DESCRIPTION
Formerly married but still involved scientists pursue violent tornadoes in an effort to launch sensors which might help them predict future storms. Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating: PG13 Release Date: 14-SEP-2004 Media Type: DVD
Twister was a mega-million-dollar blockbuster--helmed by a director Dutchman Jan de Bont hot off another scorcher hit Speed--that flaunted state-of-the-art digital effects and featured a popular leading actress Helen Hunt who would win an Academy Award for her next film As Good As It Gets. But ask anybody who's seen it and they'll tell you who the real star of Twister is: the cow. Not to give anything away, but the cow is one of those inspired little touches like, say, Bronson Pinchot's career-making cameo in Beverly Hills Cop that adds a touch of personality to a gigantic Hollywood production. The story is blown out the window after an impressive prologue in which Hunt's character, as a little girl, witnesses her daddy being sucked into a tornado. Basically, Hunt and Bill Paxton are thrill-seeking meteorologists chasing twisters in order to study them and help warn people of them, of course with a new technology they've developed. If you thought the Kansas tornado in The Wizard of Oz was every bit as scary as the Wicked Witch of the West, then this may be the movie for you. --Jim Emerson
