  • Matt Damon Is Stranded on Mars in Intense First Trailer for ‘The Martian’

    Never mind little green men, there’s only one man we need to worry about in “The Martian“: Matt Damon‘s astronaut Mark Watney. During a manned mission to Mars, he’s left behind and presumed dead. But he’s not dead. He’s just stuck there. So he’s forced to use Bourne-level smarts to survive and signal home that he’s still alive.

    20th Century Fox just released the first 3-minute, 17-second trailer for “The Martian” and — prepare to cringe at this, but dammit it’s still true — it’s out of this world. Just watch:

    “The Martian” is directed by Ridley Scott, so it’s already off to a great start, and it’s based on the novel by Andy Weir. Matt Damon is the headliner, but he’s joined by A-listers Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Michael Pena, Donald Glover, and … Kristen Wiig? Yeah, she’s branching away from just comedies, and this is certainly going to be a big showcase.

    Fans — and we’re holding our hands up on this — can’t get enough space movies, from “Alien,” “2001” and “Star Wars” to “Apollo 13,” “Gravity” and “Interstellar.” Heck, even “Spaceballs.” With the impressive credentials involved, we’re thinking this is destined for something closer to Danny Boyle’s “Sunshine” than Michael Bay’s “Armageddon,” but we’ll see.

    “The Martian” is scheduled for release on November 25.

  • Al Pacino Is a Sad Crazy Cat Man in This ‘Manglehorn’ Trailer

    If nothing else, the new trailer for “Manglehorn” is a good advertisement for the U.S. Post Office. Al Pacino plays A.J. Manglehorn, a lonely locksmith obsessed with an old flame named Clara. He constantly sends her letters, then repeatedly checks his mailbox for replies. It’s old school like that, but there’s always been a romance to the love letter, as opposed to the immediacy of the booty call text.

    “Manglehorn” was directed by David Gordon Green (“Pineapple Express, “All the Real Girls”) and co-stars Chris Messina as A.J.’s son Jacob and Holly Hunter as A.J.’s potential new love interest, a bank teller named Dawn. Manglehorn doesn’t do much besides fix locks, dote on his cat, and remain heartbroken by the Clara he loved and lost so many years ago. If he were a woman, they’d call him an eccentric crazy cat lady, so we’ll call him an eccentric crazy cat gentleman. Nothing wrong with that. Except when it gets in the way of being a good parent.

    Pacino is getting high praise for his work here, and when “Manglehorn” hits theaters June 19, you can decide where you’d rank this performance in his impressive filmography.
