the Nin9s - Scott Miller - 03-20-2008
I mentioned this film yesterday in the Ryan Reynolds thread because it showcases his ability to play multiple roles-the movie is a drama told in three parts-but thought it should have its own thread in case anyone doesn't read the other thread. First it is excellent; it is one of the more original movies I've seen in awhile and the cast is uniformly superb. Second, it raises a lot of questions but doesn't forcefeed us answers; it is a non-preachy movie about faith. Third is the hilarious short film God from the special features that you should definitely watch. The only problem I had was with the commentary provided by the writer/director John August and Ryan Reynolds-Boring with a capital B; I thought Reynolds would be a bit more lively.
For those looking to see more of Reynolds(ladies) this is a must. He plays three different characters and excels in all three roles. Hope Davis is fantastic(what else is new) and Melissa McCarthy is a real scene-stealer. Elle Fanning is good in a small part and I liked watching her scenes with Reynolds as she would make a great Vicky.
