The amount of suckage from that earthquake movie is waaaaaay past 10.5 on the Suck-O-Meter. yeah, I was expecting it to be bad..but how bad? This bad: they show a scene of a tv broadcast and the crawl on the bottom of the news screen says that “marshal law” is in effect. Hmmm..think maybe they meant martial law?

How can you live in a place like California, the terrestrial equivalent of Jell-O, and not have at least three ways out of the state mapped off? Or have your emergency gear ready to go on a moments notice? Take the freeway? Its LA for cryin’ out loud, traffic is a mess even on a good day…add a couple million panicked motorists and all you have is a parking lot.

Well, maybe “Day After Tomorrow” will be more entertaining.

Biggest amusement for me: waiting for Fred Ward to tell ‘the President’ that the source of the tremors is graboid activity. Paging Burt Gummer, paging Burt Gummer…

Oh, and someone get Kim Delaney some acting lessons huh?
