A year ago, Sylvester Stallone confirmed that he was “working on” Demolition Man 2 with Warner Bros. and that it was “looking fantastic.” The 1993 movie is an excellent sci-fi actioner, centring around a renegade cop named John Spartan being cryogenically frozen in the dark crime-ridden future of 1996. The majority of the film takes place after he’s defrosted in 2032, where he awakens into a utopian neo-California that has abandoned violence, swearing and eating meat. So, what do we want from a sequel? Well, the original’s ultra-liberal, socially distanced 2030s has become weirdly prescient, so the main attraction is seeing what crazy world they’d come up with next. A fun idea could be to repeat the same basic premise but in reverse. Meaning we would have an aged John somehow ending up a fish out of water in another bizarre world. After so long living in a calm, peaceful universe, Stallone’s character may have gotten soft and perhaps if he found himself th ....
Tom Cruise s Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible 3 Credit: Film Stills/Stephen Vaughan “Be honest,” the Oscar-nominated screenwriter Josh Olson asked on Twitter yesterday. “Without looking it up, can you remember the name of Tom Cruise’s character in the Mission: Impossible movies?” The answer, obviously, is Ethan Hunt – aka “the living manifestation of destiny,” as Alec Baldwin snarled in the series’s fifth instalment.

(“Quinge is the living manifestation of destiny!” “This isn’t Mission Difficult, Mr Quinge, it’s Mission Impossible!”) Yet it has always struck me as one of cinema’s great action-hero names, and its smooth simplicity might be its greatest asset. ....
Photo: Columbia Pictures David Fincher’s chilly direction and brisk, choppy pace give a nervy edge to this story about the founding of Facebook, but the real winner is Aaron Sorkin’s script, based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires. Sorkin heavily fictionalized the facts to serve his purposes in telling a story about greed, betrayal, and the profound pettiness and neediness of Mark Zuckerberg (played with surprising fervor by Jesse Eisenberg), so the film shouldn’t be taken as anything like a historical document. But as a fictional account of a young man violating all moral boundaries, coming away at the top of a bold new social-media empire, and still not being satisfied, it’s unbeatable. Simultaneously entertaining and tragic, it’s polished on every level, from the whipcrack dialogue to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ propulsive score. ....
