...attacks themselves. People are so stunned, and stupefied by the attacks that they have not reacted yet. One thing is sure -- there is a full out terrorist war in Moscow." No one has claimed responsibility for the bomb, which is the third attack on Moscow's vulnerable public transport system since explosives in the subway killed four people on June 11. At a meeting of the Federal Security Service, Yeltsin said Moscow was littered with terrorists and promised he and Luzhkov would take tough measures. The two bus attacks follow a Wednesday agreement by Yeltsin and his newly appointed national...
...curious way, Crichton and Martin have outsmarted themselves. To begin with, tornadoes don't make very good movie villains. They're big and scary, all right, but there is a certain sameness in their MOs. If you've seen one of them transport a large object from point A to point B, you've pretty much seen them all.

Thus America will bid an unsentimental farewell to 30,600 tons of chemical weapons...
While "Female Transport" was grating, "White Squall," another true story, this one about the fateful 1960 voyage of the school ship Albatross, is manipulative. Through annoying direction and a terrible script, you are forced to care about all of the characters, setting up an emotional windfall after several of them drown. However, if you're too busy laughing at lines like, "Do you know what's out there? Some wind and rain and some damn big waves," you'll hardly have time...
