SPARE THE ROD: Gimme the "Knight" fever, "Knight" fever ....

Just returned from seeing "The Dark Knight" -- the movie that made $68 million IN ONE DAY -- at the Hamilton Town Plaza ... in IMAX.

Suffice it to say, I'll be seeing it again as soon as possible. A hammer of a movie, in almost every way. As if someone took the most thrilling, suspenseful, real-life movie for a grown-up audience, and crossed it with the best superhero movie ever. It fires on all cylinders. Brilliant.

And there's even stuff that die-hard fan boys like me won't see coming -- and will still like anyway. Every scene offers something memorable and fresh.

Did I mention I liked it?
