Hi all -
I mentioned this at the last meeting; we're doing a pre-release screening of WE OWN THE NIGHT in Norman on Tuesday, October 9th, 7:30PM. For the uninitiated, we very, very rarely do screenings in Norman, so I thought I’d pass along the opportunity to anyone looking to kill a couple of hours.
Here's the link to a printable PDF ticket for the screening; just click and print.

Here's the studio synopsis of the film:
Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) has turned his back on the family business. The popular manager of El Caribe, the legendary Russian-owned nightclub in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach, he has changed his last name and concealed his connection to a long line of distinguished New York cops. For Bobby, every night is a party, as he greets friends and customers or dances with his beautiful Puerto Rican girlfriend, Amada (Eva Mendes), in a haze of cigarette smoke and disco music.
But it's 1988, and New York City's drug trade is escalating. Bobby tries to keep a friendly distance
from the Russian gangster who is operating out of the nightclub - a gangster who is being targeted by his brother, Joseph (Mark Wahlberg), an up-and-coming NYPD officer, and his father, Burt (Robert Duvall), the legendary deputy chief of police.
Columbia Pictures' and 2929 Productions' We Own the Night, an emotional crime thriller about a man who has chosen to hide his past only to discover that he has to confront an inevitable future, takes its title from the motto of the 1980s-era NYPD street crimes unit. Written and directed by James Gray (The Yards, Little Odessa).
