‘The Martian’ Honest Trailer: Matt Damon Periscopes Everything On Mars By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 6, 2016 5:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. One of the favorites of critics and audiences alike in 2015 was The Martian, starring Matt Damon. The movie hits Blu-ray and DVD next week, so there’s no better time for the Honest Trailer to skewer the space survival story that makes us spend even more money to rescue Matt Damon from space (which has happened a little more often than you may remember)....

Bruce Lee Estate Sues To Block ‘Ip Man 3’ Producers From Recreating The Dragon By Russ Fischer/April 2, 2015 11:00 am EST When new info about Ip Man 3 arrived a few days ago, the big surprise wasn’t that Mike Tyson would play a significant role in the film, but that producers planned to feature the late Bruce Lee via a CG recreation of the martial artist and actor. We’d heard that a stalled deal with Lee’s estate had prevented the icon from appearing in Ip Man 2, and assumed this plan meant that things had been worked out with the estate....

By Russ Fischer/May 4, 2015 4:00 pm EST David Fincher got his start working at ILM many years ago, but really made his first marks as a music video director beginning in the early/mid ’80s.

By Jacob Hall/Nov. 23, 2015 10:00 am EST The Walt Disney Company was built on the backs of talking animals, so the existence of a movie like Zootopia was inevitable. Why settle for a talking mouse and a talking duck and their small circle of friends when you can have an entire city populated by talking animals, each of them ready to line store shelves in huggable plush form? And while the merchandising opportunities for Zootopia seem enormous (you just know Disney is already looking for ways to squeeze these characters into their theme parks and Disney Infinity and what-have-you), the movie itself looks clever and cute....
