A Few Thoughts On Remember Me

Posted on 21:48 by Unknown
Tonight the wife and I saw Remember Me. The first things that come to mind are this:

1. Had the most realistic puking scenes, ever. They grossed me out. This is good. A person retching should never be a pleasurable viewing experience.

2. Edward Cullen -- Wait, ummm, I mean, Robert Pattinson. Yeah, that's right. The fact that he's the lead man from Twilight didn't turn me off. I've seen the first Twilight movie. Not my cup of tea, but nonetheless, he's a talented actor. I only hope he doesn't type-cast himself as the introvert emo with sad eyes. I enjoyed his screen time and find him compelling. Next Leo DiCaprio? I don't think so, but a talented up and comer.

3. Emilie De Ravin (Claire from Lost). Easy on the eyes and an accent that makes your ears smile. I'll watch every time. Not to mention she holds her own acting wise.

4. Irina Derevko. Well, that was the name of the character Lena Olin played on Alias. There's nothing bad about her performance, but she's a lot more fun to watch tormenting Sydney and her dad.

5. Ruby Jerins stole the show. Hands down a cuter kid than Dakota Fanning. What happened to her anyway? Glad to see someone was there to fill her shoes.

*Spoilers Starts Here*

Okay, the part that pissed me off. The ending. Tyler dies September 11th, 2001. You got it . . . In the World Trade Center. Honestly, the only thing I could think was that America has become a castrated Jew enslaved by Babylon. Can I please get Quinton Tarantino to make a movie set in an alternate universe, like Inglourious Basterds, where we're scalping Towel Heads. Dammit, I'm tired of all the pissing and moaning about it. Fill those frakkin holes and build a structure twice as high. Then I dare a Muslim to bring it down. I fear we've become the land of the cowards instead of the land of the brave.

*End of Spoilers*

Overall it was an enjoyable movie. My wife disagrees, but Remember Me seemingly had no plot, and pulled it off successfully. The end left me unsatisfied, therefore, I give it a B.

However, Remember Me does make my Top 5 for 2010. New rankings . . .

1. Shutter Island

2. The Crazies

3. Alice In Wonderland

4. Book of Eli

5. Remember Me

If I can talk my wife into it we may go see The Bounty Hunter . . .



If we do a review shall be posted. Go harass her at Keeping Up With the Westmorelands. Comment and let her know, she should be willing to see a movie I want to see, since I saw one she wanted to see. Until next time,

Adios and vaya con dios
