Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)
Fabulous
After reading all the Alex Rider books I was excited to see the film and it didn't disappoint me.Even though the film had made many changes from the book it beat oo7 hands down. The young actor Alex Pettyfer was the true Alex Rider.He coped well as a young actor with his first big movie after a fantastic performance in the TV drama Tom Browns school days. All the actors were great and it was good to see a few American actors in this British film. I hope that Alex Pettyfer can go on to make the next Alex Rider film point blanc because he is a great actor and he has this tremendous ability to use his eyes to act he is also a good looking young man who with out a doubt have a great many female admirers. I'm sure his acting career is here to stay and hope to see him in many more films.It was also good to see Stephen Fry his part as smithers was fab. The film locations were perfect with amazing shots of London and Cornwall. Having lived near London and now in Devon the whole film was truly fabulous so have purchased the DVD.
Tom Brown's Schooldays (2005)
the best TV drama , great acting by Alex Pettyfer
After watching Alex Pettyfer in his new film stormbreaker, which I must say was excellent,having read all the Alex Rider books, had to take my son to see it, I remembered back to the TV drama of Tom Browns school days, a touching and well acted drama, had to order the DVD,so have now watched it several times, Alex Pettyfer was amazing as a new young actor, he made a very convincing Tom Brown, his ability to use his eyes to act was outstanding and acting along side Stephen Fry made the drama so real you believed you were there,a stunning school and location didn't make the drama look dull it was truly magnificent, all the actors did a great job, hope to see some of them in the future, my favourite part was the stealing of the chickens,then sitting in the classroom trying to hide ones self, along with the explanation, great eye contact between Tom and the Doctor. this was a great book to read and then effectively made into this wonderful TV drama,I would recommend this DVD to every one.
