Sheri Hartman

Corrected entry: When Riley uncovers the frozen seaman in his hammock, he gets scared/excited, starts flailing his arms and knocks both hammocks on either side of him as he falls backward. That would have left both hammocks moving/swinging a little. But in the very next frame where Riley is still making noises and turns over on all fours, we see the hammock on the left side of the screen as still as the dead.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: There are 2 levels of hammocks, one over the other, Riley actually moves an upper one to see the frozen seaman, and when Riley is scared he only hits the top hammock on his right on his way down. When you do not see it swinging it is a closeup and you only see the lower hammock that he did not hit.

Just Like Heaven (2005)

Corrected entry: When we first see the sublet notice, it is tacked to the notice board. When it hits David twice and then when he reads it, there is no tack hole or rip at the top of paper. However, there is a little white line where you would expect the rip to be. (00:09:10 - 00:10:05)

Sheri Hartman

Correction: If the paper tore neatly enough that's all there would be - a small line where the pin tore through the paper and the two sides are now realigned.

Grey's Anatomy (2005)

Deny, Deny, Deny - S2-E4

Corrected entry: In the scene where Preston finally finds Christina alone, he walks into her room that has a door with a rectangular window in it and a white box with stickers above a glove box on the wall next to the door. When Preston starts to tell her what else she could have said by saying, "Plenty. For starters," Christina interrupts him by saying, "Oh, look. It's my mother." We see her mother come into room and shut a solid wood door. There is a picture/print on the wall next to the door. They are all in a different room! When Christina and her mother really start to squabble, Christina says, "Oh, me? I'm unpleasant?" Preston starts backing away to leave and all of the sudden they are now back in the original room, with rectangular window in the door (that is open) and the white box with stickers above the glove box on the wall next to the door.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: It is not a different room. Dr. Preston Burke came through the main door which leads into the hospital hallways, and from Christina's point of view, would be to her left. But the door her Mother comes through, while it is different, it is not meant to be the same door. As we clearly see, her Mother walks in from Christina's right. Therefore her Mother was not entering through the same door as Burke did. Perhaps it was a toilet?

Hamster

Corrected entry: After Ben takes the Declaration of Independence in its case into the elevator, we see him start to remove screws again. When we see the back, there are two screws out in the two compartments next to the one Ben is taking a third screw out. There's no way he had time to take out 2 plus screws from the time he started while in the elevator and the time we see the back with the screws out.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: Ben was planning to take out all the screws in the preservation room so he could roll up the declaration and leave. He had unscrewed two when Riley lost his feeding, so he ran to the elevator, and continued unscrewing inside.

Corrected entry: When Queen Clarisse is talking to Charlotte in the church before going after Princess Mia, there is a guard in the background. He is standing right in front of the door frame and his sword is partially blocking the doorway. But the next shot of Queen Clarisse going out of that doorway, the guard is barely visible off to the side of the door.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: He moves. He saw the princess running and he most likey knew the queen wass going to go after her so her moved. Plain and Simple.

Corrected entry: Before the Independence Day parade, we see a blue Mustang convertible that Lilly is riding in during the parade. The mustang has an old black and gold California license plate on the front of the car. The other vehicles (cars bringing Princess Mia to the palace from the airport) seen so far have had a white plate of some kind on the front.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: Seeing as the Mustang is from somwhere in America it is highly likely that genovia has a different licence plate.

Corrected entry: Princess Mia was supposed to have danced with all the eligible bachelors of Genovia at her 21st birthday ball. But all of these eligible bachelors where not in the slide show for her to consider as an arranged marriage partner.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: We only saw a little bit of the slide show, so it is possible that they were shown, but the audience didn't see it. Besides, one eligble bachelor was shown, Prince Jacques, the 12-year-old Mia was dancing with after she danced with Nicholas.

