Latest disaster film makes critical imi
(AP) — Pre-millennial Holly
wood just loves doing in the
world. In the past couple of years
alone, filmmakers have besieged
us with alien nasties, poured
molten lava on our cities, loosed
deadly viruses upon our popu
lace, even sent killer tornados to
chase Helen Hunt.
In this environment of global
self-flagellation, mass destruction
by an errant comet was probably
inevitable. But who expected an
expensive disaster movie to be so
humanistic and watchable?
Deep Impact, the latest at
tempt to kill off humanity (sug
gested alternate title: “What If
the World Ended and MSNBC
Covered the Story?”), is top
notch sci-fi that also succeeds
pretty well as topnotch drama —
a believable account of a celestial
body that fell to Earth. It even
has character development.
Seems rising young MSNBC re
porter Jenny Lerner (Tea Leoni,
venturing into husband David
Duchovny’s sci-fi bailiwick), seek
ing a White House sex scandal,
stumbles onto something even
more dangerous than Monica
Lewinsky: an ELE, or extinction
level event — a comet on a colli
sion course with Earth.
The plot unfolds engagingly, if
not unpredictably, from there. But
it is the characters who make
Deep Impact rise above the ordi
nary Hollywood fare.
Director Mimi Leder makes the
most of her material with help
from able cinematographers, spe
cial effects artists and a gripping,
muted score by Janies

Bryan Hospital
has changed its name
5 times in 67 years.
And now we are
changing it again.
For the last time.
Honest.
When our hospital was founded in 1931 at the corner of 27th and Regent Street in Bryan, it made
sense to call it Bryan Hospital. When we moved to Memorial Drive in 1974, we were called
“the NEW Bryan Hospital”. And later we adopted the name of our owners: Humana B-CS.
When we moved to Rock Prairie Road in College Station in 1987, we became
Humana-Brazos Valley. After we joined the Columbia system, we chose the name
Brazos Valley Medical Center and later, Columbia Medical Center.
Now, with new focus on local management and local involvement in the health of our community, we've
changed our name again to better identify us with our location. Most hospitals are named after their loca
tion, even those which serve multiple towns or counties. We asked lots of local people
(business leaders, members of the health care community and our employees) for recommendationsTW
all said make it local, make it short and make it permanent. Our Board ofTrustees selected
College Station Medical Center for obvious reasons: it was local, short and permanent.
We’re proud of the 67 years we’ve spent providing healthcare to families in this area. And we’re
proud of our state-of-the-art facility on Rock Prairie Road. And, after the new wears off, we think
you will agree that we finally found a name that will last.
