Brad

Corrected entry: In the scene where they get the idea for Bella to drink blood, Jacob moves to the other side of the couch away from Bella twice.

Brad

Correction: Jacob does move twice, but it is not the same shot. First, he is next to Bella (to keep her warm) before moving away. After a brief interval, he moves from that spot to even farther away and then on to an adjacent sofa.

raywest

Corrected entry: Moira McTaggert, who has NO mutant powers to prevent her aging, is shown to be in her 30s in this movie set in the 60s. The X-Trilogy is set in the 2000s according to the novelization. That's a gap of 50 years, so Moira should be in her 70s in the trilogy. Yet, when we see her in X-Men 3, she's barely pushing 40.

Brad

Correction: First, she's never stated to be in her 30's in First Class. She could very well be in her 20's. Second, she's never stated to be in her 40's in X3, she could be much older, having merely aged gracefully. Finally, the novelization is not movie canon. It's a separate medium.

Star Trek (2009)

Corrected entry: If Starfleet has border protection grids surrounding its planets, as Nero says, then how could he easily get past Vulcan's defenses?

Brad

Correction: Because Nero's ship is 100 years more advanced than anything the Federation has.

Guy

Corrected entry: In the scene where Lavender dies, her head is facing away from us while Fenrir Greyback is biting her neck. After Fenrir is blown out the window, her head is turned toward us, conveniently so we can see who just died.

Brad

Correction: That is wrong. When Greyback is attacking Lavender and is then blown out the window, her head is pointing to the left-hand side of the screen and her face is turned away. The camera shifts its angle, and Lavender is now seen from the "opposite" side, with her head still tilted in the same position, but her body is now pointing to the right, showing her face to the audience.

raywest

Corrected entry: In the scene in the Russian diplomat's bedroom, Erik tightens the bar around Emma's neck so hard that it cracks her diamond neck. Erik says that she can't become diamond again without dying. At the end of the movie, she shifts into diamond form and the cracks in her neck are gone.

Brad

Correction: Erik meant that he would kill her if she changed into her diamond form again. The cracks in her neck not reappearing imply that her diamond form can regenerate itself.

Phaneron

Corrected entry: In the original script, Skids and Mudflap were to make their return, only to be killed by Sentinel Prime. Due to such a negative reaction to their appearance in Revenge of the Fallen, Michael Bay removed them from the film. However, there is still one shot in the film where you can see them. When the Autobots are entering NEST headquarters, Skids and Mudflap in vehicle mode are right behind Q.

Brad

Correction: This scene was edited for the film to wipe out Skids and Mudflap. They don't appear in the finished cut of the film. If you saw them then I suggest you get a hold of Michael Bay. He put up a $25,000 guarantee to anyone who could find Skids or Mudflap in the film.

dablues7

Corrected entry: Optimus uses the Matrix of Leadership to revive Sentinel Prime. Only problem is that the Matrix was in the Sun Harvester that was destroyed by Optimus at the end of the second movie.

Brad

Correction: Optimus had plenty of time between ROTF and this movie to retrive the Matrix from the rubble of the sun harvester. As important as the Matrix is, Optimus isnt going to just leave it.

X-Men 3 (2006)

Correction: You mean Mystique can't change her hair color when she is in human (prequel) form? In the X-Men: First Class prequel she struggled with people accepting her "looks" so when making herself look "normal" she clearly makes her hair blonde too.

Easy A (2010)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Brandon asks Olive out, the picture on Olive's desktop is constantly changing throughout the scene. This also occurs during the scene where Olive's mom gives her Brandon's gift.

Brad

Correction: This is because her desktop background is playing a slideshow of pictures.

TRON: Legacy (2010)

Corrected entry: Early in the movie, Sam is riding downtown on his motorcycle. He rides past a radar gun which rates his speed at 8.6 (not 86). Hardly fast enough to be chased by a police motorcycle.

Brad

Correction: The 8.6 on the readout of the radar gun is the time in seconds it took to get the speed Sam was traveling at, which was the other number on the display, 103. Sam was going 103 mph, not 8.6.

Corrected entry: While investigating the Statue of Liberty, Ben says, "Laboulaye had to leave a clue somewhere". However, when he says this, his mouth doesn't move.

Brad

Correction: Mr. Cage has a tendency to speak without moving his mouth a lot and as he says those lines with the camera to his back, it is difficult to claim that he is not moving his mouth at all.

