We Own the Night (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Joaquin Phoenix Mark Wahlberg Director: James Gray | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 2/12/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | We Own the Night - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/1/2008 8:25 PM | |
James Gray has assembled what looks and sounds like a good, smart thriller with We Own the Night: a strong cast, serious aspirations, a specific time and place (Brooklyn, 1988). The story is shopworn, but not without dramatic potential: Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg play brothers on the opposite-ish sides of the law; Joseph (Wahlberg) has followed in the footsteps of their father (Robert Duvall) and joined the NYPD while Bobby (Phoenix) rebels by running a seedy nightclub. With a drug dealer inching into Bobby's territory, he's forced to reconsider his loyalties. Meanwhile, the movie forces me to reconsider my own, because it spends a lot more time seeming like a good movie than actually being one. read the full review | |

 | | 11. Signs (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Mel Gibson Joaquin Phoenix Director: M. Night Shyamalan | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/3/2008 | | Signs - Blu-ray Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 6/7/2008 8:08 AM | | This is really the movie, and not the more popular Sixth Sense, where Shyamalan's full talents reached their highest point. There are plot holes and some inconsistencies, even a few characters respond to other characters comments about events with statements like "how can anyone know that'" It's more than made up for in the strong acting, interesting story, nearly flawless look and score, and overall uniqueness of the presentation. read the full review | |
