#DantesPeak (1997)
A volcanologist arrives at a countryside town recently named the second-most desirable place to live in America, and discovers that a nearby long-dormant volcano may awaken at any moment.

Anyways, this concludes my Live Toot of Dante's Peak, a movie most of you have either never seen or forgotten about. It's streaming on Amazon right now. If you find yourself in the mood for either volcanos, disasters, prime Linda Hamilton or Pierce Brosnan, I recommend.

In Dante's Peak, the leads know how to manage the clunky parts of the script. If you watch closely, you can see how they work lines which could be straight melodrama. They sigh them, they break them up with micropauses to let the audience get ahead, they mush them against other sentences to carry the scene past the holes, they de-emphasize them slightly while still meaning every word they say. It is elite craft, and many actors can't do it.

Dante's Peak is a better movie that Volcano because it had a better premise, better cast, better director, better effects, and the leads had genuine chemistry. Linda Hamilton and Pierce Brosnan are both so...disarming with their charm and blushes through the first half that I really got attached to them. Which made me fret for them all the more through the second half.

For a while I lived pretty close to the Tar Pits and they smell like asphalt and not sulphur. Because they were an asphalt quarry. but then people found mammoth bones and giant sloth bones and sabre tooth lion bones and that's why we know about any of those creatures at all.

But I digress

Aaaand credits roll.

That was good! I can't help but compare it to another volcano movie which came out the same year, 1997. Big year for volcano movies. That other film was called "Volcano" (imagine that) and was about a volcano erupting out of the La Brea tar pits and starred Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. A profoundly goofy film. Dante's Peak is much better, IMHO.
