Description
Something unspeakably chilling is heating up The City of Angels. Beneath the famed La Brea Tar Pits, a raging volcano pushes to the surface, raining a storm of deadly fire bombs and an endless tide of white-hot lava upon the stunned city. Experience the pulse-pounding thrills as the dream capital of the world erupts into the stuff nightmares are made of. |

Get mindless for awhile with this 1997 disaster flick, starring the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles as a funky place for lava to spew, plus Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche as the brave souls who know how to shut off the spout. Director Mick Jackson (The Bodyguard) wastes no time getting to the good stuff--it's happening even before opening credits are over--and neither should anyone in the mood for technical efficiency without the burden of art. --Tom Keogh |

LA is hot! by mandy lopez (long beach, CA USA) 5 Stars
January 17, 2010
Ive watched this movie at least 20 times since I got it as a gift from my mom, it's awesome! I already love the tar pits, but the thought of hot magma shooting out of it is pretty darn exciting. Non stop destruction, nature is kicking butt in the city of Angels!

Volcano by Arnita D. Brown (USA) 5 Stars
January 05, 2010
Los Angeles. It is perhaps best known as the entertainment capital of the world--a sun-kissed golden metropolis of glitz and glamour. To others it represents something very different. Millions more recognize The City of Angels as the unwilling epicenter of virtually every natural disaster--including earthquakes, firestorms and mudslides. Now the city which has become almost a byword for disaster is about to experience its most cataclysmic event ever, one that will ultimately test its ability to survive. A vent in the earth's crust has unleashed an incredible force of nature. Volcano is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche are at there best. This action-packed movie has great action, effects, and a decent story.

Dante's Peak is better by Andrew F (Seattle, WA)  2 Stars
October 10, 2009
Anne Heche almost single-handly ruins this movie with her horrible over acting. Tom Lee Jones shows his one dimensional acting style and the rest of the cast submits mediocre performances as well. About the only thing done well was the lava, and I was rooting for it envelope Anne Heche and Tom Lee Jones in a fiery death. Unfortunately, they survive. This movie also trys to force a "we are the world" kind of theme, but showing how confronting lava can *gasp* bring people together in the force of adversity. A contrived plot device that could have definitely been left out. I think Dante's Peak captured a more realistic tone - when the eruption comes its pretty much everyone for themselves! If you do watch this movie, just watch it to root for the lava to destroy LA.

The Coast is Toast by Cute Chihuahua (Orient, OH USA) 5 Stars
October 08, 2009
This is a story about an earthquake that triggers the eruption of a hidden volcano under downtown L.A. and threatens to destroy the entire city and bring it to ruins. The main characters are Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. This movie is packed full of jaw-dropping special effects and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
