On “The Core”

Well, you have to go if only for the cool, but completely gratuitous, special effects of whole cities being demolished by volcanic upheavals and earthquakes. Never mind that more than 90% of the world is severely underpopulated and underwater; geologic catastrophes of the celluloid variety always seem to pick New York City and Tokyo in some strange prescient fashion.

I am boycotting the movie for obvious reasons. As I did Earthquake, Volcano, Anaconda, and Lake Placid. Speaking of Lake Placid, this reminds me of Oliver Platt’s line from the movie, “I’m sure you didn“t know that. They hide information like that in books.” Sorry, natural phenomena just don’t have personal vendettas against human beings … but should. “Bovine Invasion” or “Attack of the 50 foot Kudzus” would have been more exciting movies to watch, if Hollywood were to create such features.

Thought Hilary Swank was smarter than this movie, too.
