Corrected entry: In the last competition long program, Casey's program has special lighting, but in normal competitions, they never have special lighting and effects. In all competitions, the music has vocals, but in ice rinks it is extremely difficult to understand vocals in songs.The music is also much too good to actually be in an ice rink, because it would be terrible sound quality. The sound of the music also sounds the same wherever the camera is and there is no variation as if it were actually moving around. In the last competition, Casey also stands still and stares at her mom for a while. This would not normally happen in an ice skating program because she is not finishing her program. Aso, in every competition were she falls down, she stays down for much too long. In real life, she would loose so many points and it would make a huge difference to her score. The first competition she would probably end up coming about 8th or probably 10th, and in the second competition with the special lighting, she would not get such high scores. they are much too high for falling down once and staying there for such a long time. In the long program for the second competition, we also do not see the lighting change. Their faces are lit up the same way and the ice looks the same behind them until Casey is suddenly on the ice. If you watch carefully, when Casey walks to take the ice, she seems about a meter away from the barrier, when the camera changes she is suddenly on the ice. (01:25:35)

The Lovely Bones (2009)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Suzie's dad is sitting with his face next to a candle, staring out the window into the dark of the night, his and the candles' reflections are shown in the glass. The movement of the fire on the candle is not the same as the movement of its reflection.
Correction: It's not supposed to be the same. It's an indication of Suzie's spirit trying to make contact with him. That's the whole point of the scene.

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Corrected entry: When Wesker gives a shot (some kind of a injection), he takes all Alice's powers yet she manages to survive a plane crash where nothing is left in the plane. The plane was moving high speed directly into the terrain (mountain), and we can see Alice plummet directly to the ground. How can a human survive that?
Correction: Non-superheroic people survive plane crashes, too.

The American (2010)
Corrected entry: Never heard of bullet-speeds being expressed in mph, usually in meters per second or feet per second. Anyhow, 360 mph is still well above the sound barrier, so any suppressor or silencer will NOT silence the sharp whip-like crack of a bullet going through the sound barrier.
Correction: 360 mph is about half the speed of sound.

The Life of David Gale (2003)
Corrected entry: When Bitsey and the intern stop at the rest stop on their way to Hunstville, the intern gets out of the car and hurries to the bathroom he enters into the women's restroom, not the men's. (00:08:40)
Correction: Have you never gone into the wrong restroom by mistake, especially when in a hurry? If it happens in real life, it's not necessarily a movie mistake.

Predators (2010)
Corrected entry: The newly formed crew begin trekking through the area and arrive at cliff where they look up to see several planets/moons. - At any point in time, they could have seen this if they looked up. A cliff would only provide a view of something below their current horizon, and should not reveal anything new above the horizon.
Correction: They were in the middle of a jungle, with lots of overhead foliage and cover. This blocks the overhead view. I live in forests and mountains. When hiking, you can't see the mountain across the valley, or the sun and clouds until you get to an open, high area, much like in the movie.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Corrected entry: The story implies from the pictures and the flashbacks that there were at least 10 kids that attended the preschool. Five of which are currently friends or classmates. None of them remember the preschool? None of them remember the abuse? Its hard to believe that ALL of those kids could suppress such traumatic memories of being abused by the gardener at the preschool.
Correction: Not all of the kids were abused. It's possible half of them didn't remember being at the preschool, those five being the friends. We don't know if the other kids remembered or not, whether they were abused or not, as the only thing we know is they are dead.

