I Am Number Four

     Sometimes when watching one movie it will lead me to various other thoughts. So I am not as interested in that movie as I am the other things that movie has made me think of.  What can I say, I am easily distracted.  This is what happened while watching I Am Number Four (2011) It is a very entertaining movie and I enjoyed it but I had this feeling I was missing something.  So, I watched it a second time in an attempt to fill in the gaps in my mind.  That didn't work.  So, now I am going to buy the book and read it.
     The book is generally better then the movie and sometimes they can even complement each other.  I really like that when they go hand in hand and you can enjoy both. Goal this week - buy the book I Am Number Four. 
      Now back to the movie.  Alex Pettyfer (Tormented, Beastly) plays John Smith or number four.  He did a really good job.  I enjoyed watching him; he is very interesting on screen.  Note to self - keep an eye on Alex Pettyfer.  It will be interesting to see where he goes.  That was my other wandering thought.  Watching I Am Number Four made me want to watch Beastly (2011).  I found myself wondering about his performance in that role.  The previews looked good and it was one I had already wanted to see but now even more so. 
      Enough side tracking.  I Am Number Four, good movie, entertaining, cool CGI stuff and a good storyline.  It was a little different and that was kind of nice for a change.  I kind of felt like the end just fell back into the same old stuff but still liked it.
