The Word
Where did all of Robert’s rabid fans go?
Well, at least he still has his looks:
Robert Pattinson
’s first big non-”Twilight” film, “Remember Me,” had a dismal fourth place opening this weekend with $8.3 million in box-office sales (“Alice in Wonderland” remained No. 1 with $62 million, “Green Zone,” debuted at No. 2 with $14.5 million, “She’s Out of My League” was No. 3 with $9.6 million).

Forest Whitaker has some tough acts to follow
Broad comedy isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Forest Whitaker. But the Oscar-winning actor saw his latest film, “Our Family Wedding,” as a chance to stretch himself. He sat down with Metro to talk about his process as an actor and surviving a pastry fight with co-star Regina King.

A ‘Fly’ new play at the Huntington
The magic of live theater has never been more evident than in the Huntington’s production of “Stick Fly.” In lesser hands, playwright Lydia Diamond’s tale of familial dysfunction could easily be pedestrian, but director Kenny Leon finds everything that’s good about it and encourages his talented cast to run with it.

Seeing behind the scenes
If you’re serious about your Boston movies, it won’t be a spoiler to mention the scene in “The Departed” where Martin Sheen falls off the roof to his death. We need to mention it because that building is just one of the stops on Boston Movie Tours, which you can take as a guided walk or bus ride around the city.

Pattinson: A vampire in Brooklyn
Robert Pattinson has been playing Americans so often that he has forgotten how to talk like a Brit. In his latest, “Remember Me,” the “Twilight” heartthrob stars as a soulful young New Yorker attending NYU, but he insists he didn’t need any help sounding like a native. “I’ve never had a dialect coach or anything,” Pattinson says. “Ironically, I’ve only had a dialect coach for this film I’m doing now, which I’m doing in an English accent. I guess I’ve forgotten how to do an English accent.”

Movie can’t make it past minor ‘League’
REVIEW.
Lame Hollywood romantic comedies love women; they just don’t like to identify them by name. We’ve seen “She’s All That,” “She’s Out of Control,” “She’s the Man” and “She’s the One” in our local cineplexes. If you remember the plot of one of them, gold star for you.
