘actor’.“
Ok the only thing I wouldn’t agree with above is that I already knew that Rob was capable of delivering a performance – you can see that in Little Ashes – and for me Rob has always been an “actor” not a “movie star”. If you want to read the full review click  here. I have to warn there might be spoilers so read at your own risk.

This review is so great. Finally people are opening their eyes & realising what is so so obvious to us all.
Agree Maria, only criticism I have for you Clint is your point about ‘we haven’t really seen whether or not Robert Pattinson has what it takes as an actor’ Ah yes we have Clint, those of us who have been fans of Rob’s for years that is. Those of us who were here long long before Twilight (& yes – shock horror, he did exist before Twilight – hard for some to comprehend clearly.) Those of us who have seen every single movie he has made. Yep we know Rob has what it takes alright. We are already well aware of just how extremely talented & brilliant this man is. He doesn’t have to prove anything to us, nothing.

@SR exactly how I feel. It feels a bit like graduation day for one of my sons. *pass the tissues* So proud!
Oh and I especially like the last line of the review:
‘Remember Me is the first great film of 2010. Not to be missed.’
Amen!
