Semi-Weekly Movie Review: Volcano

This one's a little old. I'm watching it right now on TNT. A giant volcano erupts in the middle of downtown LA. I think this is the first movie I saw with Don Cheadle in it. What a great actor. Tommy Lee Jones is pretty solid. This one came out along wit h Dante's Peak starring Pierce Brosnon (pre-Bond). Advantage: Volcano. Not to mention the tag line: "The Coast is Toast". Gotta love the rhymes, man. I remember watching this one in the theater. I was blown away by the lava special effects. Of course it's only made-for-the-Lifetime-network quality compared to the current fare. Amazing how far they've come. I'm wondering how much gray ash they can drop on Jone's head right now. Well, anyway the word of the day is "rival".
