“The Month of Moss” continues at Catching Up On Cinema, as Trevor and Kyle review Alex Ross Perry's, Her Smell (2018)!

Starring Elisabeth Moss as the self-destructive front woman of a 90's femme punk band, the film is a scummy and delirious descent into and out of the depths of madness.

Segmented into 5 long scenes that detail pivotal moments in the evolution and degradation of the band and it's leader, the film serves as a stellar exhibition of Elizabeth Moss' range and fearlessness as an actor.

Often uncomfortable, and intentionally alienating, both in aesthetics and scene construction, the film is challenging, but utterly confident and capable in what it is trying to achieve.

Much like the genre of punk itself, it is a product that will be misunderstood by many, but will be loved by the very few that it actually cares to win the affection of.

“The Month of Moss” continues at Catching Up On Cinema, as Trevor conducts a solo review of Ruben Ostlund's, The Square (2017)!

Featuring Elisabeth Moss in a small but memorable supporting role, the film is a Swedish production headlined by fast rising Danish actor Claes Bang.

A dense production, both in terms of run time and thematic content, The Square is the rare film that continually vexes and tests it's audience while somehow managing to remain deeply engaging throughout.

Featuring a handful of truly showstopping sequences, including a breathtaking physical performance from famed mo cap actor Terry Notary, the film is a fascinating and thoughtful experience that occasionally feels it has too much to say, though I'm grateful to have heard what little I could.

This August is “The Month of Moss” at Catching Up On Cinema!

Kicking things off is our review of Charlie McDowell's, The One I Love (2014)!

Serving as the director's feature debut, the film is a deftly constructed, minimalist comedic thriller.

Almost entirely focused on the interplay between co-leads Elisabeth Moss and Mark Duplass, the film serves as a strong showcase for both actor's dramatic range and knack for improvisation.

An engaging and well considered effort from all involved, the film is best enjoyed without prior knowledge of it's concept, so by all means, please treat yourself and give it a watch before listening to our take on it.

In this installment of Catching Up On Cinema's “Ladies' Night” event month, Kyle and Trevor review David Leitch's, Atomic Blonde (2017)!

Starring Charlize Theron as the titular Atomic Blonde, the film is a slick and stylish spy thriller set in East/West Berlin during the turbulent final days of the Soviet Union.

The solo directorial debut of David Leitch (who co-directed John Wick), the film is a strong initial offering that would pave the way for it's director to immediately take the reins of blockbuster films in the years to come.

With a supporting cast consisting of the likes of James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella, John Goodman, Eddie Marsan, and Toby Jones, the film is never dull and is surprisingly generous to it's performers and dialogue despite the action heavy pedigree of it's production crew.

While Charlize Theron is a truly spectacular in the film, both as an actress and action performer, perhaps the greatest compliment to the production must be given to Sam Hargrave and all of the folks at 87Eleven Action Design, who would serve to conceive, construct and perform one of the most memorable action set pieces in recent cinema history:

In this installment of Catching Up On Cinema's “Ladies' Night” event month, Kyle and Trevor review Renny Harlin's, The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)!

Directed by Renny Harlin (former husband to our leading lady), written by Shane Black, and costarring the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Brian Cox, the film has all of the components of a 90's action classic, but ends up falling short of the sum of it's parts.

Filled with Shane Black-isms and creative, explosive stunt work and pyrotechnics, the film is a fine action film, but unfortunately not the star making feature that it's director and star had hoped it would be.

This week, “Ladies' Night” continues at Catching Up On Cinema as Kyle and Trevor sit down to review Corey Yuen's Yes, Madam! (1985).

Produced by Sammo Hung, the film serves as an early showcase for the martial arts capabilities of it's dual leading ladies', Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock.

Though the women carry the bulk of the action spectacle, the majority of the film's runtime is actually devoted to Tsui Hark, John Shum and Mang Hoi's farcical escapades as a trio of immoral grifters that get in over their heads.

Colorful, and unapologetically silly, the film is an outstanding, if grossly uneven example of 80's Hong Kong cinema.

This July is “Ladie's Night” at Catching Up On Cinema!

Starring Pam Grier, the film is one of the most famous of Blaxploitation films, serving as the launchpad for both the actress and character's ascent to legendary pop culture icon status.

Mean spirited, funky, and packed with social commentary, the film is very much an exploitation film, however it holds the distinction of serving as a highly influential movie to the likes of Quentin Tarantino and many other high profile members of the film community.
