The Replacements (2000)

Corrected entry: If Keanu Reeves was the replacement starter, wouldn't he be kept on the team as the backup when the striking quarterback crossed the picket line?

Correction: He would be dropped because he is a non-union player. Players, no matter how good they are, do not look good in the eyes of the union when they play during a strike.

Never Been Kissed (1999)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Josie walks into her first class, her teacher places a big hat on her head for being late. Guy walks in afterwards, but why doesn't he get in trouble for being late? (00:16:35)

Correction: Guy is the most popular boy in school. This is to make it obvious that he never gets in trouble, because he is so well liked.

Corrected entry: At one point an American commentator refers to a player in an American TV game as a "footballer". An American commentator would not use this term, as it would be confusing to most Americans - American football is an entirely different game.

Correction: I've heard American commentators use the term "footballer" during international matches. Especially when they are teamed with European commentators.

Freddy Vs. Jason (2003)

Corrected entry: When Kia falls asleep at the school nurses office, Freddy rips off her nose. According to the rules, what Freddy does to you in the dream world will affect you in the real world. Yet when Kia wakes up, her nose is still connected to her face.

Correction: It stated that Freddy is not at full strength at this point in the movie. He can hurt people in their dreams, but it does not yet carry over into the "real" world.

Titanic (1997)

Corrected entry: In a scene where Rose is taking the paintings out of their crates, she pulls out one of Pablo Picasso's great works called "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". That's currently in a gallery, so can't have gone down with the ship. (00:27:45)

Correction: Many artists paint duplicates of their works. This could have easily been a copy of the famous painting.

The Core (2003)

Corrected entry: When the remaining crew go back up through the centre of the earth back to the crust and home again, how come they never run into any of the obstacles that they encountered on the way down, such as the massive diamonds?

Correction: They discuss that the fastest way to the surface is along a magma flow tube. If the tube runs from the core to the surface, they would just surf the magma through the tube.

Corrected entry: This refers to the freeway chase scene where one of the Twins "flies" into the car and starts fighting with Morpheus. During the fight Morpheus twists a seatbelt around the Twin's arm to immobilize it and put him at a disadvantage. Shortly after that the Twin uses a knife blade to cut the seatbelt in order to free his arm. But the Twins can both pass through solid objects like ghosts, so why wouldn't the Twin simply make his arm "dissipate" through the seatbelt instead of going through all the trouble of cutting it with the blade?

Correction: At no time during the film does either of the twins dissipate just part of his body. It appears that if he goes "ghost" it happens to his whole body. If he were to become incoherent simply to free his arm from the seatbelt, he would pass right through the car.
