DVD Geeks - 07.05.10

2010-07-05

It’s another jam-packed episode of digital goodness from DVD Geeks! On tonight’s show:

Tom Ford self-finances, wrote and directed his debut feature film “A Single Man” starring Colin Firth and based on the book by Christopher Isherwood. Firth plays George Falconer, a gay man contemplating suicide in the months after his lover’s death. Taking place in the sophisticated (and closeted) ‘60s in southern California, we see Falconer’s planned last day as he says goodbye and finds the glimpses of life around him.

Another ‘60s throwback comes in the form of the oft-maligned Doctor Who story “The Space Museum” featuring the first Doctor, William Hartnell. Releasing this week with a slew of vintage Who titles, we’ll focus on what makes this one such a favorite for fans to bash.

Following that, we’ll look at the robot-surveillance sci-fi drama “Eyeborgs” and the gritty urban cop drama “Brooklyn’s Finest” from first-time writer Michael C. Martin.

Finally, we’ll spend a few moments in ancient Greece with one of Ray Harryhausen’s effects masterpieces, “Jason and the Argonauts.” “Jason…” gets the full Blu-ray treatment including a host of new special features and a careful restoration.

All that plus our weekly honorable mentions, Geek Picks and more!
