Pattinson proves to have real bite in 'Remember Me'
By Yvonne Lanot
After being portrayed as the No. 1 hottest vampire around, Robert Pattinson made a surprising, yet refreshing new turn in the movie "Remember Me," a romantic drama set in the city of New York.
Pattinson plays Tyler Hawkins, a troubled 21-year-old who has issues with his father, Pierce Brosnan, and a past that keeps catching up with him. Tyler meets Ally Craig, played by Emilie de Ravin, who lost her mother when she was 10 and lives with her protective police father, played by Chris Cooper. The two leads fall in love, then have a falling out, all while Tyler tries to restore his family and prove that he is capable of loving someone.
While the movie had its twists, some parts of the movie were as predictable as a drama and cliché as a romance. It will, however, make people realize that they need to keep their loved ones as close as possible.
Pattinson played the challenging and complicated Tyler Hawkins very well. At first, people would immediately see Pattinson and think Edward Cullen from the movie "Twilight", but as the movie progressed, the Edward Cullen that made Pattinson the heartthrob he is quickly fades away and all that can be seen is Tyler Hawkins. It was refreshing to see this new acting side of Pattinson.
While his accent did seem to go in and out a few times through the movie, he proved to people that not only can he play a 107-year-old vampire in the hit "Twilight" series, but he is also capable of taking on tough roles that require him to take his acting to the next level.
While Pattinson stole most of the show, there were two characters who were close to Pattinson's acting ability.
Ruby Jerins plays Caroline Hawkins, Tyler's 11-year-old artistically talented little sister. Jerins' plays the character of Caroline with a lot of wit and likeability. Every time Pattinson and Jerins were in a shot together, it was extremely hard to focus on Pattinson when there was an 11-year-old telling him he smells like Listerine and beer.
Another character who matched Pattinson on the big screen was Pattinson's sidekick Aidan Hall, played by Tate Ellington.
Ellington offered the comic relief the film needed. When a scene was too dramatized by Pattinson, Ellington came to the rescue throwing out witty comments to lighten the mood and make people laugh. Every dramatic actor should have an Ellington by their side.
While there were other big names in this movie, Pattinson, Jerins and Ellington stole the movie . Pattinson's counterpart, de Ravin, turned out to be a good fit for Pattinson in a movie crucial to his acting career.
With Pattinson in a new light, and a few actors on the rise, "Remember Me" turned out to be a very memorable movie that will have people wanting to hold on to their family and loved ones a little tighter.
