"The Nines was a flick I saw the trailer for back about two years ago when it was doing its runs at the festivals. I didn't know what to make of it, but something about it intrigued me. It seemed part sci-fi, part surrealist, part triller. Then I forgot about it completely for two years and didn't even think about it until I heard someone talking about it in their podcast. I knew going into it that it was going to be one of those films where I had to actively think about what was going on, and I was okay with that; and being able to sit there and think about the movie made it that much more enjoyable. The overall story takes place over three different parts with three different characters played by the same people. There are similarities between the roles and settings, but you find out in the end how each one is "truly" connected. John August, the writer/director, has made a film that can serve as an allegory for many things. The two I'm taking out of this is the absurdist/chaotic a ... "

"Since the conversation about internet and day-and-date distribution really started to heat up in 1995, the alternatives to theatrical distribution have seemed to only multiply and evolve, while the general perception of public exhibition has remained about the same: filmmakers like it, but in terms of bottom line, it’s only useful as an extended commercial for ancillaries such as DVD. But is that perception changing? Two related quotes of note popped up in the feeds this morning. First, Jamie Stuart at Stream: More and more independent producers and distributors with years of experience are trying to convince indie filmmakers that theatrical distribution isn’t that important…Unfortunately, the thing that most filmmakers understand — and this has nothing to do with advocating the communal experience — is that by going theatrical, the movie is given a credibility that it would otherwise not have… …does anybody believe that if the IFC Center hadn’t screened its mumblecore series in ...

"A brief, deliberately vague review of 'The Nines' I have always been interested in this philosophical concept, as well as Plato's 'Cave Parable, 'which has been worked into some of my most re-watched cinematic outings of the past few years (The Matrix, Fight Club, Old School -- OK, maybe not that last one).As a writer, I love the kind of Charlie Kauffman-lite vibe this film has going for it, much like 'Stranger Than Fiction,' but I think much more complex. Ryan Reynolds, who I know many are hot-and-cold over, really displays some heretofore untapped range in three separate roles. Hope Davis is always a welcome addition to any film, but --wow -- where did Melissa McCarthy come from? Have not seen a "

"There are a few things I haven’t been into for awhile: Ryan Reynolds, who keeps popping up on my television with that terrible-looking movie with Abigail Breslin (the title, which I keep forgetting, is Definitely, Maybe), and movies about obsessive compulsives. But I have been a fan of both in the past. Reynolds was really terrific (and yes, really hot) in The Amityville Horror, despite the remake’s uselessness, and he seemed to show a lot of promise. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen him deliver since (I hear he’s good in The Nines, but I haven’t seen it). OCD, meanwhile, was an interesting and funny character trait in movies until Nic Cage played the most unbelievable and annoying obsessive-compulsive ever in the otherwise decent caper Matchstick Men. But here we have a trailer for
