1. Yep, i'm still still an avid film watcher and part time insomniac.
2. I have just watched Remember Me, and would like to say on record, wow.
Okay, if im completely honest, my only interest in this film originally came out of a desire to catch Twilight heartthrob, Pattinson, not being able to act. Well, i couldn't have been wronger! This film was a total revelation for me. He is charismatic, sincere, natural and effortlessly charming (even when he's terrifying 10 year old school girls!).
On first appearances this film seems like an over analysed piece of self indulgence. However, in reality, it is gritty, painful and unsuspected. The cast of actors is well chosen; natural and likeable. The story builds to a climax which had me literally gasping in shock. Infact, it is so brave an ending that the film almost cannot carry it and, sort of, fizzles out in a sequence of short poignant scenes.
That aside, this is a deeply real and saddening story acted and executed expertly.
British boy Robert can be pleased as punch that there is life after vampirism.
My rating: **** 4/5 stars
Recommendation: Give it a chance - not too much pouting to be seen!
