Remember Me...Executive Producer: ROBERT PATTINSON

I need to warn you right now. This blog will have some spoilers about the movie. So if you have yet to see it, then read no further until you have.

Before I begin, I need you to know that I have been anticipating this movie since the script made its way into my inbox. I read the first scene (and only the first scene), and already knew that I was going to love it.

Thus, when I learned where it was being filmed, it was a no-brainer that I would make the effort to drive down to New York City.  I was literally like a damn paparazzi. I've never been that crazy about something before. Well, that's actually a lie, but we're not talking about Twilight. :P

So I drove with my cousin to NYC and we spent the day being fangirls.  It's an experience I will NEVER forget or regret. (Click HERE for my blog about that crazy day).  I may not have seen the entire film being shot, but all my obsessing gave me a glimpse into a movie that I just knew was going to be great.  I knew ROB was going to be great.

Today...I was not disappointed.

From the moment Remember Me began, I was riveted (to steal a line from Tyler's mouth). I just couldn't look away.

The performances from all the actors contributed to the intensity of this film, but it was Robert Pattinson (HANDS DOWN) who stole the show.

A story wrapped around unlikely lovers, tortured soul, Tyler Hawkins, meets his match when Ally Craig forces him to actually start living and stop simply existing.

So it is most unfortunate that just when things are finally beginning to fall properly into place the world literally comes tumbling down.

What am I talking about?  Well, consider the fact that the setting of this movie is centered around September 11, 2001. Yes, you read that correctly.



On a day when he was going to make peace with his father, and had finally admitted to Ally that he loved her, Tyler's world came to an end in one of the Twin Towers.

And that, my friends, is why Remember Me had/has me in awe.

Robert Pattinson, you are truly an actor who is unclear of his own talent. You captivate your audience with even the simplest of performances.  And I'm not just saying that because I adore you implicitly.  It is simply the truth.

That is all.

  2. Thanks CLP, I agree Red. I actually yelled out when it finally struck me as to how he dies. I was just totally taken aback :(
