	Chapter 3: Under the Volcano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Film critic Pauline Kael is closer when she writes that "Lowry had a mystique about alcohol: he somehow got himself to believe that this self-destruction (and only this self-destruction) would give him access to the states of mind necessary to set words on fire.
		The film opens with a long shot of a volcano, and a quick cut to a medium shot of the Consul (Albert Finney, in an extraordinary characterization) in evening clothes walking with the deliberateness of inebriation through a cemetery amongst the people visiting the graves of their departed relatives.
		Of course, Lowry is misremembering the film inasmuch as Orlac was not a murderer in the film.

	Volcano (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volcano is an action drama released in 1997.
		The premise for the movie is loosely based on the appearance of Parícutin, a volcano which emerged from a farmer's field in Mexico.
		The depiction of the behavior of volcanoes and lava in the rest of the movie, however, is for entertainment rather than scientific accuracy.

	NOVA \| Volcano Under the City \| Behind the Scenes \| PBS
		Filming in an environment as hostile as a volcano demands not just a great deal of preparation but also a lot of equipment.
		To facilitate the transport of the scientific materials, film gear, food, and other supplies, we installed what essentially amounts to an elevator between the edge of the crater and the spot where we were working.
		When there wasn't any wind, the volcano's gas plume and cinders rose straight up from the lava lake skyward, and the air around us on the plateau was relatively clear.

	Volcano Safety - John Seach
		Areas on the flanks of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes in Hawaii beyond 10 km from the summit are at risk during an eruption.
		The crew had to be rescued from the volcano after one week, leaving behind thousands of dollars worth of equipment, a failed expedition, wasted filming budget, and lucky to escape with their lives.
		Volcanoes generate their own weather which can be severe and different from that only a few km away.

	Korean Movie Review \| Volcano High (2001) Hyuk Jang, Min-a Shin
		The film will no doubt be considered another "Matrix"-rip-off by kids who thinks the "Matrix" was the first film ever made by modern civilization.
		In fact, "Volcano High"'s ending sequence, where two characters square off while afloat in the air, is almost a scene-by-scene translation of the final battle sequence in Proyas' film.
		The film also has some nice visual flairs, with cinematographer Yeong-taek Choi and director Tae-gyun using a bleached-out style reminiscent of David O'Russell's "Three Kings." The film looks good and camerawork by Choi is appropriately wacky and loose, meaning the camera climbs up walls and does wild maneuvers right alongside the characters.

	Volcano High (KOREA 2001)
		Volcano High is a bizarre high school in the near future, where every student is a martial artist and their respective clubs jockey for supremacy.
		That is, until the ending of the film, which doesn't really fulfill the cathartic blowout you'd expect.
		As such, the film rates as primo background chatter, which is great for parties or conversation.

	VFX HQ: VOLCANO
		The film is a fiery, fast-paced disaster flick in the truest sense.
		VOLCANO's heroes spend most of their time trying to control the slow-moving lava flow, spurting from its origin just off of Wilshire Blvd., in the heart of L.A. Nearly all of the Wilshire Blvd. shots were actually taken at a 80% scale replica of the street (built without rooftops), rigged with hundreds of propane explosions.
		The film never slows down, and is the most pure disaster film in many years, since it doesn't fool around with character or story.

	Songs of the Volcano: Papua New Guinea Stringbands with Bob Brozman
		The purpose of filming and recording the performances was partly to document this fragile music before it disappears, and partly to facilitate the musicians in Papua New Guinea where there is an astonishing lack of musical infrastructure.
		The volcano Tavurvur, which had destroyed eighty per cent of the town in a violent eruption in 1994, was still spewing out tonnes of fine volcanic ash, which sometimes got a bit lumpier and fell like snow.
		The film explores the highs and lows of this musical journey, the joys and the difficulties of recording in a society of subsistence farmers, where even a microphone is a luxury.

	Volcano High
		Volcano High is the name of a special Korean high school and in this school, some students possess telekinetic powers and other martial arts abilities.
		The plot is simple, but this is not a film to bang on about it's dramatic virtues; it is very much like watching a live-action Japanese manga.
		Probably the film was based on a manga series, and in which case, I hope there is a sequel in the works.

	Volcano High
		Volcano High is a Korean action-comedy-special effects extravaganza set in a high school in which all the kids and teachers have psychic powers and spend more time dueling than studying.
		Some of this is filmed quite cleverly, and the shattered glass and water drops make pretty patterns in the air.
		The resulting film may be so bland that no choices appear to have been made at all.

	Filmtracks: Joe Versus the Volcano (Georges Delerue)
		Much of the remaining score was undermixed in the film, deflating the impact that it had to parts of the love story.
		Ironically, the most notable use of music in the film itself is the humorous adaptation of "Hava Nagila" and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," arranged by Delerue himself, into the tribal chants of the "Waponis" that appear near the end of the film.
		How these "Masters Film Music" albums exactly differ from the CD Club albums (a series which has also recently resumed in the past year) isn't entirely clear, but the fact remains that Joe Versus the Volcano is also a limited pressing of 3,000 albums.

