"We Own the Night" Grade: D+

Strong performances from Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix (not so from Robert Duvall and Eva Mendes) but the plot and dialogue are so melodramatic and often plain ridiculous that the film rarely comes to life. Also, despite a few strong action sequences the film is usually static and bland in its visual style.

Adding "August Rush" (B-) to my list.

Introduing the Dwights/Clubland B+

I've had a few days to reflect on this film, and I think it's a great Aussie effort. Funny, touching, and with terrific performances from everyone, lead by Brenda Blethyn, and Emma Booth. I like it better, in retrospect.
