Nobody had made a tornado movie (I’m not counting the wizard of oz), so I guess it was just a matter of time. I heard that a tornado actually hit a drive-in movie theater in Toronto while this movie was playing. I don’t know if it was during “that” scene though

The Princess Bride
This movie was pieced together perfectly. There are indeed clever intelligent funny movies being made.
Lady Jane
Starts out pretty good, but then loses touch with history, and turns into a silly teen romance. Though, I think the actual history would have been pretty dull stuff… other than the head-chopping bit.
Hot Shots
A mediocre attempt at an “airplanesque” movie that parodies top gun. There are a couple funny jokes, but not enough.
Glory
It’s hard to take a “story within a story” and make it a compelling drama. Glory did a decent job though. The big story was the Civil War, the story within was about the first all-black regiment to kick butt. Or… get their butt kicked… That raises an interesting question, are they “heroes” because they were slaughtered? or are they just poor discarded souls?
