Entrapment (1999)

Corrected entry: When Gin is at the office at 10:30 and then she goes to London and it is dawn in London. So it is around 6:30AM and Mac is going into work but watch the time. If she goes to the airport and then goes to London she should be there at least 8:30.

Correction: London is 5 hours ahead of New York, and the flight takes 7 to 7 1/2 hours. This means that the earliest she could've gotten there is 10:30 am. If you include getting to the airport, buying a ticket, boarding, and the average flight time; it becomes more like 11:30 or 12. The sun is not even close to being in a dawn position. All of the shadows are short when facing south and slightly elongated to the west which fits an 11 am to noon time frame. The camera flares also show this. Correcting this made me appreciate just how well that shot was done.

Corrected entry: When Brian is topping out his car in the beginning scene in the stadium lot, He shifts 8 times. No Eclipse is an "8 speed" that suddenly ends up in reverse, making 9 gears. You can see the first 5 to 6 shifts, you can hear the blow off valve for the 7th, and then the final 8th shift. (00:03:20)

Correction: There is a pause in the first shot but sounds more like a pedal release (for what reason is still up for grabs). 3 shifts are seen in hand shots...and 2 via the clutch. There is a phantom-like pause, hiss, and rpm drop suggesting a shift change but that is questionable and still makes only 6. After that is a downshift for the spinout.

Deja Vu (2006)

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, one guy in Doug's office gives him Claire's message, written on the outside (colored side) of a candy wrapper. When Doug goes back in time, the guy gets Claire's call again and he grabs the candy wrapper, beginning to write on the opposite side of the wrapper.

Correction: The wrapper (which was a gum wrapper btw) had no handwriting on the colored side. It did however have black printing that was blurred by the film quality. When Greg is dialing the number he is clearly looking at the white side.
