Robert Pattinson Spending Post-Christmas Time With Sister

»
Having been busy filming several movies the last 12 months, Robert Pattinson decided to spend some quality time with his family. The Edward Cullen of "Twilight Saga" film series was snapped on Monday afternoon, December 28 enjoying a stroll alongside her older sister Lizzy in the countryside of London.
In the photos posted by Gossip Center, the British actor exposed his unkempt side during the outing as he was seen showing off his patchy beard. Donning a dark knit hat matched with a brown shirt, a blue jacket, and jeans, the 23-year-old apparently tried to do his best to avoid the waiting paparazzi. On the contrary, Lizzy remained calm when facing the shutterbugs.
Lizzy is Pattinson's sister who used to dress him as a girl and introduce him to others as Claudia until he was 12 years old. The Cedric Diggory of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" himself has told Life

Mother and Child
Opens: 2010
Cast: Naomi Watts, Annette Bening, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington
Director: Rodrigo Garcia
Summary: A tale of a mother and daughter, separated at birth, who struggle with the damage done by the most important person missing in their lives while a young African-Americn woman deals with an unwanted pregnancy and the adoption process.
Analysis: Scoring rave reviews in Toronto, the $7 million latest effort of Rodrigo Garcia ("Nine Lives," "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her") once again shows off his skill at weaving multiple narratives together in clever and unexpected ways. At its heart it's an emotional family drama, but Garcia excels with his female characters which makes the involvement of Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington and especially Annette Benning thrilling.
The few criticisms levelled at the film were toward some pacing and credibility issues in the last act, but otherwise praised it for not

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Is Still A Thing That Is Real
24 December 2009 10:58 AM, PST
| Atomic Popcorn
| See recent Atomic Popcorn news
»
Disney’s big May tentpole, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time has been slowly but surely building up its marketing campaign since this past year’s Comic-Con, and now the Mouse House has released a new online featurette.
We’ve had the first official trailer available for some time now, but buzz for the film has remained muted at best. We could soon be experiencing a Kingdom of Heaven-esque box office disappointment from this film, dropping as it does at the beginning of the summer box office season. It’s an understatement to say that Gyllenhaal appears miscast in the film, but the film itself doesn’t seem particularly appetizing either. With CGI spectacles approaching such as Clash of the Titans and Iron Man 2, it’s easy to see how Prince of Persia: Sands of Time could be lost in the hubbub.
However, there are a handful of bright spots.

The Decade’s Film: 2005-2009

| See recent t5m.com news
»
It had been a successful decade for the comic book movie, with that trend continuing into the latter half of the decade. Just as looked like the public demand for irradiated heroes looked to be diminishing, with lacklustre showings from the likes of Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four, out came Iron Man. Coupled with a brilliant script and an excellent performance from Robert Downey Jr as the titular zillionaire industrialist/playboy/freedom fighter/all-round genius, the end result was something truly special. Downey’s career was also revitalised, earning him a role in Tropic Thunder (which would earn him an Oscar nomination). Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk took a similar approach, this time giving Edward Norton of Fight Club fame a shot at getting under the skin of the green goliath.
They set a tough act to follow, but followed they were by one Christopher Nolan. With the Batman

Robert Pattinson once tried out for role in sex film (IrishCentral)

Life hasn’t always been as rosy for the “Twilight” sensation as it is right now. Just two years ago Robert Pattinson auditioned for a role in a seedy comedy called “Dogging: a Love Story,” according to British paper the Daily Star.
And he didn’t even get the part.
The movie is about a journalist who uncovers a community of fun-lovers in the North of England that like to have sex in cars, in full view of each other.
The journalist character decides to investigate further and pursues the group in chat rooms and in reality -- for professional purposes, understand -- only to become more personally involved when he forms a relationship with a girl going by the name "Horny Geordie Lass.”
The film’s tagline is the unsubtle question, “Fancy a ride?”
“It’s all a bit surreal, to be honest. RPattz is a massive Hollywood star both Stateside and over here,

Georgia
Opens: 2010
Cast: Val Kilmer, Andy Garcia, Rupert Friend, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Johnathon Schaech
Director: Renny Harlin
Summary: An American journalist, his cameraman, and a Georgian native get caught in the crossfire of the five-day Russia-Georgia conflict in August 2008, and then have to deal with their obligation to be impartial.
Analysis: A timely parable on war, or Hollywood propaganda filmmaking at its worst? Wherever it goes, especially in Europe and the former Soviet states, "Georgia" will cause a lot of talk and controversy as the incidents depicted are still so fresh in many's minds. Like all topics of the sort, it'll also have its strong supporters and detractors having opinions on the film long before a frame of footage is screened anywhere.
Shot on-location in Tbilisi, the project also marks a potential return to form for Finnish director Renny Harlin. Given the right material the skilled action director delivered three

Pop Culture through the Eyes of Sims

The past ten years have been great -- we have embraced on a new journey through the millennium and thanks to pop culture we had many great friends along for the ride. People Magazine worked with Sims to create an image that would incorporate all things popular in the past ten years and the picture is worth a thousand words. Find out who made the cut, which movies were featured, and which love birds were caught snuggling. People asked the folks at Sims to try and encompass the past ten years into a picture and what they came up with is incredible. They wanted to create a picture that would target the 9-14 demographic, but sadly these films and people are not only swooned over by tweens. Sims made sure to add the hottest films including Harry Potter, High School Musical, and Twilight. They also added key musicians Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift,

New Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Footage

At the beginning of last month we got our first look at the official trailer for the upcoming Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) directed video game adaptation, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It looked like a lot of fun, with some particularly striking visuals and special effects, all the while paying tribute to the great Ubisoft game that it’s based on.
And now we have some new footage from Prince of Persia, a teaser trailer of sorts that continues the same vibe we got from the first trailer, with maybe a little less of the jokey tone (I’ve heard complaints from folks about the dialogue being too silly and “on-liner-ish” -- which is a valid complaint, admittedly).
The “First Look” footage comes from the Spike TV 2009 Video Game Awards that were held recently, presented by the film’s star himself, Jake Gyllenhaal.

IMDb, the movie monitor and information website, has announced its top stars of 2009, and Robert Pattinson is number 1. Critics didn’t make the decision – the 57 million people that visit the site did, their clicks landing on Pattinson every time.
Rob swoops to the top from position 33 last year.
“The man once best known as doomed Cedric Diggory in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ rocketed into the stratosphere as moody-sexy vampire Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight’ films,” IMDb remarked.
Pattinson has “developed a fervent following of both fans and photographers who couldn't get enough of his sparkly skin, wayward hair, and magnetic screen presence. With the third Twilight film coming this summer, expect no downward turn in his popularity,” the website commentary added.
At number 1, Pattinson steps into Johnny Depp’s shoes. Last year IMDb’s top four men were all men, with Depp at the top and just
