Movie Review and GIVEAWAY: Twisters {ends 8/27}
*Disclosure: I received a digital copy of the movie in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own.

I saw Twisters in the theater recently, and I really enjoyed it—to prep, I watched the original Twister ahead of time, from 1996, which was also very good (I had seen it before, but not recently). 

Twisters is now available to buy or rent on digital, and two of my lucky readers will win a digital code for the movie!

TWISTERS brings back the blockbuster disaster epic with a whirlwind of heart-stopping action and exhilarating thrills. Ever since a devastating tornado encounter, Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) gave up chasing storms across the Oklahoma prairie to safely study them on screens in New York City. Lured back to the field by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) and a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity, Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose thirst for tornado-tracking adventures made him a social media sensation. As storm season intensifies with terrifying phenomena unlike anything seen before, Kate and Tyler realize they may need to work together if they are to have any chance of taming, and surviving, an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornados.

Movie Review and GIVEAWAY: Twisters {ends 8/27}

My review:

I overall really liked this film—it's a great summer "popcorn" movie, and the cast meshes well together, especially the chemistry between Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell. It pays homage to the original movie in parts, but stands on its own as well. I will say the special effects were not as great as I was hoping for—the original movie had awesome special effects, especially for a movie from 1996—but they are still fine overall.

The music in the movie was also really good (mostly country music, I believe) and meshed well with the film.

I'd give this film 4/5 stars—it's worth seeing, especially if you can buy/rent it to watch at home. 

GIVEAWAY:

Giveaway will end on Tuesday, August 27th at 11:59pm ET, and winners will be notified via email the next day.

Review: Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins

*Disclosure: I received a gift card to try the new Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Baskin-Robbins launched its Polar Pizza last month (July), as I talked about in my recent post about them, and because this past month was crazy busy for me, I didn't get to try the Polar Pizza until this past Sunday. My parents and I went to the combined Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin-Robbins near them, in Novi, MI, to split one of the ice cream pizzas.
