With NASA’s Help, The Martian Plumbs Real Science for Thrills
As a genre, science fiction tends to lean more heavily on the fiction side of things than the science. Think Star Wars, The Matrix, and Blade Runner. Ridley Scott’s latest movie The Martian, on the other hand, is an ode to the compelling nature of actual science, with both a plausible plot and realistic aesthetics.
Why is Everyone Dancing on the set of Pan?

Watch a Brutal Bear Attack inThe Revenant’s New Trailer
At 50 seconds into The Revenant's new trailer, you see the moment that changes everything for trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio). Glass and his fellow trappers, including John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy) and Jim Bridger (Will Poulter), are moving through the forest when a huge grizzly attacks, crashing atop Glass. The moment is thrilling, terrifying, and very realistic. Grievously wounded and therefore a burden, Fitzgerald decides to bury Glass alive rather than care for him until he's healed.
Watch Trevor Noah’s First 11 Minutes on The Daily Show
"Growing up in the dusty streets of South Africa, I never dreamed that I would one day have, well, two things, really," Trevor Noah began as the new host of The Daily Show. "An indoor toilet and a job as host of The Daily Show. Now I have both, and I'm quite comfortable with one of them." It was a humble, funny start for the new host, one who faced his fair share of controversy from the moment he was selected,
Watch Bradley Cooper as a Rampaging Chef in Burnt
Bradley Cooper plays Adam Jones, a hotshot (and hot headed) American chef who made more enemies than he did meals in an epic flameout in Paris in Burnt. Now, Jones wants to resurrect his career in London, putting his diva behavior and past drug use behind him as he attempts to create the most ambitious kitchen on the planet.
We all know Cooper can do intensity, and with Sienna Miller,
New Photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy in The Revenant
As we wrote back in July, there is just a ton of reasons to be very, very excited for The Revenant. The film's director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki (we've interviewed both, you can read our chat with Iñárritu here, and and Lubezki here), both took home Academy Awards last year for their work on Birdman (which also won Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay).
Has Rick Met his Match? Watch Epic Season 6 Teaser for The Walking Dead
We're inching closer to the first episode of The Walking Dead's sixth season, after one hell of a ride in season 5.
Let's take a quick look back on last season to get us up to speed on what's coming. Season 5 showed our main group, still led by Rich Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), begin to fray in Alexandria. Compared to the Alexandrians, who have lived relatively safely behind the walls of their city,
Watch the Norn Cave Deleted Scene From Avengers: Age of Ultron
You can excuse director Joss Whedon for having to leave quite a bit on the cutting room floor considering how much ground (and sky, and space) he had to cover in Avengers: Age of Ultron. One of the scenes that didn't make it into the film was this extended look at the Norn Cave that Marvel has just released.
The Norn Cave has a small but very magically potent pool that Thor prepares to enter,

New Truth Trailer Recalls the Scandal That Rocked Washington
“Why did you get into journalism?” young reporter Mike Smith (Topher Grace) asks Dan Rather (Robert Redford). “Curiosity” he replies, the trait that would serve him well on a remarkable career that would end, abruptly, in disgrace.
Truth is based on the book “Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power” by his producer Mary Mapes (played by Cate Blanchett). It delves into the drama surrounding CBS’s handling of a incendiary investigative report in 2004 detailing George W.
Watch the Cold Open for Season 3 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The premiere for season three of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't until next Tuesday on ABC, but they've released the cold episode of that episode early, a full five minutes of juicy material. It seems a lot has changed since season two's finale, when S.H.I.E.L.D. was battling with Jiaying (Dichen Lachman) and her army of Inhumans.
The opening sequence is a stunner—the ruins of a kitchen and some petrified body parts,
Go Behind the Scenes of Spectre
A plane crashing through a house and skidding down a huge, snowy slope? Check. James Bond (Daniel Craig) scrambling, for real, across the rooftops of Mexico City while real helicopters corkscrew 360 degrees above him? Check.

Found Foot-age: Finders Keepers Directors on Their Insane Doc
In Finder Keepers, filmmakers Bryan Carberry and Clay Tweel chronicle one of the strangest feuds in the history of small-town America. John Wood, who lost his foot in a small-plane crash, lost it again when he couldn't pay the rent on the Maiden, N.C. storage unit where he'd stored the amputated, embalmed limb in a BBQ smoker. The contents were sold at auction to Shannon Whishnant, a local entrepreneur with more ambition than shame.
The two men disputed custody of the leg for years,
Duck! The Angry Birds Movie Trailer is Here
It started it’s life as an app for the iPhone, developed by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Entertainment. It was the game that every other person was playing on the subway, bus, in line at the grocery store, waiting for the movie to start and in just about every other possible situation in which their attention wasn’t necessary. It was an app so wildly popular that it was featured in an 100-page report on innovation and jobs written by two Oxford University economists.
Watch Giant Praying Mantis Terrify Jack Black, Kids in Goosebumps Clip

The Peanuts Movie has a Trailer
They've had Christmas specials galore, but Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Woodstock and Linus have never had a big theatrical film before. Finally, after 65 years and countless adventures (and misadventures—sorry, Charlie Brown), the gang's got a film.

Watch Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling & More in The Big Short
The dark knight is coming back… whoa, not Batman (this time), the dark knight of financial scandal – Christian Bale. Bale has jetted forward in time from the ABSCAM financial sting of the late 1970s/early 1980s in American Hustle to the global banking crash of the late 2000s in Paramount’s The Big Short.
