Er, not literally – but a survey of Disaster-themed films.:) Disaster-themed films have been around for a while, but they really took off from the mid-90s onwards when advances in computer-generated imaging made it possible to render onscreen scenes that

It was Hannah’s Vaccination Day today, but I was able to apply leave from work several weeks ago so that the both of us could bring Hannah to see her Pediatrician for the inoculations. I’m not sure what Hannah was

Defiance (2008) – on rental. Director Edward Zwick doesn’t make a lot of films, but I’ve always liked his output. There was the Oscar-winning Glory in 1989, The Last Samurai (Tom Cruise not withstanding LOL), and the semi-recent Blood Diamonds.
