Don't Chase Tornados

 


Glen Powell strikes again with yet another summer movie, though he is not the main protagonist. That honor belongs to Daisy Edgar-Jones' character Kate, a storm chaser attempting to weaken a tornado. After her first attempt that went HORRIBLY wrong, Anthony Ramos' character offers her a new opportunity. Though they find themselves in a competition with Powell's character before eventually working together. This movie also serves as the standalone sequel to the 1996 film Twister.

This might be better than the first one, and I really like the first one. The visuals and sound affects were FANTASTIC and possibly the best part of the movie. They were absolutely terrifying and made me wonder why on earth anyone chases tornadoes for living. The plot wasn't anything special, but it was at least decent. The acting was good, again nothing special but still good. Powell and Edgar-Jones had a very nice dynamic and I strangely like that it didn't turn into a love story (been there, done that with the first one). Though I think there might've been some implications, which is fine too. I also appreciate that they didn't turn Powell's character (who seems antagonistic at first) into a typical jerk like Hollywood normally does with male characters (in my opinion). We did see that with another character however. Ramos was also likeable enough for me. 

I don't know or care whether or not the movie was scientifically accurate. What I do know is that I had a good time during this movie. It's incredibly fun and I highly recommend it. I do not however recommend chasing a tornado. Seriously DO NOT CHASE TORNADOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for reading.

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights  (...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
