After spending all day at the beach or with family at the backyard bbq, summer nights are a great time to relax and catch up on your favorite movies.

Best Buy has a variety of classics to choose from, titles like “The Graduate,” “The 40-year-old Virgin,” and “Road House”… (“I want you to be nice, until it’s time to not be nice!” heheh, sorry, there are some great lines in that one) can be scooped up for under $15.

Or if you’d like to work on your vocabulary and revolutionary tactics, “V for Vendetta” is $9.99. You’ll forgive me if I skip past the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” however, “Day of the Dead” is a fun family flick. Okay not really, but you get my point. Maybe Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” would be a better choice for the kiddies.

Whatever your liking, this deal is only happening until Saturday so get to gettin’!

Batman will be riding a motorcycle in the Cape Crusader’s next film, The Dark Knight.

The LA Times published an article today, releasing photos and information about the new bike and movie that is to be released next summer.

Check out the specs on this thing:

• It’s equipped with grappling hooks, cannons and machine guns.
• The front and rear tires are a huge 508 millimeters and the engines are in the hub of each wheel.
• Steering isn’t by hand, but by shoulder since there aren’t any handle bars. Instead there are shields that fit each arm like sleeves that allow you to steer the whole frame.
• The two foot pegs are 3 1/2 feet apart on each side of the tank, which the rider lies on, belly down. The tank also moves up and down.
