Don't be a Plum!
sometimes people really piss me off…. so then I watch a movie

• 14 September 2009

I just read about this movie that’s going to come out in November. It’s called Nine, and it’s directed by Bob Weinstein –the same director who did Chicago with Queen Latifah, Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta Jones and Renee Zellweger.

Nine has an all-star cast as well, that’s probably even more impressive than Chicago, if that’s possible. They all have Oscars or Grammys.  It’s going to be:

• Daniel Day-Lewis (main character)
• Marion Cotillard (wife)
• Judi Dench (colleague)
• Fergie (prostitute)
• Penélope Cruz (mistress)
• Nicole Kidman (muse)
• Sophia Loren (mother)
• Kate Hudson (journalist, just has an Oscar nomination)

I don’t know why the film is called 9, because it only has 8 people in it. But I do know the movie is based on Fellini’s movie 8 1/2, and it stars Daniel Day-Lewis as an Italian film director Guido Contini. Guido is trying to balance out all the different women in his life, at the same time as trying to finish a movie and get through a mid-life crisis.  And they sing all the way through.

I’m not ashamed to say I really liked Chicago. I saw the Broadway Show, and I actually liked the movie more, which isn’t too common.  I liked how the lead characters were cast so well in their roles, and they also made each of the songs work really well on film, which can be hard because they were made for the stage. Queen Latifah became so famous after filming this movie. I really liked how the makeup and costumes were done as well. So, this makes me really look forward to seeing Nine on November 25th. I’ll leave you with a link to the preview here.
