Remember Me - probably the most misunderstood film of the year
Rope of Silicon made some honorable mentions in their top ten movies of 2010 and one of them is Remember me. "Perhaps the most misunderstood film of the year. People called the ending a "twist" which I guess means any time you're walking around your house and you stub your toe it's a twist because you didn't expect to do it. This movie presented events in a way no other film has dared to try, the same way we lived it, without knowing and without warning. And I applaud it for having the guts to do so"

New Robert Pattinson Pic. Need We Say More?!
We'll keep this short, as we know most of you really don't want to divert your eyes away from the above never-before-seen pic any longer than you have to.
Photographer Stewart Shining, who recently shot Robert Pattinson for the cover of Italian Vanity Fair, posted this sexy outtake on Christmas Day with a tweet that read: "I was just thinking this would be my motto for the new year, and a nice Xmas present for the RPatt fans."
OK. That's all. Resume staring.
IFC predicts 'On The Road' will be one of The Top Ten Films of 2011
"On the Road"
Directed by Walter Salles
The Jack Kerouac Beat classic finally gets a modern screen redo from the makers of the "Motorcycle Diaries," Brazilian director Walter Salles and Puerto Rican writer Jose Rivera. Starring Sam Riley ("Control") as Sal Paradise and Garrett Hedlund ("Tron: Legacy") as Dean Moriarty, the film follows the two young men journeying across North America in search of themselves. The film features an impressive cast of supporting players, including Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen as Old Bull Lee, considered to be a stand-in for William Burroughs. "There is a strange modernity to the theme," Salles told CNN. "And maybe 'On the Road' is more contemporary today than it ever was."
'Breaking Dawn' As No.2 In MTV's Top 5 Films For 2011
Okay, so this one's a no-brainer. We cannot wait for the fourth installment of the "Twilight" saga—our No. 2 most anticipated film of 2011—to hit theaters November 18.
Like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" before it, we suspect that the splitting point between Parts 1 and 2 will be a well-guarded secret. It's likely, however, that the first movie will end around the start of Book Three: the dividing line between Bella's human and vampire life.
We can already visualize the possibilities. Bella reaches for the cup of blood, unleashes a bloodcurdling scream and the screen goes blank! Or, Edward delivers the baby, turns to Bella, murmurs, "Renesmee" (signifying that the baby is not the boy Bella dreamed of, but a girl) and the screen goes blank! Or perhaps Bella endures the burning transformation, her heart dramatically stops beating, she opens her vampire eyes for the first time…and the screen goes blank! You get the picture.
Another dramatic breaking point could be slightly later, once Bella is happily settled into her new vampire existence. Alice foresees that the Volturi will come to destroy Renesmee and the Cullen clan, understandably causing mass panic. When Jacob arrives and asks what’s wrong, Bella gravely tells him, "It's over. We've all been sentenced to die." And, er, you guessed it—the screen goes blank. This scenario wouldn’t leave as much plot for the final movie, however the real action in "Breaking Dawn" begins after this moment.
Wherever Part 1 ends, there are some moments that we cannot wait to see interpreted by Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and the gang. Firstly, Bella's wedding dress is sure to be a showstopper. We know that it's inspired by early 20th century styles, made of thin satin and cut in an inverted calla lily shape that gently hugs Bella's body. Countless designers have come up with their visions, and we have a feeling it’ll be as unique as Bella's ring.
Of course, after three movies full of seriously sensual kissing scenes, we’re eagerly anticipating Bella and Edward’s feather-filled honeymoon, especially since the first official movie still hints at this climactic moment.
The La Push pack’s mind communication also presents an interesting challenge. A lot of the werewolf plot in "Breaking Dawn" occurs while the Quileutes are in wolf form, communicating via thoughts. It will be interesting to see how screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and director Bill Condon decide to show these moments onscreen.
Two other complex aspects of translating the book to screen are creating vampire Bella and Renesmee. "New Moon" offers a glimpse of post-transformation Bella, so we have high expectations for KStew’s ability to alter her voice, expressions and composure to convincingly portray a vampire. As well, we know that 9-year-old Mackenzie Foy has been cast as Renesmee, but how on earth will she be convincingly transformed into a baby? Well, we'll just have to wait until November 2011—or 2012—to find out.

