Brothers (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has provided us with some revised artwork
Title: Brothers (IMDb)
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal
Released: 23rd March 2010
SRP: $29.95 (DVD)
Further Details:
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced DVD ($29.95) and Blu-ray ($39.99) releases of Brothers which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, and Natalie Portman. Each will be available March 23rd. Extras will include audio commentary by Director Jim Sheridan, and 2 featurettes ("Remade in the USA: How Brødre Became Brothers", "Jim Sheridan: Film and Family").




Quote: A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam (Maguire) is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Portman), with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy (Gyllenhaal), his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison, which is also Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie (Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Shepard). When Sam’s Blackhawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains of Afghanistan, the worst is presumed, leaving an enormous void in the family. Tommy steps in to fill the void with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family.

You can never have enough Pete Hammond quotes! The best "critic for hire" in the business.

Really did like the simplicity of the original artwork. New art isnt too bad...but its nothing great.
They go from good to bad. Artwork I mean.

Shame on you Lionsgate! The original poster cover artwork was the perfect-original one!
So the original cover was just some kind of red herring, but, of course, they found the time and the will to screw it and give us another awful case of the floating heads syndrome.
Fortunately, both the original and the revised let us know that Pete Hammond found it "powerful and gripping!". I was on the fence about this movie, but of course that's all I needed to know, Pete Hammond's opinion. In fact, that's what drives my buying habits, Pete Hammond's enlightening opinions on the cover, I buy them all to get a complete collection.
My, oh, my...

i'll rent this one,
It seems like they are sort of banking on The Hurt Locker's success with the revised artwork.
i dig both covers, only, the revised seems to be for an entirely different movie.
Good job on making the artwork a lot worse. The original art was pretty great already...
Revised artwork added...
I believe the art will be what they have up at Amazon.

This was massively disappionting. I never believed Tobey's character for a second, I thought his performance was way overdone. The only nice surprise was the short appearance of Carey Mulligan, which makes the film kinda worth it. I know, I know.
Very upset that the blu ray cover cuts out Maguire's nipple. NO NIP=NO SALE! Why do they do that? Why don't they just scale the DVD cover down to Blu case size?
This one was disappointing. I love Portman and Gyllenhaal, and In America was a really good movie, but this just felt like a Lifetime movie. The scenes in Iraq were fairly lame.
I will definitely rent this movie because by the trailers it looked promising and the critical reception wasn't too bad either. I'm not expecting much, the reason why I didn't see it in theaters, so I hope it turns out decent. Although I hate that the BD is getting a bare-bones release. That's just lame.
Wasn't sure about this one, never saw any ads or commercials for it. But anything with those actors on the front - will rent.
Pretty good, but i wouldny buy it. It doesnt have replay value. How is the original though? I wouldnt mind seeing that
I caught this in December, and just recently picked up the original Danish version for 3 bucks. I prefer the original, it's got a stronger cast. Spider Man is an okay actor, but high emotion is out of his league.
Never caught this one in theaters, but will give it a rent at the very least. I love a large portion of Sheridan's work. Get Rich or Die Trying being the exception.
Enojoyed. Will be getting

It was there on the theatrical poster, too.

A surpisingly really good movie, actually made my top 10 of last year. Maguire was totally robbed at the Golden Globes because he gave a jaw dropping performance. Definite day 1 pickup for me.
