Let's avoid such extremes, and note merely that he's made a film that's funny ha-ha as well as funny peculiar; an exercise in navel-gazing that tickles all the senses.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 30, 2007

Definitely worth a look.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 30, 2007

It is beguilingly cuckoo, though as primitive visually as The Twilight Zone - it was shot in 22 days - and about as profound.

| Nov 30, 2007

There are plenty of surprises in this amusing Donnie Darko-ish metaphysical thriller, but watching Van Wilder and Blade: Trinity star Ryan Reynolds flex some previously hidden acting chops is the main one.

| Nov 30, 2007

It is pretty familiar material in some ways, and not exactly unpretentious, but very watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 30, 2007

The film puts a delightful spin on that profound and solipsistic idea that we are the godlike inventors, and moral arbitrators, of our own little worlds. A gem.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 30, 2007

With McCarthy and Davis also playing two further roles with suspiciously identical initials, The Nines toys with issues of identity, duality and alternate reality certain to appeal to anyone who's experimented with the virtual avatars of Second Life.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 29, 2007

This overreaching, Lynch-lite comic drama is the mediocre directorial debut of screenwriter John August ('Charlie's Angels', 'Big Fish') and, if nothing else, demonstrates why some writers should stick to their laptops.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Nov 29, 2007

An intriguing post-modern take on 온라인카지노추천, film and gaming culture, with a revelatory performance from the former Van Wilder.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 28, 2007

Weird.

Full Review | Nov 28, 2007

The Nines is the feature-film-directing debut from screenwriter John August, but it feels much more like some Bizarro World collaboration between Jean-Paul Sartre and Charlie Kaufman, and not in a good way, either.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 6, 2007

The cosmic "resolution" that ties the stories together proves less interesting than the stories themselves.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 31, 2007

The Nines, which in real life began as a 온라인카지노추천 project, wavers uncomfortably between satire and dime-store existentialism on the big screen.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 31, 2007

The dialogue snaps, crackles and pops. And confusing as they may be, the stories are never boring.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2007

Bright and vicious, desperate and cruel, the characters of the first two stories pop with a kind of nihilistic joie de vivre that makes you want to hug them and kill them at once.

| Aug 31, 2007

Confusing? Yes, and intentionally so. But it's never boring.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 31, 2007

The Nines is a philosophical mind teaser with satirical fangs.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 31, 2007

The movie never fails to be crisply written and cannily delivered, but it's way too steeped in 온라인카지노추천-culture inside jokes for its own good, and August's attempts to suffuse the whole thing with ontological or theological meaning are ultimately pretty dumb.

| Aug 29, 2007

You'll go ''Huh?'' but you won't feel cheated.

| Original Score: B | Aug 29, 2007
