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.

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...

What The Hell Did I Even Watch!?!🤣

I think ever since Lady Gaga's performance in A Star Is Born , musicians have been trying to jump in on the band wagon. The Weekend is one of those musicians who's trying, and failing miserably. First he tried with The Idol , and we all saw how that crashed and burned. And now he decided to turn his newest album Hurry Up Tomorrow into a movie, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself. Oh yeah, Jenna Ortega and  Barry Keoghan are in this too.  The Weekend is obviously on this vendetta to prove to people that he can act, and it's getting kind of pathetic. The movie is just.....not good.  There's barely even a plot, it's just an elongated music video that involves The Weekend crying too much. Now, I will give him some credit for actually trying this time (unlike in The Idol ). But unfortunately, instead of coming off as a troubled musician, this felt like I was watching one of the 3-5 year-olds my mom deals with at her job. I'm aware that this movie was in...
