DVD Geeks - 02.22.10

2010-02-22

Anticipating next month’s return of ABC TV’s “Flash Forward,” we’ll catch you up with all you need to know from the first half of season 1 in the two-disc DVD set that compiles the first 10 episodes. Need a refresher? The entire population of Earth blacks out for two minutes and sees the future – specifically April 2, 2010. The FBI coordinates an effort to find out who was behind the blackout while individuals struggle with the glimpses into their own futures.

Up next, we’ll look at Steven Soderbergh’s tale of corporate whistleblowing in the Matt Damon vehicle “The Informant!” We’ll also spend a little time with the very dark revenge fantasy “Law Abiding Citizen” which pits Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler against each other as a man behind bars carries out heinous crimes against the legal system that failed him.

Finally, we’ll get into the star-studded family drama “Everybody’s Fine” in which Robert DeNiro sets off on a cross-country trek to reunite with his estanged family.

Not enough for you? OK, we may also dip into some Nazi Zombies and Vampires just for good measure.

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