Movies

The teen thriller “I Am Number Four” comes to theaters this weekend and is probably a good choice for anyone who already saw Justin Bieber’s movie. The film is the story of a high school girl who falls for a classmate with unearthly gifts and whose small clan is at war with others of its kind.

“Unknown” puts Liam Neeson in a role similar to his last hit, “Taken.” Neeson wakes up after a car accident to discover that his identity has been stolen.
