Today sees the release of Nine Lives on DVD and Blu-ray and Monkey and I enjoyed a sneaky preview recently. Being a family of cat lovers I thought we’d enjoy watching what happens when My Fuzzypants arrives in the Brand household.
Released through Lionsgate Home Entertainment, Nine Lives runs for just under 90 minutes and stars Kevin Spacey as a workaholic businessman, who takes his family for granted. It’s already cost him one marriage. Whilst running his company Firebrand, he’s totally forgotten about what really matters in life.
His daughter Rebecca is about to turn 11, and all she wants is for her father to remember her birthday and be there for her party. As usual he’s forgotten to get her a present and sets off in panic to buy her a cat, something she’s wanted for ages. Then the fun begins.
Enter Mr Fuzzypants, the cat Brand buys from Mr Perkins. A freak accident sees Brand left in a coma and when he wakes up he finds himself trapped inside Mr Fuzzypants body. Whilst Brand’s body is left in hospital on life support, as My Fuzzypants he learns about how his actions have effected his family and what they now think of him.
It’s time to make amends as Mr Fuzzypants is all the things Tom Brand should have been to his family. Can his son also save the company from being stolen in his absence?
I won’t ruin the end of the story for you, there are tears along the way. Mr Fuzzypants is certainly more of a man than Tom Brand has ever been. Nine Lives also has some extra features:
Letting the Cat Out of the Bag: The Making of Nine Lives
Cat Bloopers
Herding Cats

Home Alone because it is set at Christmas and is great fun.
home alone 2 because i always used to watch it as a kid and always knew christmas was near when this came on tv and now im watching it with my own kids now!! x
Home Alone, its a wonderful Christmas film for all the family to watch and its very funny
I like the Wizard of Oz, as I like Judy Garland, musicals, films with a happy ending etc. Mum likes White Christmas, though over last couple of years she has been “sickened” with Christmas films :- Film 24 (Television channel) I believe becomes Christmas 24 in November. As she has had episodes of being housebound due to ill health. Has seen so many repeats of Christmas (Snow etc ) films, she is actually now keen to avoid them.We both now would like to see Sunny Summer films in Winter – Time.
The children seem to enjoy Frozen, Jack Frost etc.

It’s A Wonderful Life – I love this film. Enjoyed watching it as a child and still do. A great film to watch if you’re feeling down, just sit down with a nice cup of tea and biccies and you’ll feel better by the end of the film. A meaningful film with a happy ending for a change. Reminds me of how things used to be and also how things have changed (not always for the better either!)
We watch Elf every year and we all shout out the funny lines.
‘Gremlins’ – the kids love it when things go wrong and they do – big time – in this movie.
