Corrected entry: When we watch the black and white footage of things that took place at The Centre in the past the camera angles change, cameras move and change focus as well. This implies that someone is there operating the cameras. It's highly unlikely that someone else would be allowed to be there when people are having psychiatric examinations, being murdered, making secret plans and so on. Unless the cameras had motion sensors which is unlikely for the time they were supposed to be happening.

Alien Vs. Predator (2004)
Corrected entry: It has been shown in Alien 3 that the aliens won't hurt someone who has an alien inside of them. This doesn't seem to be the case in this movie. After the Predator is impregnated by the face hugger lots of aliens attack him, including the Queen. The Queen even impales him with her tail, which it seems should have killed the alien inside of him although she somehow managed to miss it.
Correction: It's shown in Alien 3 that they won't hurt someone who has a alien Queen inside them - remember, it's established in that film that Ripley's hosting a queen. Queens being obviously rather important, you can see why they'd want to preserve the host. The same consideration obviously doesn't apply to someone hosting one of the standard type of alien - after all, they can always make more of those. Queens are clearly a special case.

Memento (2000)
Corrected entry: When Leonard is at Natalie's house she shows him a picture of her and Jimmy Grants. In the picture, Jimmy has a mustache. Later, when he gets out of bed and looks at the picture Jimmy doesn't have a mustache in the picture. When he writes "She has also lost someone. She will help you out of pity" on the polaroid of her, he lifts the polaroid up and you can see the picture of her and Jimmy, now with a mustache again. (00:35:40 - 00:38:20)
Correction: They are two different pictures. While in both, Natile is hugging Jimmy quite close, the backgrounds are different, the positions of her arms are different, she isn't smiling and, one is in a photo frame, the other isn't. It isn't inconcievable that someone would have more than one picture of their boy/girl friend in their house.

The Time Machine (2002)
Corrected entry: Why doesn't Alexander use the time machine to go back in time and prevent Mara from being captured? The head Morlock says the reason that Alexander cannot change the past, prevent his girlfriend from dying specifically, is because that is what prompted him to create the time machine, thus creating a paradox. OK. The only thing Alexander shouldn't be able to change is the death, or anything related to it, of his girlfriend. Anything after that should be fair game.
Correction: He would have no chances against the morlocks, and even if he saves her once, they still would have to fear the Morlocks. In fact he already had the idea to destroy the Morlocks with a time wave, by manipulating his time machine with the clock as he was in the future and sees that the Morlocks had spread all over and destroyed the environment. This was the best chance for the Eloi.

Correction: I've noticed in a few episodes when Jarod is viewing the DSA's on his thing that there's a little ball-type thing that he uses to zoom in and out. One episode example (I think it's in the first season) is when he uses it to zoom in on Mr. Raines to read his lips (the line is "Listen to me Doctor. Tell the kid that daddy died in a plain crash. It's not exactly a lie") And besides, it's the Centre. There may be people watching them at all times.
