Ice Twisters

Mark Moses, Camille Sullivan (2009) A disastrous experiment creates killer tornadoes that shoot shards of ice.

Syfy Saturday movie from 11/14.

Interesting that this movie has Alex Zahara and Dion Johnstone. Mainly because they both were actors who played a bunch of characters in the Stargate series. Usually under a bunch of make-up or prosthesis. But, you'd really have to be a gigantic SciFi nerd to know that. And an even giganticer nerd to realize that from seeing the people when they showed up on screen, without having to look it up.

Also, Duck Phillips from Mad Men is a novelist who writes about natural disasters. Lets see how he compares to our other favorite on-screen novelist. But its pretty dang hard to top anything involving Nathan Fillion. Apparently his novel is "Ionos-fear". He just took a big step up in my book. And he has a goattee.

Apparently the "Federal Science Foundation" exists. Guess they didn't want to slander the "National Science Foundation". Because they're inevitably going to be the evil ones. And by inevitably, I mean that they've been shown from almost the beginning to be responsible for everything. But, obviously, as they are a scientific organization, and thus, in Syfy-land, they are evil. Damned Science! Being all.... sciency.

So, Dion Johnstone is an office drone, working for the main bad guy who is hijacking the good research for evil purposes. Alex Zahara is a random guy working with the FSF (so, therefore a decently good guy) just got deathified by the titular ice twisters. Getting all perforated by ice shards or whatever.

And even though the doors of the building just got sucked open, and caused a security guard to be sucked into oblivion, the winds apparently aren't strong enough to blow over some antennas.

Actually, not a terrible movie. Not very good. But not terrible.

Also: "Senate Investigation Committee". That apparently exists.

You're assuming things in that movie exist. Pssht.
