Darren Aronofsky Bids Farewell To The Wolverine

I’m a fan of Darren Aronofsky. He knows what he’s doing, and he tends to surround himself with people who, in turn, know what they’re doing. This combination produces the results we’ve seen from Aronofsky. That being said, I had no idea how he would tackle a movie like Wolverine. As time passed, and more was revealed about the plot, I started hoping that Aronofsky’s The Wolverine would be a diamond in the rough; a redeeming X-Men movie. News broke yesterday, however, that Darren Aronofsky has bid The Wolverine farewell. Read the full story

Snyder’s Superman To Forge Own Path

When I first heard that Zack Snyder would be directing the upcoming Nolan-produced Superman flick, I admit I felt a great deal of trepidation. Zack Snyder? Zack “How Slow Can You Go” Snyder? Zack “Slow and Low, that is the tempo” Snyder? Zack “Let’s turn a 1.5 hour movie into a 3 hour movie” Snyder? Zack “Another comment on how he uses an excessive amount of slow-motion in his films” Snyder? Let’s just say I didn’t think Superman would quite work so well in slow-motion, and that worried me.

Geek Thought of the Week: Five Things X-Men First Class Must Do to Succeed

I’ve been thinking about this lately. The X-Men film series is screwed. It has been for a while. The first two films, while taking liberty with the vast X-Men universe, were good films in their own right that could be watched by people who have never before read about Sniktbub and his amazing adventures. But with X-Men: The Last Stand, things started going all crap shaped. Too many characters, no story, deaths for no good reason, it was a mess. And X-Men Origins: Wolverine just kept the stupid coming without any of the quality that X3 had somehow kept from the first two movies. And then what they did to Deadpool…yeah, it was bad. So, here we are with yet another prequel. What can Fox, Marvel and Matthew Vaughn do to bring the X-Men movies back to where they once were? Well, here are five things that they could/should do to get the quality back into this series.

Oh No – Devil May Cry is Getting the Big Screen Treatment

According to Variety, in which I sincerely hope this is an early April Fool’s hoax, Screen Gems have purchased the rights to Devil May Cry. Kyle Ward, the same guy who is working on the screenplay for the Kane & Lynch movie (yes, you read that correctly), is the one penning the DMC script. Aside from working on another script for a movie called Fiasco Heights, Ward hasn’t done anything else which makes me worry considerably. Read the full story

Black & White Movies

I am a movie nerd. I may not be as vocal on the site about my movie nerdery as I am about my video game nerdery, but the fact remains that my movie nerdery is strong. Unfortunately, at times, I can come off as a bit pretentious about the cinematic arts, and this may end up being one such occasion.

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!
