  1. Hi Moviedoc! Thought I'd check your blog out. I searched your blog for one that looking at these made me think of and it didn't find it. I have a thing for non-rated R non gory disaster movies, anyway, The Core, there's a part where they are in a giant geode inside the mantle (yes, impossible but go with it) and they go out in their suits to cut away a giant amethyst crystal that is blocking their laser thingies that get them through solid stuff (not diamonds tho). Anyway, the lines on the hot torch cutter thing get messed up or the feed goes, and one of the scientist heroes attaches his suit's oxygen feed to the hot torch cutter's feeds so it can keep going. I suppose it's for his ultimate survival but he is risking immediate survival, he risks death to save the situation. So I don't know if this counts. His heart rate goes all iffy and stuff so probably, he passes out, it's all dramatic and stuff. Anyway, you can probably put it more concisely than I can after you watch it, if you bother. It's an entertaining movie, if improbable. Nice easter egg of, when the birds due to magnetic field being messed with have their navigation messed up, are whirling against a storefront, flinging against it, one of them is actually a fish, if you watch close or slow it down, it's right at the end of the bird problem.

  2. Thanks Sarebear. Top of my queue but "very long wait." So hard to find a non-R, and I like Hilary (and sci-fi). She's from near here. Will look for that fish.