Kristen Stewart has The Most Glam Gown in 2010
While Nina, Lea, and Drew weren’t far behind– YOU chose K-Stew’s frock as your fave from the past year!
I rounded up 20 of the most glam gowns we saw in 2010, and while I couldn’t get enough of Drew Barrymore in Atelier Versace and Kate Hudson in Pucci, at the end of the day Kristen Stewart takes home the title! The Twilight star has a penchant for minis on the red carpet, but she looked sophisticated and chic at the Oscars when she turned up in a custom-made strapless Monique Lhuillier gown. With her hair swept back, the midnight blue chiffon looked elegant — it was so nice to see K-Stew in something so glam! The actress kept the focus on the frock, pairing the get-up with a diamond bracelet by H. Stern.

Rob is Popsugar's Sexiest Man of The Year
Sexiest Man: Robert Pattinson
The playing field wasn't quite as even for sexiest male, as Robert Pattinson easily earned another win. His closest competition was Alexander Skarsgard.
Rob and Kristen Dominate Popsugar '2010 Readers' Choice'
Favorite Male: Robert Pattinson
Robert flexed his acting muscles outside of the Twilight saga when he scored the role Water for Elephants. His charming smile is just one reason he's your favorite male celebrity of 2010.
Favorite Female: Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart was trailing Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie out of the gate, but the Twilight heroine is your favorite female star.
No surprise here: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are your sexiest duo of 2010, with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in a very distant second.
Best Beard: Robert Pattinson
The favorite beard competition was fierce and for a while, Robert was trailing Jake Gyllenhall, but the Twilight fans pulled through and crowned Pattinson king of the facial hair.
Shirtless: Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson stripped down to give us a look at his abs in November, just in time to make — and win!
'Water For Elephants' As No.3 In MTV's Top 5 Films For 2011
When the name Robert Pattinson comes up for discussion, a lot of people don’t remember him for his small part as Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” Only the die-hard fans have watched the tear-jerking “Remember Me” over and over, and did anyone ever see “Little Ashes“? The 24-year-old British heartthrob is best known for playing Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga,” dating costar Kristen Stewart, and to haters and skeptics alike, is seen as just another hot guy that likes to suck blood.
Movie buffs willing to give Rob the benefit of the doubt have been holding their breath to see him prove himself as a serious actor. We’re pretty sure 2011 is the year he’ll do just that. Yes, he’ll be reprising his vampire persona in “Breaking Dawn” and showing a more serious side in the period piece “Bel Ami,” but his role in our No. 3 film for 2011, “Water for Elephants,” is what will solidify his place in Hollywood’s shining spotlight.
It’s hard not to be excited for the April 22 release. The film adaptation of Sara Gruen’s No. 1 New York Times best selling novel follows Jacob Jankowski, a white collar veterinarian student who drops out of Cornell during his senior finals following a family tragedy. He finds himself accidentally joining the rag-tag Benzini Brothers Circus after jumping a midnight train and zig-zags across the country, making unlikely friends, finding forbidden love and seeing the dark side of the greatest show on earth. It’s the stuff every good movie is made of. Oh, did we forget to mention that Rob looks smokin’ hot, too?
The movie has already garnered a little bit of Oscar buzz for Rob’s performance, and the trailer alone is enough to give you goose-bumps. Academy Award winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz helm the film with Rob, which promises to give you the same thrill of finding a prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.

‘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 going to the People's Choice Awards!
With Eclipse leading the People's Choice Awards nominations, many are wondering who from that good-lookin' cast will be there to represent since, Breaking Dawn filming is going strong over in Louisiana.
Well, we just heard one Twilight star that will be making an appearance...
Kristen Stewart!
And we're sure there are more Twilight names to come.
Sources close to the show tell us that—as of now—our fave young starlet is set to be in attendance.
Yay! How we've missed seeing K.Stew glam it up on carpets.
There have already been some Twitter rumblings from girls in the fashion industry pulling outfit choices for Kris, so we're assuming it's gotta be for the PCA's (although all of Hollywood is currently on the hunt for Golden Globes dresses too, but uh, there are no Eclipse nom's there).
The People's Choice Awards are Jan. 5 in Los Angeles.
The cast will obviously get some time off from filming Breaking Dawn over Christmas, but we doubt Stewart will get as much of a break as she did last year.
Remember, she spent her free time in England with BF Robert Pattinson, of course. The two spent New Year's Eve together on the Isle of Wight after Kristen did Christmas with Pattinson's family. You all knew that right? Presh!
No word quite yet whether Rob will be at the People's Choice Awards too, but we'll keep ya posted.
We've put in a call to Stewart's rep to see if we can get official comment on her PCA appearance but have yet to hear back.

