Joaquin ...Oh god yes....We own the night was awful. Joaquin Phoenix goes from havinga totally outgoing, ball-busting personality to a meek, muttering victim. Mark Wahlberg (who, to me, would look good wearing a Burger King uniform)was the same character as in 'The Departed'....hard-ass cop, even Duvall fell flat and Eva Mendes, well, she is eye candy for the guys anyway, so I guess she accomplishes that. I found myself saying "oh please" so many times. 3:10 to Yuma was far better and I'm not a Western fan, but at least I was into it....don't waste your money or time... <BR/>I did get 'Gone, baby, gone' and 'Stardust'from Netflix so I have a choice tonight.. trappedinnorthcountry@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135531432921070736.post-80483782885747158802008-04-08T08:42:00.000-04:002008-04-08T08:42:00.000-04:00I actually thought I was missing something so I to...I actually thought I was missing something so I tooled around other reviews, and while the critics gushed, a lot of reader comments were very negative. At least we're not the only ones.

With all the hype, I was expecting more as well. Then again, now that we saw "We own the night" I guess the choices are limited as to who is the 'Best'. I fell asleep 3 times during last night's movie rental and my husband nudged me and asked if I wanted to turn it off, should have... I am consistantly surprised by the Academy and reviewers...are they all seeing other versions of these movies, or are my standards going up? Maybe I'm getting more critical each decade. trappedinnorthcountry@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
