53. The Nines

The Nines is screenwriter John August's directorial debut. You might not know the name but you probably know some of his scripts. Go, the Charlie's Angels movies and a trifecta of Tim Burton movies: Big Fish, The Corpse Bride and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The movie consists of 3 short stories with the actors playing a different role in each segment. Ultimately, all 3 stories connect and everything begins to make sense.

Ryan Reynolds is the star here. For those of you who think he's a one trick pony who can only pull off the goofy roles, think again. He's really good in all 3 roles, showing lots of depth and versatility.

This is really not an easy movie. You need to be paying attention. You will think about this movie once the dvd is out of the player. It's that type of flick. That being said, it's definitely not for everyone.
