  "account": "\"13 Minutes\" is a movie about a massive tornado devastating a town, but it's not just about the chaos and destruction. The film is more of a character study, focusing on four interconnected families dealing with various personal issues like immigration, racism, and family secrets. The story opens with Anne Heche's character, Tammy, watching a storm roll over her family's land, followed by a barn explosion that forces her to battle the flames alone with her husband Rick. Meanwhile, other characters like Ana, Kim, Jess, and Thora Birch's character, Jess, are dealing with their own problems. The tornado doesn't hit until almost an hour into the film, but it serves as a catalyst for the film's real tension, which lies within the characters themselves.",
  "summary": "While the 1960 original was never meant to be a franchise, \"Psycho II\" brings Norman Bates home for a surprisingly clever '80s thriller.",
