And, with redoubled confidence and fluency, Garcia, the son of the novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez, has once again plumbed deep reserves of pain, humor and complexity in his actresses to create a moving and often wry examination of contemporary manners.
In nine brief, sharply observed scenes -- which have the texture, depth and impact of little one-act plays -- Garcia eavesdrops on characters in various stages of extremis having to do with mortality, despair and disappointment.
"Nine Lives" is without doubt a woman's picture, but the men of the piece deserve special credit, especially Ian McShane, William Fichtner, Joe Mantegna and Aidan Quinn.

Salinger packs these stories full of interesting stuff and he continues his theme that he wonderfully developed in The Catcher in the Rye, that is, the theme of the child vs. adult world, and more importantly the threshold that exists between the two.
The first story, A Perfect Day for Bananafish along with two other stories, For Eseme - with Love and Squalor (probably the best short story ever written), and Teddy are among the strongest of the nine stories.
There are nine of them, but each one seems to build on the themes presented earlier in the book.

 Stephen Dillane in Nine Lives
"Nine Lives" is composed of nine separate stories, each shot in a single take, each named for the leading female character, each vaguely (sometimes very vaguely) related to the other stories.
The good news is that, story by story, the tone slowly changes to something more humorous, gentle and low key.
By the films concluding story, featuring Glenn Close and Dakota Fanning as a mother and daughter contemplating the grave of a diseased loved one, “Nine Lives” has become a worthy, sweet-natured meditation on life and death.

The new media object is a process in flux that is potentially interactive, dynamic, participatory and customizable and often oscillates between its inherent ephemeral nature and its material components or people’s desire to objectify it.
The Passage of Mirage features nine projects that address these issues by portraying the virtual object as a process, a data structure (or carrier thereof), or as an encoded reality.
The artworks expand notions of the traditional art object, sometimes quite specifically with regard to more established art forms such as photography, film, or painting.
