“Remember Me" in Moviehole's – Clint’s Top 10 Films of 2010
10. Remember Me
I remember getting an Atari for my 10th birthday. That was a big surprise. When I caught the top of those tiny ted joysticks atop of their black spongy controls, I knew my entry into double figure land was going to be one to remember. Wanna know what a bigger surprise was? ”Remember Me”! This truly out Gorfed Gorf and Swallowed Pac Man hole in terms of pleasant surprises – I kid you not. Say what you will about his sparkling work in those vampire pics, Robert Pattinson delivers one of the richest and most weighty performances of any actor this year with his uneasy son and lover at the center of director Allen Coulter’s love letter to 9/11 (yes, there is such a thing). Catch it on DVD – you’ll find it, unjustly, at the ‘bottom’ of the new releases shelf.
New/Old Videos + Pictures of Rob & Kristen from Vancouver (2009)
Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart arrive together in a taxi back at the pacific palisades hotel. Kristen's manager is also in the taxi, along with Twilight Eclipse director David Slade. I asked Rob "Can I get one quick picture?" and he replied "yeah sure" and I took one frame, changed camera orientations, and took a second one. He jokingly added "hey, you said just one!" after that and patted me on the back & said goodnight. The hotel is being converted to condos now.
Robert Pattinson leaves the metropole, a bar in the gastown neighborhood of vancouver, BC. he briefly looks at the camera and pops the collar up on his jacket, and runs his hands through his hair.

Movehole names 'Remember Me' as one of the "10 Great Films You Missed in 2010"
Remember Me
I know, I know, ‘but it’s got that guy with more gunk in his hair than Liz Hurley does in her nether regions’ but c’mon! many-a-good-actor have started out in the cinematic mailroom and graduated to an awe-impressive high-rise suite – just look at Robin ‘Mork’ Williams, Josh ‘Goonies’ Brolin, Tom ‘Bosom Buddies’ Hanks or Stephen ‘Evil Ed’ Geoffries! (Ok, bad example) – ain’t Robert Pattinson innocent until the gavel slams down!? This film, a heartrending relationship drama (it’s both about the rapport between a young couple and also one between a young man and his estranged father) that played to the tick of a 9/11 countdown, proved there’s much more to “Twilight” vamp Robert Pattinson than blank stares, sparkles and tree hopping. Quite simply, Pattinson was an eye-opener in this film. Skeptics need see it.
Kristen as Joan Jett makes #4 on MTV's "Favorite Fierce Heroines Of 2010"
4. Kristen Stewart in The RunawaysLet's be real: Not all of Kristen Stewart's roles are, er, strong female leads. (*Cough*Bella Swan is a whiner*cough*.) But her turn as real-life rocker Joan Jett in the musical biopic "The Runaways" was so fierce, all is forgiven.
'Remember Me' in Film.com 'Top Ten Movies of 2010' - "Remember Me was Massively Underrated"
ETA: Added article from LA Times - Overlook at the most underappreciated movies of the year. Remember Me is mentioned
Youth in Revolt was an innovative comedy, but it was released during a time period where people skip the theatrical experience. And if Remember Me had featured Ryan Gosling instead of Robert Pattinson it would have been correctly hailed as great. But people got far too caught up in the ending and Pattinson's celebrity to catch that he was really freaking good in this movie. Definitely worth a watch if you you're a fan of relationship dramas

Rob's named as one of EW's 30 Sexiest Stars of 2010
ROBERT PATTINSON (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse)
Yes, Edward's still dreamy enough to make a girl want to turn vampire to spend eternity with him, but honestly, we're never more drawn to Pattinson than when he's being himself, whether it's playfully arguing with Stewart on the Eclipse DVD commentary or going door-to-door in Chicago inviting Twihards to a taping of Oprah.
‘The Runaways’ included in Cinema Blend’s ’8 Most Unfairly Overlooked Movies of 2010′
The Runaways
When I reviewed the movie back in March I called Kristen Stewart a modern James Dean. I’m standing by that. If you’ve only seen her in Twilight, you’ve probably assumed the worst about the future vampire bride, but in The Runaways Stewart is stupendous as real life, fem rocker Joan Jett. The rest of the movie around her, isn’t bad either. It’s a real, seedy, drug-infested, sex-soaked rise to rock and roll fame tale, except all the rockers just happen to be girls. The film focuses primarily on the story of Runaways front girl Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning) as she’s indoctrinated into the rock and roll lifestyle, then sexed up to sell records by the zany, scene-stealing Michael Shannon as manager Ken Fowler. But it’s Stewart Joan Jett who will really capture your attention, and she ends up carrying the movie. Stewart’s Joan lives and breathes guitar licks, as the true talent behind the music. The rock and roll scenes are toe-tapping fun and the tale of an all girl band manufactured, unleashed, and then run aground is as interesting and fucked up as it ought to be. You’d think any movie starring Kristen Stewart would be an instant sensation, yet somehow her Twilight fandom never really seemed to notice she was in it. Maybe it was the film’s hard R-rating which scared the overly chase Twilight crowd away. Whatever the reason, while the movie earned positive reviews, once it was released no one seemed to notice.

Kristen is #7 on Forbes "Hollywood's Highest-Grossing Actors in 2010"
Forbes.com In Hollywood it's all about the box office. If your film brings in big bucks, expect producers, studios and casting directors to come calling. Here are the actors whose films grossed the most in 2010. We gave each star credit for the entire global box office of each film he or she starred in. We didn't count animated movies.
For the sake of this list, we're only looking at box office gross. We looked at the earnings for the top films of the year and credited each star the entire box office. So if an actor starred in two big movies (like DiCaprio did) he got credit for both. We did not include animated films, although they were some of the top-earning of the year, because the stars aren't really the big draw for those films.
Kristen Stewart- $698 million
Like her costar Pattinson, Stewart starred in a non-Twilight film this year. It didn’t perform very well though. The Runaways brought in only $4.7 million. The final Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, has been divided into two films that are both sure to be big earners. The first hits theaters in November 2011.
Rob is #6 on Forbes "Hollywood's Highest-Grossing Actors in 2010"

The Twilight films have been perennial earners, so it's no surprise to see Pattinson on this list. He ranks above his costar Kristen Stewart thanks to Remember Me, a weepy romance that earned a healthy $56 million on an estimated budget of $16 million. Pattinson's next film is an adaptation of the bestselling book Water for Elephants.
