GET IT TWISTED

So the other night I went and saw this movie Twisters with my CREEM BFF Fred Pessaro. I gotta admit, I was skeptical at first. A movie about storm chasers? Uh, okay, now I’ve officially heard everything. But the truth is...it ruled. It has these two teams of storm chasers—one of them is real scientific and the other just wants to party and make YouTube vids. Ultimately they find common ground (and even some romance, which will make you believe in love again) and save Oklahoma from total destruction.

There is never a moment in Twisters that isn’t soundtracked with only the freshest, most modern country songs, and God love ’em for it. These. Tunes. Rocked. And they really helped pump up what was already a heart-stopping—albeit totally out-ofthe-box—flick. In fact, as the credits were rolling (I like to stay for the whole credits to pay my respects to EVERYONE who worked on the film), I turned to Fred and blurted out, “How the HELL has someone not made a movie like this before?”
