Pattinson plays a character not too different from the “Twilight” series’ Edward Cullen and shares the same trademarks—the bilious stare and the tossing of unkempt brunette locks. Though the vehement temper tantrums that Tyler throws might be out of character for Edward, the two share a dark, cool demeanor. Tyler is not immensely charming or sympathetic, and Pattinson’s acting is ultimately neither commendable nor totally deplorable. “Twilight” fans, though, will probably squeal with delight (or tremble with envy?) at Pattinson?...
...Remember Me” doesn’t need its title to implore you to remember it; there are enough moments in the film that do it justice. Nevertheless, this is a film that is eventful but never gripping, emotional but rarely compelling.

Attempting to flesh out the life of this peculiar prophet in a work of imaginative historical fiction is Milton Steinberg, formerly the rabbi of the Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City and a prolific author on Jewish thought.

Ironically, and most unfortunately, due to the book’s arrested development, the story never does get to Hosea’s actual prophetic career...
...Sunday will make adjustments to the legislation, such as lowering the impact of an excise tax on high-value insurance plans and stripping out some sweetheart deals like the now infamous cornhusker kickback, using a process known as budget reconciliation. Such changes would be filibuster-proof in the Senate, though that process could still drag on a while if Republicans choose to draw it out with objections and amendments. Even so, it will be an anticlimax to Sunday's historic House vote, which will send the underlying Senate bill to President Obama's desk for signature. (Watch TIME's video...
