      Brad Stamp: We need to get better informed. I want a direct feed from every observatory that you can get a hold of and I want them patched in here as soon as possible.

      Patel: Anchorage, Norikura, Las Campanas.

      Brad Stamp: I don't care if it's my nephew who's back there with a pair of binoculars. I want them all online. I want to know if so much as a bottle rocket goes off.

    Ozone alert!
    I will give you two reasons for watching this sci-fi potboiler about a solar burst that threatens to wipe out all life on our planet: martial artist Mark Dascascos as a disgraced scientist who figures out how to save the Earth and Lou Gossett Jr. as a black (!) U.S. president who decides to go along with Dascascos' seemingly harebrained plan. I will watch anything with Dascacos, and being a Baby Boomer, I will always give Mr. Gossett the benefit of the doubt (IRON EAGLE, anyone?). The rest of this is pure crap. Terrible special effects, terrible dialog and way too much talking and standing around. Dascascos does not get to kick much behind in this one. So if you want to see Dascascos in action, watch the French thriller BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF.
