The Dark Herald’s Top 5 Asteroid Movies

For no reason whatsoever… …I have decided, completely out of the blue, to do an Asteroid movie listicle.   Planet Impact films are a subgenre of disaster flicks.   These stories have been around for a while.  Arguably H.G.

And Hamada and company have decreed...
