For those of you that really know me and those that know me a little, you should all know that I am sucker for big budget disaster movies. I keep it no secret that Independence Day, Twister, The Core, The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, and War of the Worlds, rank up there as some of my most favorite movies. I just love disaster films, or films that involve modern day architecture being destroyed by CGI. Watching a tornado plow through downtown L.A., or watching the Golden Gate Bridge melt, or seeing comets destroy buildings, gets me pumped up for movies.

Speaking of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, Roland Emmerich, who directed both of those films, has another disaster/end of the world flick coming out called “2012.” A teaser debuted back in November giving us a taste of the destruction Emmerich has planned for the world this time around, and today we have the second full-length trailer and let me tell you, WOW! (thanks Troy) I am trying to hold back my enthusiasm, but I just can’t. It’s a big budget disaster film starring John Cusack! That’s amazing! It’s nice to see John get out there and do one of these big popcorn flicks every once in a while.

Emmerich knows how to deliver big movies and take us on a thrill ride that we all hope and pray never happens in real life.

What do you think? Are you a fan of disaster movies? What are some of your favorites?
