September 05, 2023 The Lethal Weapon Masterclass - Lethal Weapon (1987)
linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
This September is Masterclass month at Catching Up On Cinema!
September is the anniversary month of Catching Up On Cinema, and this year we're celebrating the completion of 5 years of weekly podcasting.
For this year's Masterclass, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing all 4 films in Richard Donner's Lethal Weapon series of films.
First up this month is a solo review from Trevor of the first film in the series, Lethal Weapon (1987)!
Directed by Richard Donner, written by Shane Black, and produced by Joel Silver, the first Lethal Weapon (1987) is a somewhat darker and moodier experience than the more colorful and energetic sequels, however the chemistry of cast and crew alike are very much evident from minute one of this, the very first in what would become one of the most beloved of buddy cop film franchises.
Starring Mel Gibson as Martin Riggs, and Danny Glover as Roger Murtaugh, Lethal is far from the first buddy cop/odd couple films, however many are quick to point out that while it may not have pioneered the genre, it very well may have perfected it.
Despite occasionally dipping into seriously dark subject matter, Richard Donner's direction, and the ever growing cast of immensely affable characters throughout the Lethal Weapon series, exhibit a precious, familial warmth that feels wholly genuine and proves to be the series calling card.
While not as bombastic or violent as John McTiernan's, Die Hard (1988), or indeed any number of other 1980's action films, Lethal Weapon sets itself apart from the rest by squarely placing its focus on characterization and character development.
While Lethal Weapon is a great film in and of itself, it is the first, necessarily darker chapter, in a story that spans 4 films and 10 years, and as a result, this reviewer feels it ultimately benefits greatly from the existence of characterization and story beats contained in its sequels.

August 29, 2023 Turbulence (1997)
linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
This month is “Action August” at Catching Up On Cinema!
All month long, we'll be reviewing high concept action thrillers that involve environmental gimmicks in some fashion.
This week,Trevor conducts a solo review of Robert Butler's, Turbulence (1997)!
Starring Ray Liotta and Lauren Holly, Turbulence (1997) is a clumsy action-thriller taking place on a 747 jumbo jet.
Released the same year as the superior Con Air (1997) and Air Force One (1997), Turbulence was a box office failure that is largely forgotten by Hollywood and the general public.

August 22, 2023 Cliffhanger (1993)
linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
This month is “Action August” at Catching Up On Cinema!
All month long, we'll be reviewing high concept action thrillers that involve environmental gimmicks in some fashion.
This week, Kyle and Trevor review Renny Harlin's, Cliffhanger (1993)!
A wildly successful alpine action-thriller from a rough spot in star Sylvester Stallone's filmography, Renny Harlin's Cliffhanger (1993) is perhaps the progenitor of the slew of “environmental action-thrillers” that would be released during the 1990's.
Packed with noteworthy character actors from the era, Cliffhanger is a handsome and cartoonish romp may not be the finest example of the genre, but remains immensely watchable to this day.