Twister (1996)

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie when they go down in to the cellar, Jo's mother lights a kerosene lantern with no prep work done to the lantern. This would be impossible because the mantles can only be used one time and then they have to be replaced. When you put a new mantle on, it has to be "ashed" or burnt before the lantern can actually be used. Then the lantern she was using had to have the kerosene pumped up or 'vaporized' in the chimney part of the lantern. Only then could Jo's mother put a match to the mantle to light the lantern.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: Or maybe it's an oil lamp, which you just light with a match whenever you want.

The Da Vinci Code (2006)

Corrected entry: After Robert knocks Vernet to the ground behind the armored car, he yells to Sophie to get in the truck. She jumps out of the back, runs around to the passenger door and gets in while Vernet is shooting at her. That door would still have been locked. When Vernet got out of his side, he couldn't have accidently hit the auto unlock because armored cars only have auto locks, no unlock. A passenger on the inside getting out or some one with a key would have had to unlock that door.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: No, I used to drive an armoured car. The driver has access to a locking system, and the unit can be unlocked from inside the vehicle from a separate compartment. In my situation, the driver could unlock the rear and side doors with the push of a button, and the courier in the back could access a button to unlock the driver compartment. This was a safety issue, as if there was an accident, the driver and/or courier would need to be able to unlock the other compartment for emergency services in case the other occupant was unconscious.

Corrected entry: When Ben is crossing the street to enter National Archives building for the Gala, the street is wet but the pavement, steps, etc. around the building are completely dry.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: There is no indication that it has been raining except that the streets are wet. Washington DC's Department of Public Works has street cleaners that operate on heavily traveled areas routinely or as requested by the public. It would not be unusual for the National Archives people to request a street cleaning before this big gala. The street cleaners operate by spraying a thin film of water on the street before sweeping the dirt, etc. into a hopper on the machine. It makes perfect sense as to why the streets could be wet. Also, they only suspend operations during the winter and this take place outside of that time.

Zwn Annwn

Corrected entry: The case that holds the Declaration of Independence changes throughout the movie. This might be explained away except for the fact that the last change, to the black case, would have meant that Ian would have taken it out of the gray/white case that he picked up in the street after Abigail falls and loses it and puts it in a nice, new black case that he just happens to have. The case was originally red with the gray/white case as an inner case or liner for the red case. Ian's character hasn't cared if the Declaration gets shredded to confetti, so why would he care that it gets a nice, new black case instead of the gray/white one he picked up in the street?

Sheri Hartman

Correction: Because it's his bargaining tool. Without it in pristine shape, he can't get Ben to cooperate. There's plenty of time between him picking up the white case and meeting up with Ben for him to pick up a new case for it, or he had it from when he'd planned to steal the document.

National Treasure (2004)

Corrected entry: When we first see the campaign buttons in Dr. Chase's office, to the left (as we are looking at it) is a brown, cylindrical, leather bag, located close to the front and left side of the furniture it is sitting on. When Dr. Chase receives the other button from Ben, she looks up at her collection of buttons and the brown bag is now all the way at the back of the furniture and quite a ways away from the case that the campaign buttons are in.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: Since it is two seperate days, it is possible it was moved in the mean time.

James Storck

Corrected entry: During the chase scene when Abigail has been kidnapped by Ian and crew, both vehicles go over huge bumps, holes, etc. In Ian's vehicle, we see all the stuff go flying all over the back of the vehicle even hitting the people that are in the back of the catering van. But in Ben and Riley's vehicle, everything swings gently around and when Abigail is in the vehicle with Ben and Riley, we can see ropes, cables, boxes, etc. all neatly stacked, very high up the sides of their van with nothing out of place.

Sheri Hartman

Correction: Ben and Riley's vehicle is a normal panal van, usually used for holding tools, etc. Ian's vehicle is a catering van, which normally sits still. Pots and pans in the catering van weren't tied down, therefore they flew around. The van would also have better shocks than the catering van, therefore it wouldn't bounce as much. It is also lighter and not as long as the catering van, so it would handle better (and bounce less). I've been a passenger in an RV before, and the bumps are always bigger at the back of a large vehicle.
