I also felt sleepy during Mr Brooks but it seemed ok.
I liked Eastern Promises - seedy Russian gangsters in London, very violent. Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen as good as ever.
Also liked American Gangster. The standard formula of corrupt cops mixing it up with ruthless criminals, but I never tire of this stuff. Good escapism.
Brick Lane - enjoyed it, but not as much as I'd hoped. Claustrophic, with most of the 'action' inside a small council flat and a few flashbacks to Bangladesh. Good performances though.

This is England - don't bother with this one.
