Review: FullMetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos


It’s always hard to do a review of an anime movie that’s based on a TV series. These kinds of film tend to work as continuations of the shows they’re based on, and make it difficult to judge it on its own merit for people who may not know what’s going on. FullMetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos (released by Funimation and animated by Studio Bones) doesn’t try to complicate itself by explaining everything for new people, instead focusing on the strengths in storytelling the show and its original manga (created by Hiromu Arakawa).

Review: The Muppets


It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights. It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight. It’s time to put on makeup, it’s time to dress up right. It’s time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight. If you’ve ever been a fan of the Muppets, hearing this song and seeing this sequence will be just one in a long line of wonderfully nostalgic moments in their 2011 feature film, The Muppets. From the theme song, to Mana Mana, to Statler and Waldorf, and to a long list of celebrity cameos, The Muppets is…the Muppets. Read the full story

Review: Conan the Barbarian


“I live, I love, I slay, and I am content.” So says our barbarian hero during this newest film adaption. And really, that kind of sums up the appeal of the new film, as well as how well it keeps to the source material. Read the full story

Second Green Lantern Trailer


With each passing day, my excitement and anticipation for the upcoming Green Lantern movie grows. This is both a bad and a good thing, of course. The good is that, from what I continue to see, it looks better and better. The bad is that, from some of my past experiences, I may be setting myself up for a massive fall. I’m a big fan of Green Lantern (Deadpool is my #1, but Hal is easily in my top 3), so I already have a fairly strong desire to see this movie succeed. Today’s bump in my excitement comes from the release of a new trailer for the movie, with more of a focus on Hal as a Green Lantern in training. Read the full story

Netflix Review: Chocolate


I have been sick (on and off) the last two weeks, so Netflix is becoming one of my good friends.  Last night I was feeling kind of low energy, but I wanted to watch something a bit faster paced.  I know some of you are looking at the title like… seriously??  – I assure you, I am NOT talking about the film co-staring Johnny Depp, though, that was actually a pretty good movie if you haven’t seen it.  But I digress, and this is something I wish to stay on topic for.

Review: Blue Valentine


The other day I had the chance to watch Blue Valentine, the much talked about Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams film. I went into watching the film with high expectations because I had read so much about it already, and I have to say that every article about the movie is spot on. Blue Valentine is one of the most painful movies I’ve had to sit through.

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!