Very true... In most of his movies he speaks without moving his lips.

Corrected entry: During the first training sequence, Tuffnut and Ruffnut are fighting over a shield. After Ruffnut hits Tuffnut with the shield, she holds it in her hand, but in the next shot, they are both holding onto the shield.

Brad

Correction: On that scene, Ruffnut had always both hands on the shield.

The Green Hornet (2011)

Corrected entry: SPOILER: In the flashback of Scanlon killing Britt's father, it is nighttime when he kills him. But Britt's father died the same day as when Britt woke up with the hot girl after the party. When Britt sees the news report about his father's death, it's daytime the same day. There was no time for Scanlon to wait till nighttime to kill him.

Brad

Correction: The flashback was shot in black and white with an angle from the top. With ample light in the scene there is not enough clues to imply that he killed his father at night. Your confusion is understandable.

You must have watched a different movie. The scene wasn't shot in black and white or from an angle from the top. The car in the background at James Reid's house has its lights on to indicate it's night.

Kick-Ass (2010)

Corrected entry: When Red Mist shoots Hit Girl, Big Daddy is devastated. Yet, earlier in the movie, he was seen training his daughter to withstand bullet hits. Surely, he would remember this and realize that she's okay.

Brad

Correction: His daughter just got shot by someone trying to kill her. "Training" or no, that's still going to affect a father. And bear in mind that she also falls backwards out of a window.

Minority Report (2002)

Corrected entry: After Witwer is killed, Lara calls Burgess, who asks, "Has he got the precog with him?" to which Lara responds, "Yes". But Lara has never seen a precog. How would she know what a precog looks like?

Brad

Correction: Lara may not have seen one before, but it's hardly unreasonable for her to make the assumption that the woman with Anderton is the missing precog. Who else could she be? Anderton's hardly going to have stopped to pick up a date.

Tailkinker

Corrected entry: The whole reason for locking Susan up in the facility is to keep her a secret from the outside world. One tiny problem though: About a hundred people at her wedding saw her grow into a giantess. That's not something you forget very easily. Even later, when she visits Derek and her parents, they have little to no reaction to her changed self. Shouldn't the government have taken precautions to make sure they wouldn't blab?

Brad

Correction: This is a question, not a mistake. We don't see what containment measures the Government takes after removing Susan from the wedding; they may have sworn everyone to secrecy or face imprisonment. When Susan goes to visit Derek and her parents the people are the same ones who attended the wedding, they've already seen Susan's big change.

BocaDavie

Corrected entry: After Optimus Prime dies, there is a shot of Soundwave saying "Decepticons, mobilize". In this shot, you can see that Soundwave is not connected to the military satellite, when he is in a later scene.

Brad

Correction: The gaps in time between shots of Soundwave are large enough to assume that he would attach and detach from the satellites as needed.

GameBlade

Corrected entry: It's been established that when werewolves morph back to their human forms, their clothes don't morph with them. When Jacob morphs back after being attacked by the vampire, he is naked. Yet, seconds later, when Leah morphs back, she is fully clothed. Fair enough: she could've stashed her clothes somewhere in the clearing, but she had no time to change into her clothes. It'd have to be the fastest change in human history.

Brad

Correction: Leah is off camera for several seconds while morphing back to human form (we don't see her morph on camera). All she's wearing is shorts and a tank top; considering how fast they move she had sufficient time to pull on those two pieces of clothing.

BocaDavie

Corrected entry: Part of the plot hinges on the fact that the music department has limited funds and is in danger of being shut down. And yet the Chipettes' performance at the school is on a expensive-looking stage with a very sophisticated lighting system. Nice use of budget.

Brad

Correction: That system obviously wasn't put in that same year. It's from years gone by, when the district had more money to devote to the music program. It could also have come from money for the drama department, and the music department simply takes advantage of the fact that they're there. The budget money goes to the ones who bring cash back into the school.

Phixius

Corrected entry: At the end of the Golden Gate Bridge scene, B.O.B. does not get off the bridge before it collapses and no one goes back to save him. But he is seen on the remaining half of the bridge looking down on the scene.

Brad

Correction: It's very quick but as the bridge collapses, you can see Bob standing right at the edge of the where the bridge breaks on the safe side. It's shown right after Susan picks up Dr. Cockroach.