Reese Witherspoon talks a little bit more about Rob.
Reese Witherspoon became a household name in the late '90s with a string of scene-stealing turns in films like "Pleasantville" and "Election." Around the same time, Leonardo DiCaprio was transforming from teen heartthrob to mature Hollywood A-lister, thanks to the nearly $2 billion success of "Titanic."
Over a decade later, Witherspoon has been thinking back to that pop culture period. It's the only way she can make sense of the overwhelming popularity of her "Water for Elephants" co-star Robert Pattinson.
"The only thing I can compare it to is when Leo was in 'Titanic,' " she told MTV News while promoting her upcoming movie "How Do You Know." "It was that kind of fervor about a person. The women lining up outside the set — it was just unbelievable — till 5 o'clock in the morning waiting to just glimpse him."
The Tennessee set of "Water for Elephants" was basically no different than what happens when the "Twilight" vamp goes anywhere. As director Francis Lawrence told us in the fall, "[E]very day there would be, like, 50 people [staked out] ... . [T]here would be people camped out in the hallways of our hotel. All day, all night long, it didn't matter. People were there to try to catch a glimpse."
Witherspoon, of course, got an up-close-and-personal glimpse of RPattz, and she was happy to report back to us: "He is extraordinarily attractive. I'm not gonna lie," she said.
"Robert is such a great guy from a great family," she explained. "That's the thing that's so funny. He's not really this bad boy; he's just a great guy and really worked hard on 'Water for Elephants.' He really worked long hours, long days. He looks totally different in the movie."

New/Old video of Rob&Kristen after New Moon cast party (The day of Rob's B-Day)
The entire cast of Twilight: New Moon enjoyed a dinner together at Blue Water Cafe in Vancouver's trendy Yaletown neighbourhood. This is the video of them leaving.
Reese Witherspoon talks about Rob and mentions Kristen.
Reese Witherspoon talks about Rob: "He's a very, very handsome man, a very sensitive soul"
As a circus performer in the 2011 drama Water for Elephants, Reese Witherspoon gets in the ring with her film paramour, movie veterinarian Robert Pattinson.
"I'm not gonna lie. He's a very, very handsome man," Witherspoon tells USA TODAY's Donna Freydkin.
The two had co-starred in the 2004 costume drama Vanity Fair. And yes, times have changed for Pattinson, who's now a reluctant heartthrob thanks to the blockbuster Twilight movie series.
"The fervor and madness and girls waiting at 5 a.m. on a set in the middle of nowhere just to see him," recalls Witherspoon, of their shoot. "He's sweet and loving and has the nicest family. Kristen (Stewart, Pattinson's girlfriend) is really sweet, too. He's a very sensitive soul. He worked really hard. He looks great in the movie, too."
Her daughter Ava, 11, met Pattinson, but wasn't smitten because she hasn't read the books yet. Witherspoon thought she was too young. "I really liked them, me and all my 30-year-old friends! I love the books," she says.
As for Witherspoon, does she have it written into her contracts that all her costars have to be hunky males?
"I do. How did you find that out? Someone's gotta do it. It's like America's Test Kitchen, but for making out with hot co-stars. I do it for the girls. I love my job. They're all really good guys. And I know all their girlfriends," she smiles.

Rob Pattinson & Kristen Stewart: All Work, No Beers
If Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were ever bothered by the constant paparazzi and tabloid attention to their private lives during the making of Eclipse, director David Slade says he didn't know anything about it.
And even if he did, Slade wasn't about to get involved in any of the dramarama.
It's not that he didn't care, but…
"We had a very tight schedule so there wasn't much time to be too sympathetic, to be honest," Slade told me earlier today while promoting this week's release of the Eclipse DVD (out Dec. 4). "We had to go. We had to shoot. We had shoot after shoot after shoot. We had a 50-day schedule which isn't normally what you have for a film of this scale.
"So we just had to crack on," he continued. "If anything, there wasn't time to go, 'How are you feeling today? Are you all right? What's going on?'"
They were so busy that Slade says he never even had the chance to get to know Pattinson, Stewart and the rest of the cast too well. "All the time we spent together was working," he said. "We never hung out and had a beer. We were rehearsing. If we weren't rehearsing, we were shooting. If we weren't rehearsing or shooting, we were sleeping."
Even so, maybe we'll see Slade directing another Twilight movie one of these days? Sure, the Breaking Dawn flicks are supposed to be the last two installments of the megahit vampire franchise, but Slade laughed, "There was only going to be three James Bond movies, right?"
So, do you think Breaking Dawn should be the end of Twilight or should it go on Bond-style? Sound off below.
And that's not all I have for you from Mr. Slade. Make sure to come back here tomorrow to find out about the scenes that didn't make it into the movie, what he would do with Breaking Dawn and so much more.

