Sylvester Stallone stars in this 1993 sci-fi thriller as John Spartan, a LAPD sergeant nicknamed “The Demolition Man” for his reputation for collateral damage. The RingĬast: Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock With the third and final entry, Magic Mike’s Last Dance, coming to Max in June, there’s no better time than now to catch back up with where it all started.
Magic Mike is an excellent subversive rom-com, inverting many standard gender tropes in the genre, while also being a moving story about the gaps in the American Dream.Ĭhanning Tatum is absolutely terrific as Mike, bringing layers of pathos to his confident performance, while the rest of the cast excels: Matthew McConaughey understandably drew a lot of attention when the movie was first released for his over-the-top performance as Dallas, but Joe Manganiello and former wrestler Kevin Nash both deliver unforgettable performances in their own right. While many (understandably) prefer the road-trip pleasures of the sequel, Magic Mike XXL, I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the original. Magic MikeĬast: Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey Terminator 2: Judgment Day is streaming on Netflix.
From its chase sequences and action set-pieces to its cutting-edge computer-animated special effects that still astound audiences to this day, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the undisputed peak of the franchise and requisite viewing for any lover of action cinema, sci-fi or otherwise. At once deepening the audience’s existing knowledge of the prior film’s universe and stakes and throwing a few iconic surprises in the mix, Judgment Day ratchets up the action while building a strong emotional storyline around its trio of protagonists as they race to prevent a deadly threat from the future from completing its terrifying mission of human extinction. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the platonic ideal of sci-fi tentpole sequels. Cameron’s greatest sequel, however, is the follow-up to his 1984 sci-fi action film The Terminator. Mind you, he’s only directed three sequels to date in his illustrious film career, but when one of those is a modern cinematic masterpiece ( Avatar: The Way of Water) and the other casts an indomitable shadow over the landscape of sci-fi horror video games ( Aliens), it’s fair to say he’s more than earned the title. James Cameron’s not just the “ king of the world,” he’s the undisputed king of movie sequels. Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick
