I Am Number Four Review

I Am Number Four is an amazing movie with science fiction themes throughout the entire film. It is rated PG-13, runs 109 minutes, and was released into theaters in 2011. It stars Alex Pettyfer as John Smith. John is an alien being from another planet, and he is forced to constantly run and change his identity. There is another race of alien beings that killed his family and race. John is number four out of nine aliens that escaped the genocide. The evil aliens are systematically killing off the nine aliens and they killed number three at the beginning of the movie. As the movie goes on, John starts falling in love with a girl, Sarah. Her ex boyfriend kidnaps her and has his football friends attack John, but John begins to use new powers that he just learned about. Soon the aliens find him and he has to join forces with the sixth alien and a nerdy boy.

I would recommend this movie to anyone I know. It has a lot of Scifi themes and great action. It also stars Dianna Agron as Sarah. Dianna is one of the major stars of Glee. She does a terrific job and makes her character completely believable. I watched this in theaters and it was worth the money.

The Expendables

The Expendables is a great movie with an amazing cast of characters. It is rated R, runs 103 minutes, and was released in 2010. It stars Sylvester Stallone and just about every other major action star. Stallone leads a group of men to do an impossible mission. They are told to take down an entire government regime on an island. The group meets up with an informant that will help them infiltrate the compound. They soon find out that she is the dictator's daughter, and they are forced to make life altering decisions.

I thought this movie was amazing, but it made me mad because it had flaws in its writing. It said that the AA-12 shoots 250 rounds per minute, but the AA-12 shoots 300 rounds per minute. Overall this was a really good action film with some outrageous scenes. I would recommend this film to anyone that likes explosions, Jet Li, Jason Stathum, or Sylvester Stallone.

Stardust Review

Stardust is a fantastic fantasy/romance movie. It runs 122 minutes and is rated PG-13. It stars Robert De Niro, Claire Danes, and Charlie Cox. The main character, Tristen, is looking to win the heart of a girl that lives in his town. She agrees to give him a chance if he collects a falling star for her. He uses a magic candle to travel to the star, but he finds it is actually a beautiful woman. He soon learns he entered a magical world and that there are a group of witches that want to kill the woman in order to regain their youth.

I absolutely loved this movie. It reminds me a lot of The Princess Bride in the way it was filmed and directed. It has many fantasy pieces within its amazing story. The actors are extremely dynamic and they allow you to become engrossed with the plot. There are little to no down times where the film becomes slow and boring. I would recommend this movie to just about everyone I know.
