How’s a moviegoer to keep track?

There are three, count’em, THREE movies with nine in the title either in theaters or coming up.

There’s the newly-released District 9, about illegal aliens in South Africa.

Then there’s the upcoming September release of 9, the animated post-apocalyptic story starring sock puppets.

Finally, there’s the big-budget film adaptation of the Broadway musical Nine, which disappointingly stars Super Thespian Daniel Day-Lewis.

All I can say is it’s a good thing that the underrated Ryan Reynolds existential adventure The Nines has already been released, and so doesn’t add to the confusion!
