Learn what titles Fox brought to the CinemaCon table.

Story by Matt Cummings

CinemaCon has quickly become an event that highlights the top upcoming films, as well as upcoming projects. On Wednesday and Thursday, we saw news from both Paramount (Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation/TGerminator: Genisys), as well as Sony Pictures (The Equalizer sequel).

Not to be outdone, 20th Century Fox brought out its big guns, including a Matt Damon Science-Fiction drama. Titled The Martian, it follows Damon as a stranded astronaut who tries to survive on Mars following a crash. Ridley Scott is directing the film that also stars Kate Mara and Jessica Chastain - it currently has a November 25, 2015 release date, but that could change. The CinemaCon audience, made up mostly of theater owners, loudly applauded the footage they observed, as well as Damon's appearance via satellite.

The other impressive response came from the least likely of sources: Fox's upcoming Fantastic Four. The movie, harshly condemned by fans and virtually ignored by Marvel, has received better than expected reaction to its two trailers. At CinemaCon, Fox brought out stars Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell to wow the crowd with additional footage. According to various reports, the footage included Sue/Invisible Girl and Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Jordan and Mara) in various action and acting sequences, as well several fight scenes of Thing (Bell). Fantastic Four centers on four young adults who are transported to an alternate universe, which leads to radical changes in their physical forms. The film is directed by Josh Trank and will be released on August 7th, 2015.

Fox lead the way in terms of box office in 2015, raking in an astounding $5.5 billion worldwide. At current, they are planning for 12 additional releases in 2015, including Spy (June 5th), Hitman: Agent 47 (August 28th), Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (September 18th), The Peanuts Movie (November 6), and The Revenant (December 25th).

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
