TWISTERS has much too much shaking camera movement. I had severe motion sickness when watching this movie in IMAX. I ended up putting one hand over my eyes, and the other over my mouth...just seeing bits and pieces of the movie. Thanks for using a tripod every now and then. The script was cohesive enough but I had no great emotional feelings for any of these characters. Just let the tornado swallow everyone up and let's be done with it. Fun to see the creation scene from FRANKENSTEIN make a cameo. Oh, see TWISTERS if you must. Thanks Universal, Warner Bros and Amblin Entertainment, but I'd rather see Earthquake in IMAX. Or perhaps Tammy Tell Me True meets The Swarm.

The Corn is Green is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Thoroughly engaging and full of comic as well as dramatic moments. Bette Davis is fantastic and is backed up by a varied and talented cast. It's sentimental and sharp. A perfect blend. It gets overlooked so often by "best lists" and it's a shame. I remember the first time I saw it back in the late 1980's. I wondered how such a treasure could be ignored for so long. I hope it gets released to DVD soon. Unfortunately the current print that's on VHS and shown on Turner Classic Movies is worn and looks like it's falling apart. Maybe that print is all that's available. No matter. Don't pass up a chance on seeing this cinematic gem. This is great movie making and theatre all in one.
