bring the frenetic energy of their Jason Statham action movie Crank to Gamer without any of the camp. Here’s what contributor Ryan Broderick said about it in a big Polygon piece earlier this year: GamerĪdmonished by critics in 2009 for being garish and hyperactive, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s Gamer deserves a second look with everything we’ve learned about mass culture in the last 12 years. TEĭemolition Man is streaming on HBO Max. Awakening into the strange new world of 2036, where Taco Bell reigns Nacho Supreme and toilet paper has been inexplicably replaced with uh, three seashells, Spartan must rally the San Angeles Police Department to thwart the newly-escaped Phoenix and bring him to justice.
Early on, Spartan’s framed by his criminal nemesis Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) and sentenced to cryogenically frozen incarceration for over 30 years. Marco Brambilla’s 1993 sci-fi action film Demolition Man stars Sylvester Stallone as LAPD Sergeant John Spartan, a risk-taking cop with a reputation for highly unorthodox methods and excessive collateral damage. MPĬhungking Express is streaming on Criterion Channel. While the minor chords and eye-popping colors of his 2000 In the Mood for Love are cited as his masterpiece, this lower-key effort, and the spontaneous swagger of both camera and performance, put most of American indie romances to shame. Evidence: Wong Kar-Wai’s effervescent drama Chungking Express, which tells two stories - one starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and Faye Wong, the other with Tony Leung and Brigitte Lin - but mostly luxuriates in the feelings conjured by neon lights, bar food, broken hearts, and pop music. Romance and romantic thinking can sound twee, but I assure you, they can still be cool in the right hands.

Michael Rapaport’s 2011 documentary Beats, Rhymes and Life recounts the legendary career of New York hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, charting the story of the quartet’s humble beginnings and meteoric success in the wake of such classics as The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders to the group’s fallout and reconciliation.
