Corrected entry: When Swagger is laying in bed recovering at his spotter's girlfriend's house, there is a lamp with the shade pulled below the bulb that is turned off on the desk, but the mirror has the lamp turned on?

Galaxy Quest (1999)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the show, in the convention where Guy is introducing the crewmembers, Alexander bows with his hand open, when he straightens out his hand is closed.
Correction: It's done in one shot. He opened and closed his hand while bowing. There is no discontinuity and no mistake here.

The Descent (2005)
Corrected entry: When Sara is running through the hospital hall at the start of the film and Beth stops her, no medical personnel even give her second glance or offer help.
Correction: Why is this a plot hole? Sarah is distraught and her friend is comforting her. The medical staff would most likely be fairly used to seeing upset relatives of their patients and would therefore not approach them unless they were doing something that required their intervention.

The Descent (2005)
Corrected entry: Obviously these girls are amateurs, I do not believe any responsible caver would throw flares in a first descent, or that a seasoned climber would place a cam upside down (second cam placement shown in first hole crossing) and last but not least, not lock off a belay resulting in her partner's fall and hand injury.
Correction: They are amateurs, or at best, novices, who think they are more experienced than they are. How is this a mistake? All the things you mentioned are character mistakes, and things to be expected from spelunkers who get in over their heads.
They regularly mention their "climbing days." Locking off the belay is the most important rope technique in climbing. The cam is used implying it's gear that's been used before and buying used active protection is not a thing anyone does.

The Descent (2005)
Corrected entry: When the girls rap down to the base of the entry hole, no one has a Dewalt hammer drill hanging off their harness. At the traverse across the first hole Becca lugs one across which disappears in future scenes.
Correction: The extra equipment is in a bag that one of the girls is carrying. It's the same bag that they lose when the cave-in happens. However, they did retrieve a few items from the bag before it was lost, including the hammer.

Correction: What you see above the lampshade is not a lightbulb, it is a lamp finial. If you pause the movie at 00:53:01 you can see a dimpled texture to this finial ball. The mirror is angled out from the wall - which is obvious when paused at this timestamp. Therefore, what you are seeing is a 'birdseye' view of the illumination from the bulb below.
