Demolition Man
Director: Marco Brambilla
Year Released: 1993
Rating: 2.0
In 1996, Los Angeles police officer John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) accidentally kills prisoners taken by professional madman Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) and the two are sentenced to be cryogenically frozen ... that is until the year 2032 rolls around where "utopian" Southern California is ruled over by Dr. Cocteau (Nigel Hawthorne), both men get thawed out and Spartan has to help cutie pie cop Lenina Huxley (Sandra Bullock) fight crime the "90's way." To its credit, there is an attempt at (conservative) "satire" in there - the "future" is apparently so "sanitized" things like weed, alcohol, contact sports and "fluid exchange" are all banned ... and using coarse language leads to a fine - but that doesn't do much to "enrich" an otherwise pretty lame action movie with silly comic book characters shooting each other and breaking every piece of glass in sight. The now-infamous "seashells in the bathroom" has resurfaced thirty years later because of social media ... but let's be honest: bidets and heated seats should become the standard in the United States because that's the kind of cleanliness I fully endorse.
