While Lyco (Lane Factor) is stunned to learn his protector is Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman), he continues on with her as the former Sith looks up an old acquaintance who might help them find other Jedi. Attempting to trade their skills for the info, the pair agree to help out the bounty hunter Latts Razzi (Clare Grant) and her droid in stealing from the Empire, at least until the heist goes sideways and Lyco learns the former Jedi-killer is far more trusting than a bounty hunter will to do whatever she can to make a buck. While providing a bit of action, the episode’s purpose to provide some trust between the unlikely pair is successfully.

Let’s get this out of the way first, Demolition Man is a somewhat fun, if incredibly stupid, movie. Set in a dystopian future of a seemingly innocuous utopia (but with its own troubles bubbling under the surface), the film gives us super-cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) and psychopath Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) both being released from cryogenic prison where their battles in the late 90s left them (thanks to Phoenix framing Spartan in a way so obvious it could only be missed by 90s rule of law).

Not realizing how it ties into his plans, Ingrid (Eve Harlow) destroys some genetic samples which could have been used to save the twins, although the good doctor scrapes enough together to save one of them.

The Final Destination

  • Title: The Final Destination
  • IMDb: link

The fourth installment to the franchise is hardly distinguishable from the fifth (which would put the franchise on hiatus for more than a decade). Offering no standout performances or all that memorable deaths, The Final Destination is just plain bad. Our big event, which a handful of characters avoid, is a car crash at a racecourse filmed in ways mostly to make the debris shoot out towards the audience in 3D. The utterly bland Nick (Bobby Campo) is responsible for saving a few of his friends and some strangers before the carnage takes everyone else. Then Death begins targeting the survivors (Nick Zano, Shantel VanSanten, Haley Webb, Justin Welborn, Mykelti Williamson, and Krista Allen) one by one.
