Corrected entry: When the house first lands and slides to the canyon's edge, we are shown a sweeping vista of the entire ground all the way around to the falls. Clearly it's all flat rock the whole way, no trees or valleys, an easy walk. Yet somehow tall forests, hills and jungles come out of nowhere.

Over the Hedge (2006)
Corrected entry: When the bear reaches through the roof of the Verminator truck, he says "You're dead RK". The raccoon's name is RJ.
Correction: Not true - Nick Nolte's voice is gravelly so you misheard it. He uses the correct character name.

Toy Story 2 (1999)
Corrected entry: When Al tries to buy Woody, Andy's mom puts the doll in the lockbox with the yard sale cash. Al then pries open the box and takes Woody, leaving the cash. Andy's mom must be completely oblivious to the fact Woody was missing, since the next time she is seen is at the end noticing that Andy fixed Woody, as if he never left the shelf where she put him earlier. From Andy's perspective, his mother arranged Woody and the other toys on the bed, but from the mother's perspective, she put Woody on the shelf, he ends up in the yard sale, she puts him in the cash box, then finds the cash box empty, never puts Woody back in Andy's room, and yet is not shocked at all to see that Andy has Woody the morning after he gets back from camp. She never questions where Woody (or any of the other new toys, for that matter) actually came from. Given her immediate expression of curiosity about how Woody ended up in the yard sale, the lack of a reciprocal reaction to Woody's return at the end is an incongruity.
Correction: Mom just believes that Andy took Woody out of the cash box. She's running a yard sale and is being pulled in many directions. Believe me, it's not hard to forget a little detail like that. Not a stretch and certainly not as complicated as you try to make it.
Andy is at cowboy camp during the yard sale. Are you saying mom closed and locked the cash box and never looked at it again? Made a sale? Or checked it at the end of the day?
It's possible that Andy's mom simply forgot that she put Woody in there because it was a busy day. She might have opened the box multiple times during the day and it just never occurred to her that she had put Woody in there before. She may have remembered it once Andy came home and was playing with Woody, but what's the more logical thing to assume: that Andy found Woody somewhere in the garage and that she just had a brain fart about where she put him? Or that Woody is alive?

Cars (2006)
Corrected entry: When Lightening McQueen is chasing after Mack after being dumped out, he leaves the Interstate, hits some dirt and corrects the slide to get back on the road. According to his multiple attempts on the track at Willy's Butte, Lightening doesn't know how to do this, and it becomes the basis of him learning a "new" way to drive from Doc, and it even helps him in the final race. (00:22:40)
Correction: His corrective actions after becoming lost were a "happy accident" and not an intentional manoeuvre - as you point out, he has such trouble with it while racing Doc. If he had intentionally made that manoeuvre early in the film, he wouldn't have had such trouble with Doc, especially because he is so prideful.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
Corrected entry: Near the beginning, when Hiccup says the other teens names, right before he says Astrid's name the area behind her explodes, but neither her skirt nor her hair move at all, indicating no wind pushing out from the explosion that happened right behind her.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film, right after Hiccup and Toothless take down the giant dragon and everyone is gathering around Toothless, right after Toothless reveals that he saved Hiccup, a close-up shot of Astrid shows her bangs away from her eye, but in the next immediate shot, her bangs are suddenly in front of her eye.
Correction: Throughout the entire film, we see Astrid constantly moving her fringe away from her eyes and it immediately falls back down again (e.g., in the training arena the first time they enter it for training). This is a normal characteristic for Astrid.

Cars (2006)
Corrected entry: When McQueen stops before the finish line, the King is seen in the right corner of the scene, but Chick does not appear on the racetrack. Inmediately afterwards, Chick passes by the finish line.
Correction: Because McQueen and the King are STOPPED/stopping and Hicks is traveling at full racing speed. He would appear "immediately" in that circumstance.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
Corrected entry: When Hiccup is looking for the night fury, he says, "I manage to lose an entire dragon!" He hits a branch and it snaps back to hit him, after which you see the red mark, but seconds later it's completely gone.
Correction: It's a slight red slash to indicate the branch striking him but it would, of course, dissipate quickly. It's not a cut or a raised welt. This isn't a mistake.

Everybody Loves Raymond (1996)
Corrected entry: In the episode when Ray gets Debra To kill a Mockingbird, Frank says "I killed a bird once." But in the thanksgiving episode Frank gets mad when Amy's parents kill The Bird and says he would never kill an innocent creature.
Correction: There isn't enough context to judge Frank's comment that he "killed a bird once". Maybe it was a game bird (for eating) or maybe it wasn't an "innocent creature" (e.g., it was injured and Frank euthanized it, etc.). The two comments are separate and aren't conceptualized enough to make this a mistake.

