'Super Hybrid' Blu-ray Detailed[teaser]The murderous set of wheels coming to Blu-ray this August has been fully detailed. [/teaser] As previously reported, Starz/Anchor Bay is revving up 'Super Hybrid' for Blu-ray on August 23. Late one night, a mysterious car is brought into the Chicago police impound garage after a deadly traffic accident. The garage's female mechanic, Tilda, and her young, hip fellow mechanics soon discover the car has a mind of its own: it morphs into different cars to confuse them and instead of needing an engine to run, it breathes. It's a killing machine that is capable of outrunning and outwitting humans. In a high-octane fight to the death, it's our group of determined humans versus the car in this supernatural action-adventure in the vein of Stephen King's 'Christine' and 'Transformers.' The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include the featurette: Under the Hood of Super Hybrid. Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $29.99.

HDD Breaking News: Secret 'Super 8' Showings TONIGHT![teaser]Can't wait until Friday to see 'Super 8'? You're in luck! Twitter and Paramount Pictures have teamed up for the first-ever "Tweet Movie Sneak Preview" of 'Super 8' for one day only on over 300 IMAX and standard screens across the nation.[/teaser] The ultra secret 'Super 8' sneak previews will be taking place on June 9, one day before the film's theatrical release. Since Twitter is partnering for the sneak previews, the only way you can find out about showing information is via Twitter. Go to the official page of the preview and share the info with your friends on Twitter by using #Super8Secret. Based on the screenings in our theatrical reviewer Luke Hickman's area, it looks like all secret screenings will be taking place late tonight at 12:01AM (technically falling on June 9). Directed by J.J. Abrams ('Star Trek') and produced by Steven Spielberg ('Indiana Jones'), 'Super 8' is a widely anticipated adventure film that follows a group of children as an unknown beast forces a military take-over of their small town. Trailers and TV spots have revealed nearly nothing about the film, causing a curiosity to drive the pre-release buzz. Since Luke is under embargo to not review 'Super 8' until it's opening, he can't yet tell you how great it is. What he can tell you is that he has already seen it twice, and he's contemplating going back to a secret screening in Salt Lake City tonight. 'Super 8' needs to be seen on the big screen. Check The Bonus View very soon for his review.Posted Wed Jun 8, 2011 at 12:00 PM PDT by: -

OTA Broadcast Loses Viewers - CEA Recommends Auctioning the Spectrum[teaser]Only eight percent of people are getting their TV through over-the-air broadcasts. [/teaser] Not too many years ago, before the cable boom, there was only one choice for getting your television. We fiddled with bigger and better antennas and played with rabbit ears to get the best signal possible. Now that there are a great many more options, over-the-air programming isn't getting the same love it used to. The Consumer Electronics Association says that a survey done in December of 2010 indicates that only eight percent of people are getting television from over-the-air broadcasts. That still seems like a fair chunk of the population, but CEA president Gary Shapiro says it's just not enough. "Using huge swaths of wireless spectrum to deliver TV to homes no longer makes economic sense," he says. "Congress should pass legislation to allow for incentive auctions so free market dynamics can find the best purposes for underused broadcast spectrum, such as wireless broadband."

'Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings' Announced for Blu-ray[teaser]The fourth chapter in the horror franchise goes all the way back to the very beginning on Blu-ray this October. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox looks like they're set to release 'Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings' on Blu-ray on October 18. The movie is directed by Declan O'Brien (who helmed 'Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead' and 'Sharktopus') and was filmed in our own Tom Landy's hometown of Winnipeg, Canada. At an isolated hospital deep in the West Virginia wilderness, three hideously deformed mutants go on a merciless killing spree. Now, decades later, this family of blood-thirsty cannibals is stalking new prey: a group of young skiers trapped by a blizzard. The abandoned medical wards soon become killing fields as the panicked victims come face to face with a chilling choice — fight back or die. With bonus footage too graphic for theaters, Wrong Turn 4 takes you to the most terrifying place of all…the beginning. Specs, supplements, and suggested list price for the Blu-ray are still undetermined at this time.

Sony Introduces a PlayStation Branded 3D Monitor for $499[teaser]The 24 inch set offers 1080p resolution, LED backlighting, and more. [/teaser] This may come as a bit of a surprise, but serious gamers - the guys racking up the highest scores and competing professionally - aren't playing on massive 70 inch sets. Instead, they prefer a sweet spot between 22 and 24 inches. Sony's new PlayStation branded monitor comes in at 24 inches and is made specifically for gamers. It's LED backlit, 3D capable, and comes with a pair of 3D glasses as well as a copy of 'Resistance 3,' which will be coming out right around the same time as this set. Perhaps the coolest feature of the PlayStation TV is the special two-player split screen mode. When playing a game that would normally divide the screen in two, you can use the TV's unique split-screen mode and 3D glasses to send one image to player one and the other to player two. The set will run $499 when it releases this fall. Source: EngadgetPosted Wed Jun 8, 2011 at 09:00 AM PDT by: -
