Suggested correction: Light saw Ryuk after he tried writing a name down in the piece of the notebook hidden in his watch. Since he touched that piece, it makes perfect sense he would see Ryuk as that piece was originally part of Ryuk's death note and wasn't swapped by L.

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane picture

Audio problem: [Blu-ray] When Mandy goes to wake up Red and Chloe, she says: "Hey! Hey, we need to get up, OK? Come on." The last two words were missed from the overdub, are not heard and are also missing from the subtitles. (01:08:15)

Children of Men picture

Revealing mistake: The infant baby was computer animated in every scene in which the face appeared. Even the feet were obviously touched up by computer in the hallway scene. The lighting isn't quite right, the skin texture isn't quite right, and the child's face is just too animated.

Tell No One picture

Other mistake: François Cluzet and Marie-Josée Croze are husband and wife who grew up together and have been in love with each other since they were kids. They are shown in flashback scenes when they are kids as obviously being the same age. Yet it is obvious to the viewer that Cluzet is at least a generation older than Croze (15 years to be exact when I checked on IMDB.com) in the time that the actual story takes place in the present.

Inland Empire picture

Continuity mistake: When Sue is talking to Mr. K, the phone rings four times before Mr. K answers it. But when Sue watches this scene on the cinema screen later, Mr. K answers the call after two rings.
