“So, kiss me and smile for me.”

“So, kiss me and smile for me. Tell me that you'll wait for me. Hold me as you'll never let me go.” Leaving On a Jet Plane Lyrics - John Denver Once again, the world is threatened by Armageddon. A dangerous asteroid is heading straight for Earth. Our only hope will be to send a team of roughneck drillers to dig a hole big enough to place a bomb and shatter the meteor. This movie is lots of fun on many levels. It is a parody of disaster movies; however, the characters don’t know that they are a parody and play it straight. This allows us to have fun without having to listen to a bunch of campy, over-the-top one-liners that don’t match the movie. It’s a father-daughter story, and of all things, the father would have to be Bruce Willis, who brings his killer formula to the story and fits his part perfectly. The daughter played by Liv Tyler (before her The Lord of the Rings fame) adds a great catalyst to the story. The rest of the team is rounded off by contemporary actors of whom you will recognize immediately. The graphics and action, both explosive and human, will hold you to the end. This movie is worth watching over again so you can see the nuances that were missed the first time through. And you, knowing what will happen, can kibitz.
