The Nines is a fantasy - mystery drama written and directed by John August (also known as one of the writers for Dark Shadows and screenwriter of The Corpse Bride, Big Fish and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). The story tells us about the lives of a struggling actor, a video game designer and a TV show writer melding together in a mysterious way.

It's a cosmic point of view, it's about signs and remembering. All it needs is some extra attention and an open mind; the rest are being taken care of by a really nice cast. If any of you ever had doubts about Ryan Reynolds' performances, you better watch it cause he's fantastic here. He and Melissa McCarthy have a beautiful and unique chemistry. Some of the actors involved are playing as themselves, which makes the film more real and quirky at the same time.

The whole film has a vast amount of great music. There's not an official soundtrack but you can find and listen most of the songs listed online.

The outcome may not be as rewarding as the rest of the story but give a chance to the unconventional.
