Twisters was ham-handed, corny, and made little sense. The two main characters had no romantic chemistry. She looked twenty, and he looked about forty. The dialogue was bad, and the supporting actors added very little in the ways of story or acting. There was an oppression storyline and the bad guy was an opportunistic land grabber, and the good guys had an insatiable need to 'help,' which was goofy. The effort to make this a 'Fast and Furious' type movie was also senseless with scientists trying to run one another off the road. The soundtrack seemed thrown together and the only thing redeeming about this movie were the shots of Oklahoma. I can't believe how bad movies are nowadays with such a high budget.

The Worst Person in the World portrays a somewhat lost woman's search for love and meaning. The protagonist has a disinterested and emotionally absent father and perhaps this tidbit explains the lack of commitment to a career path or mate. It may explain her longing for something that she just can't seem to find -- she is perpetually unsatisfied. This is a movie about a person who is waiting for life to happen while failing to see that it's happening under her nose.

There is a part where the ex-boyfriend comments that the protagonist is a "good person". Sure, she is not horrible. She is not intentionally cruel but she is self-involved. She is not especially good. She doesn't seem to see outside of her own experience until something significant happens. I enjoyed the film for the scenery, the pacing, the acting.

Dorian Rence saves cats and she is a professional musician in the New York Philharmonic. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie that interwove stories of Dorian's life -- her family, her music, stories of the symphony, and her love and support of cats. Gorgeous music throughout.
