Dante's Peak (1997)

Dante's Peak - the first of this summer's pair of magma-spurting neo-disaster flicks - can easily be described as "Twister With Lava", so let's do so. However, a fair amount of fun is to be had from watching it go through its old-skool disaster-movie motions. Extremely traditional in its construction (the first two thirds are build-up, the last third boom), it's a well played, convincingly filmed entry in the current cycle - just not a ground-breaking one. Except, of course, in the literal sense.
