Avalanche (1999)
7/10
It's actually a winner
13 September 2022
My friends parents would always be grabbing disaster movies like this at blockbuster and I would always end up watching them on sleepovers when I was a kid. Not Armageddon, not even Deep Impact, some poor impressionable sod grabbed Meteor Movie 4 down the line, ya feel me? This era of disaster movie is so cozy it's sublime.

The first line, after what should have been a life ending snowmobile roll, is "Sorry Alicia, I zigged when I should have zagged". It's tasty.

The polar bear scene is a real treat & Tiny really stole the show. It's a film about environmentalism, second chances & healing from trauma. I loved Neal's relationship with Annie, what a snowbunny! Lea is insufferable throughout. Do I seem fired up about this movie?

"I'll show you fired up, woman - I'll show you fired up."