Fright Night (1985)
Corrected entry: When Charlie and Peter Vincent are trying to save the Charlie's girlfriend, Peter says they can save her if they kill the vampire before dawn. When they knock out the windows in the basement to let light in, that's an indication it's not before dawn, it's after. Yet, they still save the girl.
Correction: True, Dandridge was not yet "dead", but he was not "sleeping" either. His rest was disturbed, he was battling for survival since before dawn, the battle just lasted until the sun rose. Since he was not in his rest state at dawn, we can assume she didn't undergo the transformation as usual.
22nd Nov 2002
Fright Night (1985)
Corrected entry: When Jerry Dandridge is about to drop Charley out the window, if you watch the upper right hand corner of the screen when he starts pushing him out, you see Charley's shirt rip from the nails in the window. But you never see, or hear about it again.
Correction: We don't need to hear about it again, it's not a plot point.
15th Aug 2010
Moonlight (2007)
Corrected entry: In the first episode, Mick states that Josef is four hundred years old. In "The Ringer", Josef says that he was four years old in 1603, meaning he was born in 1599. He is actually about four hundred and seven, since the show takes place when it was filmed in modern-day 2007.
Correction: Rounding time and ages up or down, especially when so close to a centenary point is common practice. People still say it's been 500 years since Columbus discovered America, even though it's really been 518 years.
17th Oct 2010
Family Guy (1999)
Death Lives - S3-E6
Corrected entry: When Peter is in the van with Cleveland, Cleveland's voice is slow and how it normally is, except it shouldn't be. In another episode, Peter recounted that Cleveland was an auctioneer and was hit with an antique which made his voice slow.
Correction: Being a caller at an auction is a skill that needs to be learned. Since Cleveland originally spoke slowly, it's more likely that he began to speak faster once trained as an auctioneer, but the antique hitting him made him revert to his normal slow speaking voice.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Corrected entry: When the scientists go into the black lagoon, their boat is named Rita. Their lifeboat is also named Rita. All boats are given different names, so it would be impossible for the lifeboat and the boat to both be named Rita.
Correction: The lifeboats on the Titanic also had Titanic on them. It is simply to show where the lifeboat came from.
Correction: There is no law requiring boat owner to give each craft a different name. I bought a boat off someone who named the boat their mother's name. The new boat that replaced the one I bought was christened with the same name. And we were at the same lake.
8th Oct 2010
Supernatural (2005)
Corrected entry: When the killer murders the dog she writes on the wall in the dog's blood "too late", but they said she was locked away her entire life so she wouldn't have known how to write or read. (00:16:35)
Correction: Why not? People have been known to learn to read and write on their own.
11th May 2010
Kick-Ass (2010)
Corrected entry: During the comic book scene at the beginning, when Marty mentions Paris Hilton, he is holding a comic book. In the next shot, the comic is on the table.
Correction: He doesn't open it to the same page he was reading when he holds it up.
16th Oct 2010
Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Corrected entry: Earlier in his career, Jude Law had a role in a TV episode of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Correction: How is this trivia? It's in his resume. A character having a minor part in a TV series almost 20 years before having a major role in a similarly titled/plotted movie is not really trivia, or very interesting.

Hocus Pocus (1993)
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, Binx the talking cat speaks with a British accent. The movie is set in Salem, Massachusetts. I know he is supposed to be from 1693, but I don't think many Americans were speaking with British accents. Even if he was originally from England, I'm sure after 300 years he would lose his accent. But seeing his father at the beginning of the movie spoke with an American accent, I doubt he's from England. So where did the accent come from?
Correction: Define American accent. There are many different accents in the States, not including regional dialects. In 1693 people were most definitely speaking with British, as well as Scottish, German, Italian, Irish and many other accents. As for losing an accent, that isn't always so. My father still speaks with a slight German accent at 83 years old, 78 years spent speaking English predominantly. Some people pick up accents from people they associate with. I spent some time in Russia, and came back with a bit of Russian accent just from speaking English with people whose native tongue was Russian.
11th May 2010
Kick-Ass (2010)
Corrected entry: When the five kids are sitting in the comic store and Katie says something about how she would "bang the **** out of Kick-Ass", we can see out the window that it is raining reasonably heavily outside. We then cut to Katie and Dave making out in the alley behind the store only about thirty seconds later, and it isn't raining.
Correction: It's not raining reasonably heavy, it's a light shower, plus it's quite sunny and light out, indicating the rain isn't widespread. Once in the alley, Dave and Katie have damp hair, hinting that a light drizzle is occurring, or has just finished drizzling.

Commando (1985)
Corrected entry: When Matrix leaves the plane to paddle ashore, he's heading directly to the shore. But when we see him actually padding to the shore itself from a side view of the raft, you can see the seaplane directly behind the raft. Considering the direction Matrix left from the plane, the plane should have been off to the left of the shot, off camera, Not in the background of the shot.
Correction: Currents can easily account for the difference in the shots. Either the plane is not as well anchored as it could be, or the raft is drifting with the current.
11th Jun 2010
Robin Hood (2010)
Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie, just before the fight in the beach, Robin is riding his horse on top of the cliff. In the next shot, just a few moments later, he is in the beach leading the attack. There is not enough time for him to go down the cliff.
Correction: The charge to the beach is not shown in real time.
11th Jan 2009
Ghost Town (2008)
Corrected entry: When Pinkus is at the Lab with Gwen examining Pepe she notices that the tag is still on his new shirt. That tag is not there in any of the previous scenes.
Correction: The tag, directly under the collar, could have been tucked into the collar, explaining why Dr Pincus didn't notice it, and during the course of leaning down to look at Pepe, and his remains in the canoptic jar, etc., the tag may have loosened enough to fall out from under the collar.

Correction: You've got about a half dozen mistakes in one submission. Just to answer a couple: No one in the audience of a movie would put up with horrible ice rink acoustics, so they're cleaned up for a movie. This is a movie, not an actual competition. It doesn't matter that Casey stares at her mom, because it's artistic license. She can stare as long as the character wants. Of course falling down would cause her to lose points, but again, this is not a documentary. Ice skating is very subjective, in some Olympic competitions couples have won, even though they fell while the silver medalists didn't. About the only valid submission is the part where she is still in the middle of the ice right after being shown next to the boards.
