"The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan talks about a sequel on the eve of its release on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Will there be another Batman movie?

Short answer is, no one knows yet. Nolan is doing rough outlines for a third story, but he hasn’t found one he’s willing to commit to film, he told USA Today.

"It was obvious when the box office was so big ($530 million domestically) that we had underestimated how ready fans were to reboot the franchise," he says. "The worst thing you could do now that you’ve gotten the plane back in the air is mess up the landing."

It’s not like this is the director’s first Batman film, but Nolan still finds the third installment a little hard to do. "Maybe there’s so much expectation to them. But I wouldn’t want to do one if it weren’t going to be as good as the first or second. That’s not respectful to the fans."

Fans appreciate that, for sure. So, meantime, let’s watch "The Dark Knight" over and over; it’s coming out on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow December 9.

Now for the three winners! By random number generation -

Congratulations everyone! I’ll email you for instructions on receiving your prize.

This is the Milo Ventimiglia movie that makes CSI look like a stale imitation. That “Pathology” lacks subtlety is exactly what the directors and writers were aiming for - it’s what would have been like as the real thing.  It’s direction, actors, sets and the dead bodies were totally believable, and that’s why this medical thriller is not a film for the squeamish. Since I didn’t get to watch the movie when it went out, I checked out the DVD.

It also had a weird way of pulling the viewer (me) in, while keeping the stomach stay knotted the whole time. You know it’s not going to end well, but you want to know just how sick and vile the characters can go. So you watch till the end, and then you feel sick and relieved when it’s over.

“Pathology” revolves around Dr. Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia), a new Pathology intern at the University Hospital in Philadelphia who cross hairs with a group of psychopathic residents and their sick game of committing the perfect crime. The rest must then figure out how this crime was committed, and the winner goes to the unsolved murder. Fascinated with playing god, Grey finds out too late how deep he is in the muck, and the only way out was to commit the final perfect murder.

Iron Man went into DVD last week, and if you’re a fan that has seen the film couple of times already, you might have started to see mistakes from the film. Can you think of one?

Some fans noticed 17 mistakes already. Some of my favorites:

• When showing Rhodes the big reactor, Tony takes off his sling. In the next shot he has it back on. It goes on and off a total of four times.
• When Iron Man and Iron Monger are fighting, Iron Man catches the SUV, and you can see the family inside the car. Although the car is completely vertical, the hair of the people in the car seem to defy gravity.
• When Iron Man catches the Audi SUV, the front wings/fenders don’t bend when he catches it, the car weighs close to 2 tons, some damage should occur to them as they are made of such thin metal.
• When Stark is paralysed his fringe keeps changing style all the time.
• After Stark is paralysed and slightly recovers, he goes to get his energy. Right then the blood arond his left ear has vanished. Being seconds away from dying, the last thing he would think of is taking a shower.

Any other mistakes you’ve noticed? Add them in the comments!

We know Kaito Nakamura is one of the posthumans. He has powers that were never revealed up to his death. Not even his son Hiro knew about them.

In this deleted scene, you’re about to find out exactly what Kaito can do. This is from Heroes volume 2: Generations, episode 1 “Four Months Later”.

In his own words, Kaito admits that he can analyze the variables in a situation and predict the outcome. That’s how he made money off the stock market. And to show exactly how, Kaito opened a newspaper to the stock market page and visualized several numbers. So essentially, he removed noise, unwanted variables. Unfortunately, this is also the scene where a picture of his, marked with the symbol in blood, fell off that same newspaper.

Heroes volume 2 was truncated because of the writer’s strike. The televised finale episode “Powerless” started with Adam Monroe dropping the vial with the Shanti virus just as Hiro Nakamura touched him. In slow mo, Peter Petrelli jumped to catch the vial just in time. Whew. The heroes went home knowing that they just saved the world from another catastrophe. Nathan Petrelli decides to go public to tell the world about The Company and a special kind of people - posthumans - with special abilities. And then he gets shot.

That’s NOT how it would have been. In this alternate ending, Adam dropped and vial and it broke, releasing the virus to the air. It quickly spreads just as Peter, Nathan and Matt arrive on the scene and see people are dying.

Through Matt’s mind control, the trio succeed in getting the police to quarantine Odessa, Texas. Nathan calls for a press conference to tell the world of the new threat, and the world witness him succumbing to the virus.

DarkPhoenic321 got hold of the Heroes season 2 DVD much earlier than most of us, and he uploaded it for everyone to see. (Thanks, man!)

I don’t understand why the Heroes execs deleted this because it’s one of the most poignant I’ve seen of the second volume.

This is the deleted scene about Nathan Petrelli’s recovery. Recall from season 1 that Nathan flew the exploding Peter away from Kirby Plaza. Peter exploded and Nathan had third degree burns that destroyed his face. He is now in rehab but there is no hope of recovery. His wife and two boys visit him.

Watch the video here. What do you think - should this scene have been deleted?

“Transformers: Cybertron” The Ultimate Collection
Released July 22, 2008
Paramount Home Entertainment

This wasn’t anything like the ’80s “Transformers Animated“, for sure. And that’s the unfortunate truth.

“Transformers Cybertron (Robots in Disguise)” is the last of a three-part series (”Transformers: Armada” and “Transformers: Energon”) but since it makes no reference to the previous series new fans won’t be out of the loop.

The story. The continuous story arc opens with a massive black hole that threatens to destroy Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers. The only means to close the black hole are the Omega Lock and its four Cyber Planet Keys, ancient artifacts that were scattered in different worlds across the universe. An ancient Transformer called Vector Prime tasks Optimus Prime and the Autobots to locating the Keys and save the universe. This is where the Decepticons come in. Megatron plans to use the Keys to re-create the universe in his image.
