Walking Among the Stars

Monday night. Back home, this would be a night where I would catch up on homework I avoided over the weekend and then prepare for the week ahead.

In London, I go to movie premiers. Yes, you read that right.

My friend Naeemah won tickets to the London premier of "I AM Number Four". In attendance were two of the main characters, Number Four (Alex Pettyfer) and Number Six (Teresa Palmer), as well as the director, DJ Caruso of "Disturbia" fame. The movie was only officially finished on Friday, so we were some of the first people to see it! Here are some pictures of the experience!

All in all, it was one of those movies that is not supposed to be funny, but TOTALLY is! Some of the action scenes were BEYOND ridiculous. For example, if there is an explosion that can decimate an area equivalent to 5 football fields and you run behind a little metal door to escape the flames, and the glass in the door blows out from the blast, there is NO WAY IN HELL that the door will keep you safe. YOU WILL BE BARBECUE! Also, if you just meet someone, after 2 days you do not tell that person that "You are all I can think about", and then proceed to make out HARD CORE on said person's doorstep with the parents watching! Geez Hollywood...

However, me and Naeemah had a BLAST! And did I mention we got free snacks? Yes. Water and Toffee Popcorn. Said popcorn came in a very large bag, and was inhaled by yours truely. Before the movie started. Yeah. I have a problem.

So, if I had a bucket list, I could officially cross off "Go to a movie premier!" But I don't. Still, it is an experience I will remember for the rest of my life!

Cheers!
