I spent my boyhood in small Iowa towns. One afternoon my mother and I were on the back steps, gazing down across the highway at cornfields that seemed to go on forever. Suddenly, the air got eerily still. “Look,” mom said. A couple of miles away, a funnel cloud eased itself down and began winding across the countryside, luckily in the other direction. I sat there awed and transfixed, and have loved watching tornadoes ever since.

How to watch Twisters

The Independent

The flying cow wasn’t that far-fetched. At the midpoint of Twister, the smash hit 1996 disaster movie that dazzled audiences with its gale-force effects, a poor bovine drifts across the sky like a lost balloon. And it once sort of happened. “We went into one little town just after a twister passed through,” the film’s stunt coordinator, Mic Rodgers, tells me. “It threw a 40-foot cattle truck 15 feet out into a field, and killed half the cows that were in it. I literally saw straw stuck into a telephone pole. Don’t ask me how that works.”Part action film, part...

Disaster movies are a subgenre of action and adventure films in which the primary conflict for the characters is an ongoing disaster, such as meteors, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, pandemics, catastrophic climate change, etc. These natural or man-made disasters pose a serious threat on a small or worldwide scale, and characters have to do their best to survive against insurmountable odds.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

I don’t know about you but summer is definitely my favorite season and I am definitely a sun worshipper. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we do not see enough of it so when it is here, that is where you will find me. Everything I do I do outside when the sun is out and the weather is warm. I wonder who else feels this way. I wonder what Zodiac Signs love the Sunshine. Want to find out? Let’s do a little research.

Twisters, the sequel to the 1996 storm-chasing action film Twister, is out now in select theaters, with a full-blown release coming July 19. Some of those select theaters include Regal’s 4DX showings, which are highly immersive experiences where the seats move, shake, and tilt, water sprays in your face, smoke pours out of the ceiling and floor, and pressurized air whizzes past your ear. Last night, I saw Twisters in one of those theaters in Times Square, walking out after its two-hour runtime slightly damp, a little shaken, and absolutely certain that there has never been a movie more perfectly suited for 4DX.

Twisters In 4DX Is A Religious Experience

Twenty-eight years ago, director Jan de Bont brought audiences into the eye of a tornado with Twister. The disaster film followed storm chasers and their efforts to deploy a new device that could revolutionize tornado research. While the data gathered could save lives, it’s a dangerous undertaking, as the researchers must get close enough to the tornado to activate the device while still giving themselves a chance to escape its wrath.

'Twisters' Brandon Perea Says the Cast Wasn't Just Dodging Tornadoes on Film

The new follow-up to Universal’s 1996 disaster movie is a near-perfect summer blockbuster that will blow you away. Here’s our “Twisters” movie review. I was 10 years old when the original “Twister” was released in theaters in May of 1996. Growing up in the southern part of what is called Tornado Alley just about 30 miles from the Oklahoma border, I had a real fear of what the weather could do. But something about that movie, from the thrill of watching tornadoes tear across Oklahoma to watching this team of storm chasers get as close as they could to better understand nature’s fury, ignited a fascination and love for Mother Nature that I still have to this day.
