Review: Black Swan

As a longtime fan of director Darren Aronofsky’s work, I was really looking forward to Black Swan. To this day I’m a firm believer that high school classes should be shown Requiem for a Dream when they have to sit through “drug awareness week” because that film is a real eye opener. Like all of Aronofsky’s films, Black Swan is beautifully done. It’s filled with great acting, gorgeous music, and it gives audiences a harsh look at the world of ballet.

The Beauty of Pixar

When you talk about animated movies, the first studio that comes to mind has to be Pixar. They have, for the most part, consistently created better animation with better characters and better stories than the other animation studios, with only a few exceptions (How To Train Your Dragon and Despicable Me are phenomenal animated films). 21 year old Brazilian film buff (as in a film buff from Brazil, not a buff of Brazilian film) Leandro Copperfield agrees; after 11 days of re-watching Pixar’s feature films, he has selected over 500 scenes he felt were most beautiful and edited them together to create “The Beauty of Pixar.” Read the full story

Trailer: Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

I like weird movies; I love them if they’re done right. If you were to peruse my DVD collection (of which I am fairly proud), you would find an eclectic mix of classic films, strange films, cult films (“cult” meaning “cult classic,” not “how to sacrifice goats to the dread lord Mephistopholes”), foreign films, superhero films, stupidly funny films, and so much more. When these movies are done right, they tend to find a place on my DVD shelf. Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is shaping up to be a weird movie done right. Based on the 2003 short film Rare Exports, this Finnish film tells the true story of Santa Claus; and it is not the story of a jolly and kind Santa Claus that we grew up hearing. Read the full story

Movie Review: Tron Legacy

It’s like as though a bag of Skittles jumped into a can of Amp and had some Pixy Stix stirred into it and was then thrown into your eyes with a neon covered catapult. In other words, eye candy. Read the full story

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