		The answer, according to "Volcano," is that several thousand feet of the most expensive part of Wilshire Boulevard and the Beverly Center would be destroyed, while the rest of the city would be covered with gray ash, and set on fire by flying lava bombs.
		Instead, she is the one person in the film who knows what will happen ahead of time but is ignored until too late.
		Secondly, the special effects for Volcano are much scarier and more convincing than in previous films like "Twister." The realism of this film is up for the scientists to decideÑ although I noticed that the molten lava in this film, unlike the lava in "Dante's Peak," is hot enough to pop and melt rubber tires.

	INKPOT MOVIE REVIEWS: VOLCANO
		The first hour of the film presents the build-up to the eruption, and the fine acting of Jones and Anne Heche conveys their bewilderment as they try to figure out the strange phenomenon surrounding the Brea Tar Pits.
		Volcano The movie is a another movie taken on the concept of natural disasters so it has a natural boost and curiosity among people.
		'Volcano' is one of those sad, sorry excuses for a film that falls prey to this occurance.

	Volcano (1997)
		At the start of the film, we're given an extremely cursory introduction to each of the many different folks we'll follow throughout the movie.
		Because the character was handled realistically (well, as realistically as one can depict a space monkey) and because his relationships with the audience and the cast were developed in such a way that we really grew to care for him.
		Just in case we missed the point, the film ends with a wee lad surveying a crowd of adults who are covered in ash - "Look at their faces!" he squeals.

	Natural Born Viewers: VOLCANO HIGH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		"Volcano High" has to be the stupidest movie title since "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever", and all I had read about it were mixed opinions.
		One of my problems with films like this is the use of extremely long names.
		And while the camera angles and the visuals in this film are quite impressive, it is apparent that either the Koreans got a 5th rate Hong Kong stunt crew to work on these fights, or they haven't grasped the wire work quite right.

	'Volcano' leads box office (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		LOS ANGELES (AP) - ''Volcano'' was the top money-maker at the box office, but its relatively modest $14.6 million take was a disappointment to 20th Century Fox.
		The film's weekend earnings were $4 million below the opening receipts for another volcano film, ''Dante's Peak,'' in February.
		Among films out in limited release, the family movie ''Shiloh'' took in $115,700 on 70 screens, while the urban coming-of-age drama ''All Over Me'' snared $27,200 on five screens.

		Similarly when I see a disaster film, particularly one in which the menace is caused by something scientific, I ask myself is it a good story and is it scientifically accurate.
		It is certainly the better of the two volcano films being released this spring.
		Its message is that volcanoes are immensely powerful forces of nature and even with the help of technology about the best we can hope for from a confrontation is to get away alive.

		The central idea is pretty terrific: a volcano erupts and forms an eruption cone in downtown Los Angeles in the La Brea Tar Pits, causing lava to flow through the city, but somehow that doesn't seem to be enough.
		That could be because of the Steve McQueen factor, which contrives to spoil the tension of the film at an important moment.
		There were plenty of opportunities for the film makers to really grab the attention of the audience, by for example having young Gaby cook, but sadly that sort of thing doesn't fit the formula they think the public will pay to see.

	Under the Volcano Film Review - Time Out Film
		Everyone will be doing Huston's film a favour if they try hard not to compare it with the now classic Malcolm Lowry novel.
		As the limp-wristed observers of this manic process, Andrews and Bisset are at best merely decorative, at worst an embarrassment, and the film's success rests largely on an (often literally) staggering performance from Finney as the dipso diplo.
		Slurring sentences, sweating like a pig, wobbling on his pins, he conveys a character who is still, somehow, holding on to his sense of love and dignity.

		The film, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche, really was long on lava and, as far as I could tell, had only one small—quite small, really—volcano.
		In the first act of Volcano: The Film That Shamefully Misrepresents Its Content, we learn that Stan Olber, head of the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and Mike Roark (Tommy Lee Jones), head of the Office of Emergency Management, have trouble cooperating when their respective jurisdictions overlap.
		As for Volcano, I was neither hurt nor angered by it.

		Many seem to have hashed "Volcano" which came out around the same time as "Dante's Peak" and it's a shame because both of them are highly realistic and te things that happen in them could literally happen in real life.
		The scenes with the volcano erupting were quite spectacular but they were not enough to carry the film.
		The film itself is an uplifting one; a tribute to the human spirit.

	Filmtracks: Volcano (Alan Silvestri)
		The curious aspect of the score for Volcano rests in the fact that it, like the film, lacks a personality above and beyond the genre it was composed for.
		In other words, just as the film was another run-of-the-mill urban disaster flick with poor acting and dazzling special effects, the score has the same kind of two-dimensional feel to it.
		Some might say that this makes a perfect fit for the film, but the score had already been asked to carry too much of the action.

	Film Review: Volcano - Just another bad day in the disaster capital of the world (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Better yet, the blobs in Volcano become responsible for the destruction of a good portion of Los Angeles, which is always a reliable way to win over an audience.
		Volcano is typical Hollywood schlock that will rouse at best a moderate amount of interest from the movie-going public before the real summer blockbusters start rolling out a few weeks from now.
		At this point, the movie kicks into auto-pilot mode as it ditches its lousy excuse for a story and treats the audience to a good hour or so of fiery explosions and whiz-bang special effects, most of which consist of superb digital compositing of live actors with fake lava.
