Nine Lives (EuropaCorp, 2,264 Theaters, 87 Minutes, Rated PG for thematic elements, language and some rude humor, <b>Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/nine_lives_2016\/\">N\/A<\/a> [There have been no reviews recorded. Not a one. Zip. Zilch. Zero.]: <\/b>Suicide Squad<\/strong> might be depressing to think about, but it&#8217;s a joyride compared to this film.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Well, the film has Oscar-winner \u00a0Christopher Walken in it, playing the same type of mystical shop owner he played in <strong>Blink<\/strong>. But he has a history of taking films for a paycheck, so that&#8217;s not that depressing. The film is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, the man who directed <strong>Men In Black<\/strong>, <strong>The Addams Family <\/strong>and <strong>Get Shorty<\/strong>. Those are great films. He should be directing, well, anything else besides a man-turned-into-a-cat film.<\/p>\n<p>Then we have Kevin Spacey. The two-time Oscar-winning actor, who plays the man who is turned into a cat. This is an actor who keeps getting Emmy nominations for <strong>House of Cards<\/strong>, playing the type of role Dean Jones played in order to keep his health insurance. That&#8217;s depressing.<\/p>\n<p>But what&#8217;s scary is that there are no reviews. Even with an embargo or a holding back of a film from critics, we&#8217;d have at least one review by now. It&#8217;s like they sent a goon squad out to keep reviewer from filing their articles. That&#8217;s not a good thing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"outer-embed-ta\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-ta\" src=\"\/\/v.traileraddict.com\/111558\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">New Releases this week feature SUICIDE SQUAD and NINE LIVES. <\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2016\/08\/05\/new-releases-august-5-2016\/\" title=\"New Releases: August 5, 2016\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":39042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[2155,689,8404,1712,8403,1057,175],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-39040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-barry-sonnenfeld","9":"tag-christopher-walken","10":"tag-europacorp","11":"tag-kevin-spacey","12":"tag-nine-lives","13":"tag-suicide-squad","14":"tag-warner-brothers"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2,4],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39040"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=39040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
