The Chronicle Take 2 - Twisters

The chat from The Chronicle film Podcast, continues with The Chronicle Take 2. In this bonus episode to Episode 32, I review Summer blockbuster Twisters.
The first question many cinephiles are asking, is it a sequel to the 1996 Twister? No, it is set in the same universe and stars Daisy Edgar-Jones with Glenn Powell and Anthony Ramos.  Twisters follows Kate (Edgar Jones) A once brilliant storm chaser haunted by old mistakes. Five years later she is lured back into chasing storms thanks to an old face. When danger lurks, superstar storm chaser  Tyler Owens (Powell) is around, this drags Kate deep into the danger.

Sparks fly and a full romance blossoms, but Lou has a dark past that catches up with her at the wrong times. Her father, Lou Snr (Ed Haris), just happens to be the local crimelord and Jacky’s employer.

029 - Mothers Instinct & Civil War

Welcome back for another episode of The Chronicle, The official Podcast for The Peoples Movies. Paul and Clotilde are your hosts and if you love movies, your in the right place. For episode 029 we review Mothers Instinct and Civil War.
First review we go back to 1960's American Suburbia with Mothers Instinct. Starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain who are neighbours, best friends, sons are like brothers. This starts like as if it was taken from the pages of a Douglas Sirk melodrama, things get dark when tragedy hits. Who is responsible?
What If... is the great Fantasist's wet dream. What if something you would think of could happen did happen? Alex Garland's Civil War is one of those films now in UK and Irish cinemas. The United State now finds itself in it's second civil war and asks you, " what type of American are you?". Kirsten Dunst is veteran photojournalist Lee and mentor to Cailee Spaeney's Jesse as we follow the journalists making their way to Washington DC attempting to get the elusive interview. Is this a war movie? Political movie? a road more or something else?

Who is the monster? The film stars Kore-eda regular Sakura Ando whom we last saw in Godzilla Minus One. She is a single mother  who knows something is wrong with her son who is acting strangely. When she learns, this is because of his school teacher, she confronts the school. We do see the film from three different perspectives: the mother, the son and the teacher.
Who said Animation was just for kids? Who said it has to be gritty and violent? Watch the oscar nominated Robot Dreams directed by Pablo Berger, based on Sara Varon's graphic novel of the same name. We go back to the 1980's and Manhattan, we follow Dog who builds himself a robot companion . After a day trip to the nearby beach Dog is forced to abandon his new friend will the pair ever reunite?