Leslie Nielsen wanted to spoof Robert Pattinson
On Sunday evening, Leslie Nielsen's nephew announced that his famous uncle died peacefully in his sleep while in Fort Lauderdale, Florida just days after being admitted to the hospital for pneumonia.
The legendary star of "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun" was 84.
Today, as Hollywood mourns the loss of a legend, news is circulating that Leslie Nielsen had no plans of hanging up his funny bone despite his escalating age.
Sources close to the "Naked Gun" star report that Leslie Nielsen wanted desperately to parody the Twilight series.
"Leslie was a big Robert Pattinson fan," a source confirms. "He would have loved to work with Robert on a Twilight parody."
Nielsen, of course, was no stranger to funny vampire flicks. The star of "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" was enamored of horror flick spoofs and frequently commented on films "ripe for parody."
Sadly, we will never see what Leslie Nielsen could have done with Robert Pattinson's iconic character "Edward Cullen."
But we can rest assured that it would have been funny.
Caught! Rob and Kristen Do It Deli-Style
As we told you last week, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson did end up spending their holiday break (from Breaking Dawn) together.
What would you expect a totally in love couple to do?
Rob and Kristen were spotted out together in Los Angeles over the weekend, at a low-key hang:
An employee confirms to E! the on- and off-screen couple stopped by Roxy's Famous Deli in the San Fernando Valley on Friday night.
The gorg duo apparently flew way under the radar, and was left pretty much alone, says an onlooker who, well, really didn't care (or care to gawk).
No wonder Robsten much prefers hanging in the Valley! Kristen is always over there, and goes fairly unnoticed.
Stewart's parents live on the other side of the debauched Hollywood Hills, so we assume that's where R. and K. spent Thanksgiving. Because we hear they did spend it together.
For you Twi-Hards keeping track (and bitching in today's mail), Saturday is when there was another Rob sighting out in Hollywood.
Glad these babes are getting some down time together before they head back to Louisiana.

French horror hit 'Martyrs' will undergo an American exorcism
EXCLUSIVE: Cineastes and hardcore horror fans are already familiar with the French film "Martyrs," Pascal Laugier's dark and violent tale centering on two teenage girls who are not what they appear to be.
Now broader American audiences could become familiar with the movie too.
Producers on the Hollywood remake have just hired a director: Daniel Stamm, the filmmaker behind this summer's horror hit "The Last Exorcism," will shape the film for an English-language audience. (Oh, yes, the movie comes from the producers of "Twilight.")
As most horror-crazy types could tell you, Laugier's 2008 original was a hit in Europe and a cult success here. It tells of Lucie and Anna, orphans who establish a friendship, until one of them inexplicably goes on a murderous rampage to avenge what may or may not have been earlier incidents of child abuse. The movie was well received for not only its stylish tone but its exploration of the themes of guilt and repression.
We'll have more Tuesday from Stamm, one of the horror world's up-and-coming stars (he's also directing the next movie in M. Night Shyamalan's "Night Chronicles"). In the meantime, here's what he has to say about how "Martyrs" can be translated for a new audience.

"Martyrs is very nihilistic," he told 24 Frames. "The American approach [that I'm looking at] would go through all that darkness but then give a glimmer of hope. You don't have to shoot yourself when it's over."
Stamm did dismiss the Internet rumor that Kristen Stewart could be starring in the remake, laughing and quizzically saying that it's "the first time I've heard that."
As for the movie's story, Stamm says that its appeal lies in how it defies expectations.
"Every time you think you know where it's going, it goes somewhere else. It plays on things that are familiar — like two friends who can't be separated, kind of a Forrest Gump and Jenny situation. But then it takes a turn, and in doing so asks interesting quesitons. 'If you have a best friend in the world and she goes crazy, how much do you owe this friend to go down with them?' It's much more than a horror film."
