Twister

Directed by Jan de Bont

Cinematography by Jack N. Green

Twister is a movie that has no right being as good as it is. I’m not saying that it’s shining example of the power of cinema or anything, but it’s probably the best movie about storm chasing that will ever come out and that’s for one reason: it’s entertaining as fuck. I mean, let’s just look at the people involved in its production; you got Jan de Bont coming off of Speed to direct this, Michael Crichton writing the script with Joss Whedon doing rewrites, Steven Spielberg as a producer, and then there’s the cast.  Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes (playing the evil storm chaser), Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck, Jeremy Davies, Jami Gertz and Lois Smith all in a disaster movie! It’s a combination so crazy that it somehow happens to make something amazing. Sure the characters aren’t complex and the story/drama leaves a bit to be desired, but the writing is surprisingly good, the actors seem like they’re having a ball, and it looks great even with the 90s CGI (Hell, that might even be an added plus for some people).

Twister is fun and that’s what I love about it.

ditto. :D :D endlessly rewatchable.
