What to see at the cinema and what to avoid this weekend.
Summer movie season is in full swing so here is a round up of what is worth seeing and what you might want to skip.You might be asking yourself, is"Twisters" a 28-years-late sequel to the 1996 film"Twister"? Technically, no. It is being referred to as a standalone sequel in the same universe as"Twister." Director Lee Isaac Chung called it,"a new science experiment in the same world.
"Twisters" offers passable summer entertainment if your main goal is to beat the heat in an air-conditioned theater and you are not very particular about what you watch. Plus, unlike the original"Twister," this film is not Paxtonated — by that, I mean there is no Bill Paxton, and Glen Powell is no substitute.
The film rips off"Silence of the Lambs" and"Seven" but never approaches the richness of those films."Longlegs" is all surface and its cute stinger at the end makes it feel smugly satisfied with itself. A major issue I had was that I never once believed the main character, played by Maika Monroe, was an FBI agent. She was so trembling and insecure that I could not buy that she would get into the boys club of the FBI.
West has created such a solid and amazing trilogy. Each film has a style uniquely its own, each can stand alone on its own merits and narrative yet watched together these films are decidedly a better experience."The Secret Art of Human Flight" opens Friday at Digital Gym Cinema
