Movie Review - Twister

this gets a 4/10 purely for how Helen hunt looks (foxy). I'll get you over some facts first, this isn't about the board game where you spin the spinner & get tied up in knots. It's about the mental idiots who chase storms for a living to try and enhance the science of weather prediction and tornado behavior. going from being no-one in Terminator, to being second string in Aliens, Bill Paxton plays the starring role of Bill (just in case he can't remember his own characters name i assume?), a former storm chaser about to settle down into married life (again) with a new wife and a new job as a weather man. he has gone out the field to see his ex wife played by the lovely looking Helen Hunt to get her to sign his divorce papers, but he's taken his new wife to be with him.

there are lots of howling goofs in this film (the biggest two being a jeep can't use it's 4X4 ability to get out of a tiny shallow sided ditch and that the tornado can pick the jeep up but not the bridge made of wood?). I don't even bother with the bad science or the really awful Wizard Of Oz references and the totally pointless showing of The Shining. Unless you want to look at Helen Hunt in a tank top for the whole film, I'd not bother. It hasn't worn well with age.
