DVD Talk review of 'The Nines'
I read Brian Orndorf's DVD review of The Nines at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=32002 and...
I thought it was a good review. This movie wasn't given the proper theatre release because it was said that it couldn't be marketed to a "wide audience". Which I agree with. I was lucky enough to catch this movie in it's limited release in New York and I left the theatre completely blown away and completely confused at the same time. It is definitely a movie I need to watch a few more times.
I can't wait until the DVD comes out on January 29, 2008.

Decent movie, it was entertaining/fun to watch but I'm not sure I liked the final answer to all of it. It worked well as a metaphor (sort of spoiler)
but some of it just didn't work. (I actually didn't like seeing/hearing "nine" everywhere, it was distracting in a "flashbacks of the number 23" way -- not good.)
I do recommend it, though. Despite some reservations, it's still an interesting, entertaining little movie and not like every other movie out there, which is an immediate plus.

I just watched it, and I liked it - sort of, as others have said. I agree with the review on the acting, as I thought Reynolds and McCarthy did an amazing job. I also thought it was nice to see a movie that sort of spiritual in nature, but I didn't feel bludgeoned you over the head with beliefs, not even in that "make up your own mind but obviously you'll draw this conclusion" sort of way. At least how I felt.
The special features were great too; definitely check out the short "God".

I watched the DVD last night.
Deleted Scenes were pretty weak ....
I did, however, enjoy the "God" short film. I thought it was hilarious. Also the "Making of" feature was really good.
Give it a shot.

I did search for a discussion thread but didn't find one so just point me in the direction if I missed it.
Can anyone offer their opinions on the ending? (and the alternate one) I guess I'm just too dense too suss it out.
help me
and the God short was awesome!
