    • The Celluloid Cynic Reviews: Volcano

      Volcano, one of the major disaster movies sharing a theme in 1997 has Tommy Lee Jones taking on the earth itself. Disaster movie or a disaster of a movie... Time for the cynical once over.This is kind of a beta version of a new series, based on my Nasty Review series but expanded. I fully acknowledge the influence of the Nostalgia Critic and the Cinema Snob for which I ask your indulgence. My style is developing and I hope you don't find the 'borrows' to be too much. ; My gratitude and respect...
