I think Bruce Willis blew up a meteor in "Armageddon". The movie you're speaking of is "Deep Impact". I liked that one because it was one of the best sci-fi stories with a heart ... and it had Robert Duvall in it, too.

Bad Astronomy reviewed Armageddon for technical flaws. I loved one paragraph in the review:

And another thing: why do movie asteroids only target big cities? I bet Ithaca, New York got hit too, but I guess watching students from Cornell running around in panic isn't as much fun as watching a guy and his dog in the streets of Manhattan. I will say though that the Paris sequence was very well done. Sacre bleu!

Mmmmm, Cornell hit by an asteroid.

Oh, and another thing! Tea Leoni is arguing with her dad in one of those drenching studio downpours. Anyway, she gets in the last word, steps into the street, raises her arm, and a taxi screeches to a halt in front of her.

And did I mention it's at night? In DC?
