“Nine”, director Rob Marshall’s next musical after Oscar® winner “Chicago”!
Written by Stan Robinson on Wednesday, 30 December 2009 16:23   
“Nine” is on my top films and best director lists. Director Rob Marshall won an Oscar® for the musical “Chicago” (2002), and in this musical drama, he gives us a look using the musical format, at the world of famous director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), who reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportions while balancing the numerous women in his life, including his wife, his mistress, and his actress/muse as he works on his current movie project! My full review is available at www. ScreenScene.org Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Sophia Loren, and Stacy Ferguson. Directed by Rob Marshall; written by Michael Tolkin and Anthony Minghella; The Weinstein Company release. Rated PG-13 for sexual content and smoking. “The Lovely Bones”, director Peter Jackson’s smaller yet powerful movie! Actress Saoirse Ronan who stars as the 14 year old is on my list of best actresses. Director Peter Jackson, who has become synonymous with his big budget large-scale presentations of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and “King Kong”, demonstrates his expertise as a filmmaker and storyteller with “The Lovely Bones”. It’s a smaller scaled thriller centering on a murdered 14-year-old girl, who’s watching over her family, and, her killer, from heaven. Her dilemma is weighing her desire for vengeance against her wishes for her family to heal and for closure. Be sure to read my full review at www.ScreenScene.org Starring Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Saoirse Ronan, Susan Sarandon, and Stanley Tucci. Directed by Peter Jackson; written by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens; Paramount Pictures release. Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material involving disturbing violent content and images, and some language. Runtime: 135 minutes.
