Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie McFee shoots a hole in the silo door which is quite oddly shaped. When the camera is on Schaeffer, calling McFee, you hear another shot. Then you see the silo door again with corn pouring out through a nicely cut, straight hole where the gunshot was, plus two more "dents" where this powerful weapon now couldn't even make holes. (01:36:00)

Coraline (2009)
Corrected entry: When Coraline first enters the other world and enters the kitchen, notice on the table in the kitchen is a vase of yellow flowers, in the middle. When the mom says "Bu-bu-bu- buttons?" the vase is on the far left side of the table.
Correction: When Coraline enters the kitchen, the vase of Narcissi is in fact in the middle of the table and you see the back of a chair behind it. When the Other Mother says "Bu - bu-bu-buttons" (00:17:10), she is in closeup and the flowers can be seen at her left elbow, in the middle of the table and in front of the chair, where they were a second before.

Coraline (2009)
Corrected entry: When Coraline first arrives in the other world, she walks past a table with three chairs. Notice the one at the far right: it is straight. When she opens the door and says, "Mom?" the chair is now crooked.
Correction: When Coraline walks past the table we can see only two chairs, one in the middle and one on the right (00:16:48), as the opening door blocks the view. Then she opens another door leading to the kitchen, and while she talks to the Other Mother (00:16:55) we in fact see the third chair behind her, but you cannot tell it is crooked or not, as we couldn't see the third chair previously.

The Unborn (2009)
Corrected entry: Casey's grandmother shows her a picture of her twin brother (Casey's great uncle) but it is a Polaroid picture, and they weren't invented until after WWII. Casey's great uncle had died during the war, in Auschwitz.
Correction: We can see the photo in closeup twice - for the first time on the table (35:08), then in Casey's hand (35:16). On both occasions it is obvious that the photo is an old black-and-white photograph. There are other pictures on the table, one (Casey's pregnant mother in front of a mirror) is quite dark, and it may seem an upturned Polaroid, but it is not.

Witness (1985)
Corrected entry: Rachel points out to John Book that Amish don't wear shirts with buttons because they aren't "simple." However, when Daniel sits on the porch with Rachel and drinks lemonade, he is wearing a farmer's shirt with buttons.
Correction: Rachel says nothing about the shirt - she points out that the jacket has no buttons. In fact, men's shirts fasten with traditional buttons in most Amish orders, while suit coats and vests fasten with hooks and eyes.

Addams Family Values (1993)
Corrected entry: In the close-up shot where Wednesday twists off the doll's head, that is Morticia's hands doing the twisting.
Correction: It is Wednesday twisting off the head of the doll. She wears red nail polish like her mother, but her fingernails are short.

Correction: When McFee shoots at the silo door for the first time, he makes two holes - one in the middle and one smaller in the low right corner of the door (there is quite much smoke and dust in the scene but you can still see it). Then he hits the upper hole with the butt of the gun and succeeds in cracking a piece of wood, this is how the rectangular opening is made. Then a third shot offscreen produces the third hole, and there you are with the straight hole and two more ones not sufficiently wide to let the corn pour out.
