THUNDER AND HURRICANE - Director Steven R. Hoover and Square Round Tables Productions brings You this funny and thoroughly entertaining film about two down and out, dimwitted Cousins who believe they have super powers after buying bogus "Power Rings" from a local store. Since the cousins (Silas & Rufus Blackwell) are such failures in life they decide to use their supposed new powers to make a name for themselves and fight crime as the superhero duo THUNDER & HURRICANE. After commiting a few acts of Superheroism in their town the duo catch the attention of a local reporter who has just moved to town. The reporter (Daisy) makes T & H front page news. At that same time a crime wave has the city in fear after several recent armed robberies. A strange Man named Joe approaches Silas and Rufus offering them Superhero training to sharpen their skills, but this mystery man secretly has other plans for Our Heroes.

See this great film for Yourself to see the exciting conclusion. Everything in this film worked for Me. The actors playing the starring roles (Danny Tanner as Rufus & Steven R. Hoover as Silas) were born to play them. The Duo compliment each other perfectly with all of the right timing and plenty of goofy expressions. There are many funny scenes in this film but one of My faves has got to be Rufus and Silas trying to get drunk off a six pack of quarter water fruit drinks after a particularly rough day. The supporting cast also does a great job in this film. Daisy (played by Molly Bailey Royer) is a perfert fit as real life Lois Lane type eager to get the big story. She also happens to have a crush on a certain bumbeling Superhero (I won't tell who). This film is not available for viewing online but the DVD of the film is available on Square Round Tables official website. The DVD is definitely worth buying since it's jam packed with cool stuff o'plenty like gag reels and deleted scenes. If You are a Superhero or Comic Book fan watch this film and take a minute or two to laugh at Yourself. Two Superheroic thumbs up!