Everybody Loves Raymond (1996)
Corrected entry: In season 2, episode 7, Ray has a fax machine installed with the computer. In this episode, the fax machine is gone.
Correction: So he removed the fax machine, which could be for any number of reasons, especially since the machine is gone in a subsequent (rather than prior) episode?

Up (2009)
Corrected entry: When Russel is hanging under the house and the airplanes a chasing him, a few tranquilizer darts hit the porch roof and stairs. The darts seem to disappear almost immediately in every following shot, but is most apparent after the house lands atop the zeppelin and a close-up shot confirms it.
Correction: Tranquilizer darts, by their very nature, are specifically calibrated to have a much less intense velocity than bullets so the fact that they do not imbed themselves within the wood on the house for more than a few seconds isn't a mistake.

Up (2009)
Corrected entry: When we first see Ellie in the old house, her eyes are blue. Not as dark blue as Carl's but still blue from all angles and light sources. Subsequently her eyes are deep green.
Correction: Eye colors can change between childhood and adulthood. My own eyes were blue as a child and now, 40 years later, are green.

Up (2009)
Corrected entry: When Carl and Russel are having dinner with Muntz on the blimp, it's dark outside and in fact Carl says it's been a wonderful evening. They escape from the blimp and it's dark out, not caused by trees blocking the sun because we've seen the house floating outside the blimp also in darkness. However during the escape a couple of minutes later it's midday with blue skies and sunshine. Muntz's dogs fall into the river. Then two minutes after that it's night time again and Muntz is using the blimp's searchlights to capture Kevin.
Correction: It's dark during dinner because they are in a cave! The lighting is appropriate throughout the several sequences - including that the sky is still lit with sunlight/twilight when Carl and Russell escape from the dogs and enter the thicket where Kevin lives and, then as full dark comes upon them, they tend to Kevin's injured leg and Muntz searches with a spotlight.

Gran Torino (2008)
Corrected entry: The final credits roll over a background of an empty road. All of a sudden a very relentless stream of traffic appears. This is doubtless because there was only so long that the film crew were allowed to hold up the "real" traffic after shooting their closing scene. (01:50:00)
Correction: How is this a mistake? If the filmmakers wanted an empty roadway, they would've done it somehow (continuous loop of the footage they had, C.G. effects, etc.). If you understood the movie, it would be clear that this is a metaphor for the Walt's character development during the course of the movie.

Doubt (2008)
Corrected entry: When Sister Aloysious returns from speaking with Mrs. Miller and Father Flynn enters her office behind her, the Sister moves to the window to close it against the rain and wind and she reaches to lower the shade as well. We hear the sound of the shade lowering, but the shade does not move at all.
Correction: The sound is of Sister Aloysious pulling the cord to change the direction of the slats, not to lower the shade.

Grumpy Old Men (1993)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Max Goldman is sprayed by John Gustafson with a water hose, Max's son, Jacob says something to the effect of: so what dad, Gustafson has started every fight since 1940? Max replies: no, since 1938! Later on in the movie, when John and Max are fighting on either side of their property fence (when John has the axe), it was revealed that they were fighting since 1937, not 1938.
Correction: Grumpy "OLD" Men - either Max forgot the exact year (in the first instance) or exaggerated (in the second instance), this isn't a mistake.

Shutter Island (2010)
Corrected entry: When Leo is talking about the massive killing at the concentration camp of the German soldiers, we see the camera run along as the US soldiers shoot them. At the end of the line, one of the German soldiers can be seen smiling for a brief moment after he falls down.
Correction: It's a grimace, not a smile.
16th May 2003
In Cold Blood (1967)
Corrected entry: The events depicted in the film took place in 1959; however, the exterior shot of the courthouse shows several automobiles made in the early to mid-1960's.
Correction: Actually, the trial took place into the spring of 1960, so without more definitive descriptions of the automobiles believed to be out of the time period, this entry is too vague.
There are at least three cars from the mid to late 60's in various scenes driving.

A Single Man (2009)
Corrected entry: When informed of his partner's death, George asks about the dogs. He is told that they found one, dead at the scene. "Was there another?" "Yes, there was also a small female." How did George know which was found dead?
Correction: You answered your own question. George is told, one dog is dead, he asks if there was another, and was told "Yes, there was also a small female."

A Christmas Story (1983)
Corrected entry: As Ralphie gets the first two letters in the code we are told the first word is "be." Since there is no distinction from when one word ends and the next word begins, it is too early at this point to determine the first word. (00:50:00)
Correction: Ralphie is excited and grasping to learn the code so since "B" and "E" make a word, that's his first assumption, which turns out to be right.
Correction: There are myriad canyons and valleys and the "vista" can certainly support the terrain the characters travel through.
