I Am Number Four - note

Its been a while since I watched the movie, "I am number four", which stars Alex Pettyfer as Number Four. I've noticed that a number of you have viewed my previous posts on the film, so to make a long story short an alien race (9 of them) escape a planet and come to Earth. They are pursued by another race that has to kill them in sequential order. Numbers 1 to 3 have been killed and Number Four is next. You can view the trailer and learn more about the film here.

I'll have more to say on a possible parallel we have, as it relates to humankind, soon. Meantime, check out the movie! - V

I am number four Part II

I was able to watch this movie (I am number four) in its entirety this evening. Its not for everyone but it does have an important message we should pay attention to. There are even a few good shots of Alex Pettyfer's awesome physique. Alex plays one of the lead characters in the movie. Something worth seeing! A report is coming up as soon as time is available. - V

I am number four

I purchased the three disk copy of the movie "I am number four" starring Alex Pettyfer amongst others on my way home from work this evening. It included the Blu-ray plus DVD versions. I plan to see it later in the week when time permits. A report follows afterwards! Have an awesome week, guys!!! - V

Alex and spy dramas!

I was in Vancouver late Saturday afternoon and stopped by HMV to look for the dvd, Stormbreaker (2006). As luck would have it, I managed to find one copy of the widescreen edition they had with the US title, ALEX RIDER, Operation Stormbreaker! The title is below the "widescreen edition" at the top but otherwise its the same.

When I got home, I had a light supper and then sat down to watch the movie. This was the first time I had watched it in English, since the last time was in French on Radio Canada, the French service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation [CBC], on cable 7. Since its an action, spy-thriller, it was easy to pick up what was happening the first time and I certainly got a lot more out of it the second time when I could understand every word that was said. I do have an understanding of French, just its not as good as my English.

I learned that Alex Pettyfer, the actor that plays Alex Rider was one of many that tried out for the role and its a good thing the director chose him. Also, they did a lot of their own stunts in the movie. The extras on the dvd will show you the details of that. Alex looks good on camera and that's another reason why they chose him. and I certainly won't argue with that one!

It was said that the film was a flop in the cinemas but perhaps that's debatable and a matter of interpretation as whether the movie is good or not. Its not quite James Bond stuff, there's more action and less subtlety but I think its a film in its own genre.

I'm looking forward to seeing Alex Pettyfer in his latest role in I Am Number Four (2011), a Sci-Fi movie. Anything that involves Steven Spielberg (through Dreamworks) has my undivided attention. Alex was 14-15 years old in Stormbreaker and he's now 20 in this latest role. This latest film is in the cinemas here on February 18. Look for it where you are! - V

latest Sci-Fi movie

The film, I Am Number Four, comes out in the theatres next week, February 18 to be exact, and stars Alex Pettyfer, a young English actor born on April 10, 1990.

The movie is a production of Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg through Dreamworks. The project is reported to have cost between $50 and $60 million. The plot is about an alien, human-like species that comes to Earth followed by another race, whose planet has been destroyed, who follows them to this planet. The first three have been killed and the character that Alex plays is number four. I've seen a past film that Alex Pettyfer starred in, Stormbreaker (2006) about spys and MI6 (UK), and found it interesting enough after seeing it in French to get a copy of my own even though its said to have been a flop.

I've long had a great interest in space, space exploration and sci-fi movies since the 1960s and plan to see this one. What about you? - V
