    This May is “Summer Camp Edition” at Catching Up On Cinema!

    All month long, Kyle and Trevor will be reviewing summer camp themed movies.

    This week, Trevor talks about Stephen Brill's, Heavyweights (1995)!

    A personal favorite kid power/live-action Disney movie of Trevor's, Heavyweights (1995), is weak on morals, but big on laughs.

    This May is “Summer Camp Edition” at Catching Up On Cinema!

    All month long, Kyle and Trevor will be reviewing summer camp themed movies.

    To kick things off, Kyleintroduces Trevor to Jonathan Prince's, Camp Nowhere (1994)!

    A beloved, but somewhat underseen Disney “kid power” camp film from the mid-90's, CampNowhere (1994) is a surprisingly clever kid friendly heist/farce that happens to be a childhood favorite of Kyle's.

    This April, Catching Up On Cinema becomes “Catching Up On Kayfabe,” a pro-wrestling podcast!

    All month long we'll be reviewing WWF/WWE shows from 1998, The Attitude Era.

    This week, to close out ourmonth of pro-wrestling related content, Kyle and Trevor sit down to review Darren Aronofsky's, The Wrestler (2008)!

    Starring Mickey Rourke as an aging pro-wrestler, and Marisa Tomei as a stripper looking for a way out, the film is a thoughtful and gripping human drama that is highly respectful of the art of pro-wrestling.

    This week, we're joined by Richie of the Super Media Brospodcast and gonstFM radio station, as we finally sit down to review the second half of the No Way Out of Texas: In Your House pay-per-view!

    A haphazardly constructed card that suffers greatly from the absence of then WWF world heavyweight champion, Shawn Michaels, the second half of No Way Out of Texas is a bit of a letdown, but a chaotic and consummately Attitude Era one nonetheless.

    Matches featured in this week's discussion include:


    Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson and DOA vs. The Nation of Domination

    Kane vs. Vader

    Stone Cold Steve Austin, Owen Hart, Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie vs. HHH, The New Age Outlaws, and Savio Vega

    The “go home” Raw before the Now Way Out of Texaspay-per-view, the episode is once again rife with shenanigans and inconclusive finishes, but features several entertaining promosdesigned to set the stage for the pay-per-view to come, and perhaps more importantly, Mike Tyson's involvement in Shawn Michaels and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin's upcoming clash at Wrestlemania XIV

    This week, Kyle and Trevor review Ron Shelton's, White Men Can't Jump (1992)!

    Directed by minor league baseball player turned prolific directorof sports films, Ron Shelton, White Men Can't Jump (1992) is a sports comedy centered around L.A. street ball hustlers.

    Starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, as well as featuringRosie Perez in a key supporting role, the film is a delightful timecapsule of early 90's West coast culture, encapsulating many of the sights, sounds and prominent social themes of the era.

    Packed with trash talk, elegantly staged basketball sequences, and wrong-headed hyper masculinity, the film boldly invites the viewer to both cheer for, and scorn its protagonists in equal measure.

    Oddly structured, and not consistently crowd pleasing in the waymany would expect from a “sports comedy”, White Men Can't Jump is nevertheless an enjoyable sports film, albeit a somewhat more dramatic and realistic one than one might expect.

    This February is “Frame of Reference” month at Catching Up OnCinema!

    All month long, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing films that havefrequently been referenced in recent episodes of the podcast.

    This week, Trevor and Kyle review John Woo's, Face/Off (1997)!

    Hong Kong legend, John Woo's, third American feature film, and the first that he was granted extensive creative control over, Face/Off (1997) may very well be the best of director Woo's Hollywood productions.

    Headlined by John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, talented actors who clearly relished the opportunity to attempt to ape one another and give dual performances, Face/Off is equal parts rousing action thriller, and over-the-top psycho drama.

    Grand and bombastic in both emotional content and actionspectacle, Face/Off is never lacking in terms of energy and momentum, resulting in a film that, while debatable if it's deserving to be counted among director Woo's finest films, may be one of his most balanced and approachable.

    Quotable, meme-able, and undeniably memorable, Face/Off is a rare example of a script landing in the lap of exactly the right director, who in turn cast exactly the right duo of chronic over-actors to lean into the material and make an otherwise ridiculous premise truly sing.

    This February is “Frame of Reference” month at Catching Up OnCinema!

    All month long, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing films that havefrequently been referenced in recent episodes of the podcast.

    This week, Trevor and Kyle review Martin Campbell's, The Mask of Zorro (1998)!

    A long gestating project that encountered many delays, ran overbudget, and saw many directors step into and out of the director'schair, The Mask of Zorro (1998) would ultimately be ushered intotheaters by director Martin Campbell in the summer of '98.

    Starring Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins as the titularZorro, and featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones in a star making turn as Elena, The Mask of Zorro is a gorgeous production, both in terms of the aesthetic appeal of its stars and starlets, and the sumptuous production design.

    Much as was the case in director Campbell's previous film,GoldenEye (1995), the stunt work and action choreography in The Mask of Zorro is top-notch, showcasing dynamic swordplay, horseback riding, and acrobatics.

    Energetically scored by James Horner, the soundtrack for The Mask of Zorro is highly thematic, with memorable flourishes and melodies sprinkled throughout, and some truly show stopping action cues making the production soar whenever Zorro jumps into the fray.

    Unlike other modern takes on comic book and radio heroes such as The Shadow (1994) or The Phantom (1996), The Mask of Zorro successfully manages to find a comfortable balance in showing reverence for and paying homage to classic Hollywood, resulting in a film that is wholly modern in its pacing and editing, while clearly bearing the DNA of swashbucklers of old.

    A magnificent action film with a period charm, The Mask of a Zorro is a movie that this reviewer eagerly anticipated prior to itsrelease, greatly enjoyed when it arrived in theaters and on VHS, and now, roughly 25 years later, has grown to truly love.

    This February is “Frame of Reference” month at Catching Up On Cinema!

    All month long, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing films that have frequently been referenced in recent episodes of the podcast.

    This week, Trevor and Kyle review Felix Enriquez Alcala's, Fire Down Below (1997)!

    One of Steven Seagal's last major theatrical releases, Fire Down Below (1997) is an environmentally conscious action-thriller set in rural Kentucky.

    Featuring a host of country music star cameos, including celebrated singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson as the chief antagonist, Fire Down Below is a cozy, but not especially thrilling watch.

    Apparently both gutted, and neutered in post-production, Fire Down Below is short on action, and long on down-home Appalachian charm.

    With beautiful locations and scenery, and capable performances from everyone in the cast not named “Seagal,” with a few more aikido flips and a little less “geetar” strumming, Fire Down Below could perhaps have been considered one of the few truly “good” Steven Seagal films, however sadly, it was not meant to be.
