Twister
OK 17 Points 1996

It must not be easy to create a full-length thriller about twisters and their storm chasers, and usually Michael Chrichton stories are more of a slam dunk for this genre. Encumbered by the unlikely story of weatherman (Bill Paxton) trying to divorce his wife Jo to be with the way less hot Meliss…

African Cats
Good 66 Points 2011

Billed as a warm and fuzzy Disney Nature adventure, African Cats instead is a hair-raising, heartrending drama. It profiles two families, a cheetah and her cubs, and a lioness and her cub, each of which is in mortal danger for nearly the entire movie.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with …
