MTV Movie Awards Bring Lots of Laughs and Pattinson

PopSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:29:41 -0700

Andy Samberg kept the star-studded crowd laughing the whole night at the Robert Pattinson Appreciation Awards, we mean MTV Movie Awards, in LA yesterday. After the gorgeous men and women walked the red carpet, Andy opened the show spoofing the year's biggest movies - from The Reader to Star Trek. Really though, all show long Twilight found its way into almost every segment in some way. There were lots of other funny moments including an homage to movie explosions, a dramatic medley of SNL digital shorts songs which starred Forest Whitaker singing "D*ck in a Box," and Bruno flying through the air and landing on an enraged Eminem. Em did not look happy as he stormed out of the theater afterwards.

It was no surprise that Twilight was the big winner of the night which led to many wonderful moments like the almost Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart kiss, Rob bringing our attention to the happenings in his pants, and Kristen nervously dropping her golden popcorn. Another huge highlight was the exclusive New Moon trailer - looks amazing. It might have been the only moment the theater was quiet in rapture rather than screaming Robert's name at random intervals. There were lots of other happy winners like Zac Efron, Jim Carrey, and Ben Stiller who was presented the Decade Award by a teary Kiefer Sutherland. It was a fun night all around, let us know your favorite moment and don't forget to vote on all of Bella and Fab's love it or hate it polls!

Twilight Takes Over The 2009 MTV Movie Awards!

PopSugarUK — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:45:55 -0700

The MTV Movie Awards took place in LA last night, hosted by American comedian Andy Samberg, with the Twilight cast stealing the show for many reasons! Robert Pattinson chose to skip the red carpet, going straight into the venue, while his castmates posed for photos and signed autographs. Then inside they won five awards for the movie, including Breakthrough Male for Robert Pattinson, Best Kiss and Best Movie, while Kristen Stewart dropped her Best Female Performance award while accepting it. Sacha Baron Cohen attended in character as Bruno, flying from the ceiling with wings on his back, and ending up in Eminem's lap. Eminem left the venue shortly afterwards... oops! High School Musical 3 was another big winner, taking three awards, and star Zac Efron presented the MTV Generation award to Ben Stiller!

Twilight Stars and Winners Celebrate Their Golden Popcorn

PopSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:00:15 -0700

The winners of the night crowded into the press room at the MTV Movie Awards last night in LA. The Twilight cast was the main attraction at the entertaining show, and they all happily posed with their golden popcorn. Kristen was all smiles, sandwiched between Taylor Lautner and fellow best kiss winner Robert Pattinson after the three introduced the exclusive New Moon preview. Zac Efron's acceptance speech was a little awkward after the way it was presented, but he looked perfectly happy with his prize backstage. Cam Gigandet and Ben Stiller also posed with their bounty, while Cameron Diaz stuck with her young costars. Congrats again to all the winners and keep the fun going by voting on how you think Andy did as a host as well as all of Bella and Fab's love it or hate it polls!

Here it is, the first trailer for new Twilight movie New Moon starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, and the rest of the crew. There's some glimpses at the chemistry between Kristen and Robert - something we've seen plenty of as they filmed the movie in Italy last week! I want to know whether you'll go and see New Moon when it's released in the UK on November 27, so check out the trailer below and tell me if you'll see it or skip it!

Rushing Robert Arrives In New York After Leaving LA

PopSugarUK — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:17:24 -0700

Following Twilight's huge success in Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards, Robert Pattinson flew from LAX to JFK to continue the hectic schedule that has seen him promoting the series of films in Cannes and filming New Moon in Italy with Kristen Stewart over the past couple of weeks. While talking about winning the Best Fight trophy alongside his costar Cam Gigandet, he said: "It made me feel really tough, really hard. I don't think I've ever won a fight in my life. It was cool." It looks like he didn't have a lot of time to take in his victories though, as he rushes off to his next engagement!

New Moon: Better Than Twilight

BuzzSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:45:00 -0800

Let's be honest: for most of you, it doesn't matter what I - or any critics for that matter - have to say about New Moon, the incredibly anticipated sequel to last year's Twilight. The film started breaking box office records before it was even released, and audiences will flock to the theaters for weeks to come. On the plus side, a ticket to New Moon is a win even if you're not a Twihard - provided that you know what you're getting into.

New Moon is not incredibly acted, and it doesn't boast impressive dialogue or larger-than-life special effects. But it's not trying to be the Best Picture of the Year, so I can only critique it for what it is: a fantasy movie about a love triangle between a werewolf, a vampire, and a teenage girl. To see what I mean, just read more.

The movie picks up a few months after where Twilight left off. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is blissfully in love but she can't fight her insecurities about growing older than her perpetually seventeen vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). All Bella wants for her eighteenth birthday is for Edward to change her into a bloodsucker, but a close call with his brother drives Edward to break up with Bella and leave town instead.

