Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit Gets You Accepted Into The Nerd’s Angels
4:40AM Sean Fallon | Somehow I can’t picture a rugged, tattooed and bearded biker squeezing into this officially licensed Dark Knight armour replica. More like Comic Book Guy riding on a moped. More »

3:30PM Nick Broughall | In the 12 months since Blu-ray emerged victorious over HD DVD in the battle for high-definition format supremacy, BD-Live has gone from having huge potential as a key sales and marketing feature to becoming a footnote on the spine of a handful of Blu-ray movies. And despite the fact that some studios like Disney are actively pursuing the technology, its implementation still feels like a random collection of ideas that lacks cohesion and focus. And sadly, it doesn’t really look like things are going to change any time soon. More »
Will Blu-Ray Untap The Potential Of BD-Live?
3:30PM Nick Broughall | In the 12 months since Blu-ray emerged victorious over HD DVD in the battle for high-definition format supremacy, BD-Live has gone from having huge potential as a key sales and marketing feature to becoming a footnote on the spine of a handful of Blu-ray movies.

3:30PM Nick Broughall | There may not be any mention of it anywhere on the official site (or anywhere else, for that matter), but what’s the bet that Hoyts’ decision to upgrade three of its cinemas to play back IMAX-quality film was partially inspired by the success of The Dark Knight’s IMAX scenes? I mean, come on – one of the biggest films ever made uses IMAX cameras and then six months later Hoyts are making over their cinemas? It can’t be a coincidence.
The three cinemas getting made over for IMAX goodness – Entertainment Quarter at Fox Studios in Sydney, Highpoint in Melbourne and Carousel in Perth – will all be bringing the IMAX experience on Boxing Day with the release of Keanu Reeves’ latest, The Day the Earth Stood Still. On top of that, the Hoyts cinemas will be showing typical IMAX documentaries, plus a selection of 3D entertainment, complete with stupid glasses.
But if they really want to show off, they’ll show The Dark Knight again…

Hoyts Bringing IMAX To Its Theatres

Review: The Dark Knight Blu-ray Disc
12:43AM Mark Wilson | digg_skin = 'compact'; digg_bgcolor = '#f1f8fa'; digg_url = 'http://digg.com/movies/Review_The_Dark_Knight_Blu_ray_Disc'; I don’t claim to think that I can in any way influence your purchase of The Dark Knight on Blu-ray ($US24) or DVD ($US15/$US21). In fact, I don’t really want to. I couldn’t care less if you buy it, rent it or stomp any loose copies you spot at the store. But to me, the 3-disc Blu-ray set (2 discs of content and an extra disc for the digital copy) has brought an unparalleled experience to my home theatre. And I’m going to fanboy out a bit for 30,000 or so words. More »
