Corrected entry: Harry and Ron are in the corridor reading the wad of paper they found on Hermione, but instead of reading a huge advantage point, 'The crow of the rooster can kill the basilisk' they only focus on the part about spiders running away from it, which they already knew, and enter the chamber rooster-less.

Downton Abbey (2010)
Episode #4.7 - S4-E7
Corrected entry: Near the end, Mr. Green makes a surprise visit to the servants' hall. Mr. Mosley and James both greet him as Gillingham (his employer's name) not Green. (00:42:00)
Correction: It was not uncommon for servants to be called "Mr. (employer's name)" This is seen in other episodes too, particularly when the family goes on vacation to other large homes and takes the servants with them.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Thanksgiving Decoupling - S7-E9
Corrected entry: Penny states that she did not know that a Vegas wedding is an actual wedding, however in season 5 episode 24, The Countdown Reflection, she states that she knew tons of people who got married in Vegas. (00:02:55 - 00:03:40)
Correction: Just because she knows people who got married in Vegas doesn't mean she didn't know the weddings were real.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Corrected entry: I've noticed in a couple of scenes where Chevy Chase and Beverly D'angelo are standing in the front hallway of their house, you can see the wooden rafters of the ceiling of the set in the dining room. (00:19:15)
Correction: I had an almost identical house in the 80's and the living room had oak beams and a full wall brick fireplace.
Correction: This is part of the ceiling, not part of the set. Some people choose to have exposed beams in their homes.
Yes but not in that type of house that they are supposed to be in there are no exposed beams in that particular style house back then.

Friends (1994)
The One Where the Monkey Gets Away - S1-E19
Corrected entry: Monica tells the guys that she and Phoebe will search the third and fourth floors for the monkey and the guys would search the first and second floors. But Monica and Phoebe knock on Mr. Heckles' door, #9, which would be on one of the lower floors.
5th May 2014
The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Corrected entry: When Penny tells Sheldon that he forgot a plasma grenade, she presses the right trigger on the Xbox controller. On Halo 3, the right trigger fires weapons, not grenades. That's the left trigger.
Correction: In Halo 3 you can change around some features of the remote, including which trigger fires grenades and weapons.
25th Nov 2013
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
Corrected entry: The number of arrows that Katniss has in her quiver goes up and down through the games. For example, In the second cornucopia scene when the career tributes from Districts 1 and 2 attack Katniss, Peeta, Wiress, Johanna, Finnick and Beetee, one shot shows three arrows left, but there were plenty used during the rest of the film.
Correction: The group goes back to the cornucopia after the island spins. It is perfectly feasible that Katniss picked up more arrows before heading to the beach.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Friendship Algorithm - S2-E13
Corrected entry: When Sheldon was stuck in an infinite loop in his "friendship flowchart", Howard created an escape which he labeled "LDA"; however, Sheldon referred to it as "Least Objectionable Activity", which would be "LOA."
Correction: It is easy for a D to look like an O.
10th Feb 2014
The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Corrected entry: At the end of this episode when Penny asks to use Leonard and Sheldon's bathroom for a shower, when she goes down the hallway towards the bathroom/bedrooms, she turns past the bathroom (the door that is visible from the living room) and turns right and goes towards the bedrooms.
Correction: Penny could simply be going to grab a towel from the linen closet before having her shower.
4th Dec 2013
Bruce Almighty (2003)
Corrected entry: When Bruce is checking the prayers on the computer, one of them reads "bra for my sports car."
Correction: A bra for a vehicle is the cover that protects the front of the car. This is a picture of a car bra: http://supercamerabagswall.blogspot.ca/2012/11/car-bra.html.
24th Jul 2010
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)
Corrected entry: After the family moves, Charlie, Lorraine, Jake, Mark, Kim, Jessica and Mike are all shown going to school. But for some reason, Henry and Sarah are not.
Correction: They do not go to school with the others because Charlie and Lorraine are in high school and Jake, Mark, Kim, Jessica and Mike are in elementary. It is quite feasible that Henry and Sarah are in middle school and we just don't see them at school.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011)
Corrected entry: When Edward and Bella kiss at their wedding, the camera pans around. As it pans, the seats are empty and no one is there. When they stop kissing, everyone is back.
Correction: This is done on purpose to show that Edward and Bella are so focused on each other that they are nearly oblivious to everyone around them.
26th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Corrected entry: In the midst of the battle, Ron and Hermione are confronted by Nagini. In the first shot, they are on opposite sides of the snake, however, after some cuts of Harry and Voldemort dueling, they are on the same side of the snake running down the staircase together.
Correction: Since we are shown cuts of Harry dueling Voldemort, it is completely feasible that they were able to get past the snake in those few seconds.
18th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Corrected entry: Why is there snow in Hogsmeade when the trio gets there and meets Aberforth? Hogsmeade and Hogwarts are within walking distance of each other, yet there is no snow at Hogwarts.
Correction: According to interviews with Rowling, Hogsmeade is above the snow line, so there would always be snow there, no matter the weather at Hogwarts.
27th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Corrected entry: Harry finds out that the first task is to battle against a dragon, each champion having its own dragon to fight. Since Harry's name was mysteriously added to the Goblet of Fire at Hogwarts after the tournament was announced, only 3 dragons should have been transported not 4.
Correction: There is ample time between the announcement of the champions and the task. All the organizers had to do is find another dragon.

She's the Man (2006)
Corrected entry: When Viola (pretending to be Sebastian) is picking up a slip of paper to determine her lab partner, she also picks one up for the boy next to her, not noticing that Duke has already passed him one. The boy then tries to cover the mistake by sliding forward slightly, to pick up the second slip of paper and shifting the first out of sight.
Correction: Not a mistake. This could happen to anyone.
26th May 2011
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
Corrected entry: This is something that happens from Twilight to Eclipse. In Twilight, Jacob Black tells Bella the story of his tribe being descended from wolves and from there she learns of the Cullens. At the end of the movie, Bella knows that the Cullens are vampires and at the school dance Edward leaves Bella alone. Jacob Black comes to talk to Bella because his father is going to pay him to tell her to break up with her boyfriend. Edward returns and says "I leave you alone for two minutes and the wolves descend" So why is it that in Eclipse Bella is unaware that Jacob's tribe are wolves?
Correction: Both Jacob and Bella believe the story to be a legend and nothing more. Edward knows that Jacob's tribe actually is descended from wolves, hence his statement.
17th Apr 2011
Tangled (2010)
Corrected entry: When Flynn goes to make peace with the Stabbington Brothers by relinquishing the tiara and Rapunzel waits, Pascal is sitting on her shoulder and remains there when they are approached by the vicious thieves. However, he disappears when Rapunzel runs from them. (01:40:05)
Correction: He could have easily gone into a pocket or into her hair.
10th Mar 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)
Corrected entry: Throughout the film, the length of Hermione's hair changes drastically. There are times when she has short crunched hair (above shoulder length), other times when she has a very long pony tail (five or six inches below the shoulder, and there are scenes when Hermione's hair is down and in between these two lengths (an inch or two below the shoulder).
Correction: Sometimes her hair is straight and sometimes it is curly. This can make a huge difference in the length of a person's hair.
29th Jan 2011
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Corrected entry: In the classroom scene where Professor McGonagall is discussing Chamber Of Secrets, a caged baboon is seen masturbating. (00:48:10)
Correction: Coincidence as the directors cannot control animals like that. This is not trivia.
