Elsewhere in Box-Office Bad News, the weepie Remember Me, featuring The Twilight Saga's gentleman vampire Robert Pattinson, executed a steep (59%) dive from last week's wan debut and crashed into 10th place. Pattinson's Twilight inamorata, Kristen Stewart, is playing Joan Jett in the musical biopic The Runaways, which opened in limited release to a so-so $803,000 on 244 screens. (It's really a supporting role to Dakota Fanning's Cherie Currie.) So far, Pattinson is finding it hard to attract fans when he's not in his giant fantasy-film franchise; in Star Wars...
...showcase his new wares at the Venice and Toronto film festivals. He showed up last week on the Lido, a couple of hundred miles from his vacation villa on Lake Como, both to present his Iraq war comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats and to unveil his new inamorata, TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis. When the film broke down at the evening screening, Clooney serenaded the audience with a comic-opera rendition of O Sole Mio that wouldn't make Placido Domingo envious but did wow the crowd. This weekend he's in Toronto with two films, Goats and Jason...
...movie's main problem was that many found it an unnecessary addition to the canon, with the primary plot strenuously exerting itself to achieve familiar challenges and triumphs. Only the unrelated, subsidiary scenes with Scrat the squirrel and his foxy new inamorata Scratte showed any comic pizazz. (These scenes were created by a different story team.) With the speed of Road Runner, the karma of Wile E.

...Yojiro Takita, who won the foreign-language Oscar this year for Departures. Goto, the current hot Pink auteur, was represented by the sweeter-than-it-is-sexy Blind Love, a twist on Cyrano de Bergerac, with a ventriloquist using a friend to woo (and have sex with) his inamorata. Lalapipo (Lot of People), set in the teeming, tumescent world of the porn industry, is an agreeably demented farrago whose hero has a talking penis that looks like a Muppet - say, the Nookie Monster - and urges him to have sex with someone other than himself...
...guys who did last winter's insufferable holiday comedy Four Christmases), McConaughey plays Connor Mead, a glamour photographer with an eye for philandering. After breaking up with three girls "in bulk," over a video conference call, he goes to his brother's wedding weekend, re-wounding his old inamorata (Jennifer Garner) while causing about as much domestic havoc as Anne Hathaway did in Rachel Getting Married, and with the same low entertainment payoff. This alpha dog is a baaad Connor; Scrooge-like, he must be visited by three spirits who will show him the error of his ways...
