Dark Knight Rises Trailer

Yes Suboktimes is back! I can't find a better way of resurrecting Suboktimes than by posting you the trailer of the new Batman movie namely The Dark Knight Rises.

The most exciting aspect of the movie is that it contains the villain Bane. I did some research on the character since I'm not an avid comic reader and without giving too much away it looks like Batman will have his hands full with this guy.

Something else which I noticed was the inclusion of Ann Hathaway. I remember I read somewhere that she will be in the new Batman movie. I assumed that she will play the same character Maggie Gylenhaal played in The Dark Knight. It seems not, in fact she will play the character Selina Kyle. What makes it very interesting is that Selina Kyle is Catwoman!

I must warn you before watching this trailer, you'll want more after watching it! And you will have to wait to at least July 2012.

New X-Men Movie Trailer

See the trailer of the latest X-men movie called X-men: First Class. It looks absolutely awesome!

Nicholas Cage Matrix

I found a gem of a movie website called The Shiznit which focuses on movies in general. They really have some hilarious articles! Hopefully I will filter the best ones out for you and include them here in the future.

One fine example is the Nicholas Cage matrix. Have you realised that as time goes on the worse his movies gets? Well the matrix shows the relationship between Good/Bad versus the the tone of the character ( crazy or serious pretty much)

Personally I would've put more movies on the rubbish side if you ask me...

Golden Globe winners 2011

So last night was the Golden Globe awards. It is not quite on the level of the Oscars but it still gives you a reasonably good idea on who will take the Oscars. I’m not surprised The Social Network took the title of Motion Picture of the year. Do yourself a favour and compare the list of winners with my previous post about best and worst movies of 2010.

Superhero Movies Infographic

Check this very interesting infographic of past Superhero movies. Hollywood is not holding back when it comes to releasing Superhero movies. But I must admit a few of them are pretty cool. My favorite being the Batman movies of course!

Best and Worst Movies of 2010

To start of this post, I need to introduce you to one of the best critic websites on the internet, namely Metacritic.

What they do is they take multiple reviews of a game, movie, albums, or a TV series, and they calculate an average for all the reviews to give you 1 rating for that item. See the picture below.

So usually when metacritic says a movie or a game is crap, then it probably is.

Anyway, they compiled a list of the best and worst movies of 2010. This gives you the perfect opportunity to pretend that you are a movie expert. So if somebody needs to know whether a movie is good or bad, they can ask you.

But you must remember these aren’t necessarily the movies that made the most money in 2010, but the movies that got the best reviews.  In other words, it’s usually art films or foreign films that get the best ratings. If you live in South Africa, it’s the movies that only show in Cinema Nouveau. But seeing that Metacritic is so awesome, they compiled a list consisting only of major film releases (i.e. no art films which we haven’t heard of anyway)

To avoid making this post too long, I will only mention the top 5 in each category.

The Best Major Releases of 2010.

1.       The social Network ( “Facebook Movie”)

2.       Toy Story 3

3.       The King’s Speech

4.       The Kids are all right

5.       True gift

One of my favorite movies of 2010 was Inception of Leonardo Di Caprio which is on nr 11 if you wanted to know.

The Worst Major Releases of 2010

1.       Vampires Suck

2.       The Last Airbender

3.       Killers

4.       The Bounty Hunter

5.       Furry Vengeance

Note nr 2. This is the latest movie by M. Night Shyamalan who made Sixth Sense a few years ago. Shame, the dude just cannot repeat the success of that movie.  Saw 3D is nr 6 on this list. I actually like the Saw films.

See the article here

Just to make this post even more interesting, metacritic also asked their users to vote for their favorite movies of 2010. But remember they do not necessarily have the best critic reviews, but were the most popular.

1.       Inception

2.       The Social Network

3.       Toy Story 3

4.       Black Swan

5.       Scott Pilgrim vs The World

They also voted for the worst movies of the year but they only mentioned the top 3.

1.       The Last Airbender

2.       Sex and the City 2

3.       Vampires Sick

They also asked their users to vote for their favorite game and TV show of the year. But I will leave that for another post. If you are interested, click here

2012 most absurd science movie

Have you ever seen the movie 2012? While watching it, did you at some stage think “ this is absolutely ridiculous!”?. Well you are not the only one. Apparently NASA has awarded the movie 2012 as the most absurd science-fiction film, i.e. it IS ridiculous!

The movie is pretty much about the 2012 phenomenon that the world is going to end on 21 December 2012. Add a minor storyline and some budget and you have the motion picture 2012.

Here is a trailer of the movie:

Metacritic  also did not give the movie very good ratings (49/100) which is not very surprising. 

See the article here.

NASA even had to create a FAQ page regarding the issue. See it here.

Transformers 3 Trailer

Check out the trailer of the latest Transfomers movie. I must admit it looks pretty cool. The 2nd movie got pretty terrible. Let's hope this one is better!
