Brick Mansions Blu-ray - 9/9/14

[DouglasRobert]

Guess we'll either have to wait for a review or the back cover is shown.

It's been out in Canada for a few weeks but I figure it'll end up on Netflix.

While it's not as good as the original French film, I still enjoyed this one, deviations and all. Very curious to see how different the unrated cut is. I wasn't expecting it to be so much longer.

I just watched the unrated cut and it is really different from the PG-13. There's three new scenes added into it I don't want to spoil it. And the intro in the unrated cut is way more different.

I watched it too. Very different indeed. Some good, some bad. Didn't care for the reworked ending too much, but I think it was more to make the film feel more like a standalone, since the theatrical leaves the door for a sequel open, if they had wanted to do one. But I enjoyed it enough. Still worth the money.

Probably the lady that was hanging out with Paul Walker's character in his apartment.

So according to the review the unrated cut runs 100 minutes, or about 10 minutes longer.

How did those news sites get the unrated cuts time so wrong? Not that I'm complaining, cause at least we get an unrated cut. But 6 minutes shorter than originally reported is disappointing.

Does the reworked ending have to do with the addition of a woman? Don't spoil it too much though.

reviews for fox movies (or at least non uber popular fox titles) will probably be much later than street date anymore as most places will have to source their copies themselves...starting this month Fox entertainment is SEVERELY cutting back on sending out screeners. they opened up a "digital screening rooom" where reviewers can screen the movies that way and physical screeners are being restricted to all but the biggest of the big reviewers....hopefully BR.com still counts as one of the bigger ones

it looks like Fox is going back to the days where they would piss off reviewers by sending out crippled screeners with horrible video quality and 2.0 audio with a bit scrolling bar of text on the screen that says "this is a screener"

Was the guy that isn't Paul Walker dubbed in this? Something seemed off to me with his dialogue.

He's been dubbed over. Apparently, his accent was too strong.

According to IMDB, Vin Diesel did the dubbing.
