LET'S TWIST AGAIN
Opening this weekend...
Twisters--This isn't a look behind the scenes at the raw, fiercely competitive world of people who play the Milton Bradley party game. No, this is a pretty belated sequel to Jan de Bont's Twister, the 1996 adventure yarn about storm chasers. It follows roughly the same plot template: A midwestern heroine with a personal grudge against tornados tries to devise a way to combat them. In '96 this role was played by Helen Hunt; here it's a waif called Daisy Edgar-Jones.
After an opening tragedy while she's trying to deploy the "Dorothy" technology from the original film, our meteorologist heroine withdraws to New York. Five years later she's tempted back into storm chasing in her home state of Oklahoma by an old crony (Anthony Ramos) with new high-tech charting equipment and a crew and budget. He wants her tornado whisperer skills in helping them get close enough to get the essential data to figure out how to dissipate a tornado in progress. She reluctantly agrees to join them for a week.
She and her new colleagues finds themselves in competition with a rowdy, showboating band of YouTube storm chasers, led by the cute, cocksure cowboy Glen Powell. They look like insufferable clowns, but as our heroine trades banter with him and gradually gets to know him better, and to learn more about his motives...Well, you can forecast where this is heading.
I guess I wasn't aware that Twister, which also starred Bill Paxton and Jami Gertz, was such a beloved film that there was a burning desire for a sequel. I remember thinking it was okay, if a little CGI-ersatz, and that the "bad" meteorologist in the black SUV played by Cary Elwes was a little corny. I enjoyed it, but certainly didn't feel any great need for another chapter.
The new film, directed by Minari's Lee Isaac Chung from a script by Mark L. Smith, has the same merits as the original, and the same weaknesses. The storms and the destruction they wreak have the sterile, unreal quality of wall-to-wall CGI effects. I'm not sure what the alternative would be; it's hardly fair to ask the cast and crew to work with actual twisters. But the tornado that sucked Dorothy up to Oz in 1939 has, for me, more physical menace than the virtual twisters here.
That said, Chung handles the big showpiece action scenes excitingly, and he keeps them coming. Edgar-Jones, Powell, Ramos and the other actors are amiable enough, though the dramatic and romantic side of the film isn't much more substantive than that of, say, a Hallmark holiday movie--Powell looks like he'd be a natural for those.
All throughout Twisters, it's continually exasperating to see that, in the midst of what we're told is a record-setting tornado outbreak, the small-town Okies are still going to rodeos and street fairs and baseball games. At one point our heroes even seek shelter from the storm in a movie theater which, this being a Universal picture, is showing the original 1931 Frankenstein. If you must get flattened in a theater, at least they get a worthwhile flick.

Twisters (dir. Lee Isaac Chung).
[It] suitably fulfills its promise of returning to a past era of loud disaster entertainment. Chung uses his bag of necessary contrivances well to properly set up and tell his film economically while adding urgent elements of climate change, humanitarian relief, and runaway capitalism. Its callbacks and small references to the original Twister are fairly light, casual, and referential while making something refreshingly exciting from a well-worn premise.

Twisters (12): A Blueprint for Universal's Next Theme-Park Attraction.
#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Twisters". #Twistersmovie. Sadly, I was not blown away by this popcorn hit. 2.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Twisters” (2024). You’ve queued a little over 2 hours in the Florida sun for this. The announcer says “Welcome to Twisters. The lapbar will come down automatically. Please stand clear of the closing doors. Por favor, mantenganse allejado de las puertas”. We jerk forwards. “Ooh… look kids… here comes the tornado. BOOM… ARGHH!… the fire explosion – heat on your face…

The Marsh King's Daughter Review- An Average Father Daughter Film With A Twist
I’ve seen a lot of films in my day about father-daughter relationships. The Marsh King is the latest in the genre of movies. It was intriguing to me because of the two stars at the front of it. Ben Mendelssohn and Daisy Ridley are both Star Wars alumni. So they are an interesting duo to lead this movie.Based on the book from Karen Dionna, it wasn’t as good as I had hoped beforehand. Helena…

I also like that his nickname for her changes as he learns more about her (because their interest in understanding each other parallels their interest in understanding how storms work) but it’s always in reference to where she’s from. Because she has that whole “running from home -> returning to home” character arc thing going. So we start with “city girl” and we move to “Sepulpa.” And the guy who’s giving her those nicknames is not only demonstrating that he’s learned more about her and they’re getting closer, but also, he’s the one really reminding her where she’s from/where she belongs in this story.
Javi is also doing that, but the thing about Javi is that he is associated with the Big Tragedy. He was part of the thing that makes Kate want to cut herself off from “where she belongs.” So even though he’s reminding her of who she is and where she’s from, too, it’s in the wrong direction. Kate’s character needed somebody new to come into her life, not somebody from the tortured past. And what better “somebody new” than a guy who’s got all the love for weather she used to have, and all the challenging interest in her, with none of the “reference to tragedy?”
I mean they could’ve written Tyler to be a storm-chaser who lost someone, too. At the rodeo, he could’ve gone, “yeah, my parents died in a storm, there wasn’t an early enough warning system, so now I chase what I used to fear to help understand the thing that took my family from me,” yadda yadda, angst angst. But that’s not what they do. Because Tyler’s character doesn’t need to foil the tragedy. He needs to foil the fun. And the hope, and the enjoyment, and the bravery, that Kate’s character has been suppressing.
So what better character to start marking where Kate’s return-to-where-she-belongs journey is, with nicknames, than Tyler—the guy trying to understand her—and then once he gets an understanding, he’s the guy trying to push her to move forward?
Good good good. Good writing, good storytelling, good characters. Nothing fancy. Just plain good.

Twisters
Movies watched in 2024
Twisters (2024, USA)
Director: Lee Isaac Chung
Writer: Mark L. Smith (based on a story by Joseph Kosinski)
Mini-review:
This was exactly what I expected and wanted it to be: a thrilling piece of popcorn summer entertainment. Is it a great movie? Definitely not, but I had a lot of fun watching it in the theater. Mostly, it's a brilliant showcase for Daisy Edgar-Jones' and Glen Powell's star power and charisma. Also, while the story has quite a few silly moments, Lee Isaac Chung manages to elevate the material with his masterful, classy direction. And the CGI is much better than the stuff we've been seing lately in Hollywood movies, too. So yeah, Twisters is not a perfect film by any means, but as far as summer blockbusters go, it's arguably one of the best we've gotten in the last few years.

Ever since a devastating tornado encounter, Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) gave up chasing storms across the Oklahoma prairie to safely study them on screens in New York City. Lured back to the field by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) and a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity, Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose thirst for tornado-tracking adventures made him a social media sensation. As storm season intensifies with terrifying phenomena unlike anything seen before, Kate and Tyler realize they may need to work together if they are to have any chance of taming, and surviving, an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornadoes.
Pre-order Twisters.

The Boys in the Boat (12): The Guy in the White Jacket is FANTASTIC.... Because it's ME!!
Follow Joe Rantz, a penniless man living in an old car in the slums of Seattle, and experience the true story of "The Boys in the Boat", directed by George Clooney. A #onemannsmovies #filmreview.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Boys in the Boat” (2023). “The Boys in the Boat” is going to be a tricky one for me to objectively do a Film Review for. Because, I’m actually in it! (Story below). It was originally reported way back in 2011 that this would be “Kenneth Branagh’s next film” (after Thor) but the project never developed. It moved from The Weinstein Company to MGM and fell under…
