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.

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...

Red One & The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I present to you, a Christmas Double Review. Red One centers on The Rock and Captain America trying to find J.K. Simmons (Santa) after he's been kidnapped. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever  is obviously based on the book of the same name and of course involves throwing a Christmas pageant with some of the worst kids in existence.  Red One This was a very strange movie. I don't hate it as much as others do, but I see why people hate it. I will admit there were some parts that were a little too ridiculous and I didn't laugh as much as I would've liked. Also, with all due respect to Kiernan Shipka, she was not a good casting for the main villain. Her performance just didn't work for me. She wasn't intimidating at all, and she still looks like a child. I'm sorry but I just could not take her seriously. But I also feel it had some heartwarming moments as well, particularly involving Chris Evans' character and his son. I wouldn't say this movie was good, bu...