The drama following Bella's abandonment is everything we remember from high school heartbreak, from Bella's night terrors to the glazed over look in her eye. The anguish and pain are easily seen on Stewart's face, and her innermost thoughts are revealed to the audience through letters to Edward's sister Alice that will never be sent. After months of moping, Bella finally starts to open up to Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a family friend. As Bella struggles to find hope in a life without Edward, her friendship is complicated by Jacob's romantic feelings for Bella and made worse when Jacob discovers that he's a werewolf (and an enemy to all vampires).

The surprise of the movie is Lautner's performance. We've seen and heard about those muscles countless times before, but he also packs enough charm and charisma into his Jacob that you truly see him as more than just Bella's unrelenting admirer / best friend. He presents himself as a viable suitor for Bella's heart, and it's hard not to root for him against Robert Pattinson's wooden (albeit handsome) Edward. Stewart and Pattinson have chemistry to spare in Twilight, but in New Moon, Bella's relationship with Jacob seems hopeful and comfortable while her scenes with Edward are mostly awkward and frankly not as much fun to watch.

The movie belongs to Stewart and Lautner, but their melodrama is balanced out by the characters who pad out the cast. Yes, we meet the wolf pack and the Volturi, but for the most part the Forks residents and beyond make for some much-needed comic relief. The downside is that while it's funnier than what you'd expect, not all of the laughs are intentional (a scene where Jacob's temper rivals that of The Incredible Hulk comes to mind).

It doesn't take more than a grain of salt to appreciate New Moon for what it is - a film that stays true to its origin and delivers the necessary elements to ensure that you'll be back when the next installment of the franchise comes our way.

Movie Preview: Robert Pattinson in Remember Me

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:41:10 -0800

A little Robert Pattinson overload never hurt anyone, but here's a break from all of his vampire stuff - the official trailer for Remember Me! Yesterday we took a peek at the first stills from the film, but here we get a much better taste for Pattinson's chemistry with Emilie de Ravin in the upcoming drama/romance. Pattinson plays Tyler, a broody but romantic college student who falls for the daughter of a cop (de Ravin). Pierce Brosnan also stars as Tyler's dad, while Chris Cooper plays the police officer who has an issue with Tyler's bad boy antics.

I was a bit skeptical about Pattinson's next film, but I have to admit that the movie looks intriguing despite a few cliches and a bit of cheesiness. It's nice to see Pattinson playing it straight in a more grownup role than the perpetual teenage vampire, and he and de Ravin have a fair amount of sweetness. It's enough to keep his fan base happy, that's for sure.

To see the trailer for yourself and tell me what you think, just read more.

Remember Me - See It or Skip It?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

This is quite the week for all us Robert Pattinson fans, as not only is New Moon out tomorrow, but the trailer for his latest film Remember Me has just been released! We saw Robert filming the movie in New York with costar Emilie de Ravin throughout the Summer, and now we've got our first look at Robert in the romantic drama. He plays American college student Tyler, who falls in love with a policeman's daughter, and Pierce Brosnan plays his dad! The new lovers struggle with their relationship as they both try to cope with family tragedies. It's due out in March 2010, so check out the trailer and vote to let me know: will you see it or skip it?

New Moon: Love Triangle and New Additions Live Up to Hype

PopSugarUK — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:00:00 -0800

The wait is almost over, as New Moon hits our cinemas on Friday! The huge anticipation for the second installment of the Twilight saga puts a great amount of pressure on it, but I'm pleased to report it lives up to the hype. The story starts with Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) 18th birthday, and the rivalry between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) is set up from the outset. The three leads all bring intensity and passion to their roles once again, and there are several stand-out performances from the supporting cast.

To find out more about the movie, and see tons of stills from the film, just read more.

An incident at Bella's party leads Edward and the Cullens to leave Forks and a heartbroken and hunted Bella behind. Jacob and Bella's friendship deepens as she becomes an adrenaline junkie and Jacob undergoes his own major changes. The ancient battle between vampires and werewolves is reignited, and we learn more about the hierarchy as the action moves to the Volturi in Italy. The film benefits from the change in location, and the additional characters raise the excitement levels and keep the saga moving forward.

The addition of the Wolf Pack and the Volturi bring depth and context to the battles between individuals. Jacob and his boys spend most of the second half of the movie shirtless, but it's not all bare torsos, as the back story of Sam (Chaske Spencer) adds another dimension to the dangers Bella faces. Dakota Fanning shines in her small part as subtly sinister Volturi guard Jane, and Michael Sheen is impressive as Aro. Michael Welch also deserves special mention for bringing some much need humour to the film as Mike, another of Bella's suitors who frankly doesn't stand a chance when faced with Edward and Jacob as competition.

New Moon definitely puts Jacob in the spotlight, and the lack of Cullens airtime will disappoint Team Edward fans. I found the first half of Twilight dragged a bit and the sequel follows the same formula of a slower beginning, but it has more action than the original and the running time of 130 minutes doesn't feel quite as long as the first film (although it could do with being tightened up). The deeper storyline of the love triangle and the new characters ensures the second film in the saga goes further than the first, and fans will find plenty to adore.

Get yourself in the mood for New Moon by checking out the first, second and third trailers, and by reading my interviews with the cast. Are you planning on seeing it on Friday?
