Sunday
Demolition Man
Channel: Five
Time: 9:00pm
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes
Futuristic adventure about a cryogenically frozen cop who is thawed out when a psychopathic criminal escapes. Violence has been outlawed in the politically correct regime of 2032 and the only weapons in existence are consigned to a museum.

Blast From the Past

Mistaking a crashing plane for the atomic bomb, Calvin Webber hustles his pregnant wife into their air-raid shelter and locks the doors on the outside world for thirty-five years.

It's 1936. When a mutual friend is killed for robbing a petty racketeer, Johnny Hooker seeks out Henry Gondorff with thoughts of revenge against racket boss Doyle Lonnegan. Wangling money and manpower, the two tricksters cook up an elaborate racing scam, but will they live to see the winning post?
