Trivia: Thora Birch was meant to reprise her role as Dani, and wanted to, but was unfortunately unable to appear due to being tied up on another project.

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
5th Oct 2022
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Trivia: The movie is based on a story producer David Kirschner made up to entertain his daughter about how a neighbor's cat was actually a boy who had been changed into a cat by witches. His wife thought the idea was fun, and told him he should develop it as a script. Kirschner agreed, and fleshed it out into a proper script with horror writer Mick Garris. It was originally called "Disney's Halloween House," but was later renamed to the snappier title "Hocus Pocus."

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
Trivia: Originally, Adam Shankman was attached to direct, but ended up getting attached to another Disney sequel, "Disenchanted," so he gave up the director's chair. Anne Fletcher was then selected to replace him. Ironically, Fletcher had previously been attached to direct "Disenchanted" about ten years prior, but left after production stalled. Both movies are finally coming out in 2022 as Disney+ originals.

Hocus Pocus (1993)
Trivia: The film is produced by David Kirschner, who also came up with the original story idea. Despite "Hocus Pocus" being a family-favorite, it's not Kirschner's first foray into something creepy and supernatural... he's also the main producer on all the "Chucky" movies (and the TV show), and even designed the Chucky and Tiffany dolls. It's pretty ironic... he's responsible for both delighting and terrifying 80's and 90's kids all over the world.

Logan (2017)
Trivia: Hugh Jackman originally intended for "Logan" to be his final turn as the character of Wolverine. However, five years later in 2022, he confirmed his involvement in the third "Deadpool" film, having agreed to come out of retirement and play the character one final time for his friend, "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds, who desperately wanted to make a Deadpool vs. Wolverine film for years. Jackman has stated that he loves the "Deadpool" movies, which is also part of the reason he decided to return.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Trivia: Bryce Dallas Howard has stated that the studio pressured her into losing weight for the first two films in the trilogy. When this third film came about, she fought back, and director Colin Trevorrow supported her. Since both Howard and Trevorrow have more clout now due to their success in Hollywood, the studio finally relented and Howard was able to make the movie with her natural body. She said this helped with her stunt work and performance, since she wasn't weak from forced weight loss.

This Is the End (2013)
Trivia: There was a persistent rumor that Emma Watson stormed off set after seeing one of the scenes they were shooting. (The scene with cannibalism and the Channing Tatum-gimp.) Seth Rogen later clarified that Watson simply wasn't comfortable shooting the scene since it was very weird, improv-heavy and different from the script, so she politely asked not to shoot it. She came back to set the very next day to say good-bye to everyone, had a good time making the movie otherwise, and even promoted it.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Xander chugs the martini Miss French gave him, the way he's holding the martini glass changes instantly between cuts. First he's holding it by the top, then he's holding it by the stem, then he's holding it by the top again.

Hellraiser (2022)
27th Sep 2022
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Buffy and Angel get to Buffy's house at the beginning, Buffy starts to use a first-aid kit to patch up Angel's wound. Angel's arm goes from down by his side to up on Buffy's shoulder between cuts. (It can be hard to see since it's close to the bottom of the frame, but it's noticeable. It seems like they cut out a few seconds to quicken the pace.) She's also a little bit closer to Angel between the same cut.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When the Scoobys are in the cafeteria in the beginning, Xander asks what the "green stuff" is in a wideshot, and it cuts to a closeup of Buffy. In both shots, you can see two extras in the background doing the exact same thing twice - walking from screen-left to screen-right, while one of them distinctly lifts their tray up for a moment. The extras were probably just told to repeat the same actions in different takes to populate the background, leading to this odd mistake.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: After Xander chugs his martini, he transfers the glass to his left hand. But then, it's back in his right hand instantly between cuts.
27th Sep 2022
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Stupidity: Xander really has no reason not to believe Buffy when she tells him that Miss French is evil/a giant bug. There is an in-universe explanation of pheromones affecting him, but that's flimsy at best. He's already dealt with vampires and witches and body-swapping, and there has already been a murder around the time Miss French showed up... the fact he doesn't believe Buffy seems very forced and contrived.
27th Sep 2022
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Miss French scoots closer to Xander and asks if he's ever been with a woman before, Xander hands go from being apart touching between cuts.

Blade: Trinity (2004)
Other mistake: In the opening fight, right before the title card, Blade fights five vampires. He kicks one, who falls onto the ground and starts to crawl away. He then kills the other four vampires with his weapon (sort-of a blade that's on a line he can whip around). After those four vampires "dust," you see the fifth vampire (the one Blade had kicked earlier) on the ground... and he spontaneously "dusts" for no reason whatsoever. Blade did nothing to him... he just dies for no reason.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: He gets hit by the silver knife on a string (whatever it is called) like the others in 1 swing (there are 5 in total BTW). A small touch seems to be enough to dust them.
You are correct there are five (typo), but the last vampire does not get hit by the knife in any way that I can see. Watch this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LkxaihdyRE Blade swings the knife-line above his head (you can see the line in the entire shot), and there's never any point that I can identify where it hits the vampire on the ground. Blade swings it in an upward motion, and you can see the line goes slack after it hits the last vampire on the left side of screen, implying that it stopped and fell to the ground in that direction.
The blade goes around his head at least twice before it hits the last 2 vampires. I admit that it's unlikely but you can't really see where the blade goes unless you go into slowmotion (if that even shows anything as it's all CGI). It could have hit him at any point.
It does go around his head twice and is quite fast, but it is definitely visible throughout the shot (slow mo is not required), and at no point does it go low enough to hit the vampire on the ground. It would need to completely defy all laws of physics to do that.

Hellraiser (2022)
Trivia: The first "Hellraiser" to have the direct credited involvement from franchise creator Clive Barker since "Hellraiser: Bloodline" in 1996. (Barker reportedly gave some minor notes on the sixth film, "Hellseeker," during editing, but was uncredited and uninvolved otherwise.) Director David Bruckner said Barker was heavily involved and provided feedback, suggestions, artwork and references throughout production, and would help the team bounce ideas around for the story and characters.
24th Sep 2022
Hellraiser (2022)
Trivia: The first film in the franchise to feature a female "Pinhead," as portrayed by actress Jamie Clayton, a trans-woman. Despite some minor backlash online, original Pinhead actor Doug Bradley has spoken out in support of Clayton, noting that the franchise has always been transgressive and unique, and that he loved her performance on the show "Sense8." It should also be noted that the Cenobites in the original book were mostly androgenous, though "Pinhead" was said to have a feminine voice.
22nd Sep 2022
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: After Giles closes the library for "filing, " we see Buffy grab a crossbow off a shelf. It is upside down when she grabs it. Instantly between cuts, it is right side up. You can tell from the grip thingy that sticks out from it. (It looks like she starts to rotate it in the first shot, but it's instantaneously flipped over in the next).
21st Sep 2022
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Audio problem: At the beginning of the episode at the Bronze, when Buffy gets up to go and Willow tries to get Buffy to stay, Xander suggests they can dance. But his mouth movements don't match the words when he says "Eh, yeah, it's early..." (His head is turned away from camera, but you can see the side of his mouth, and he's saying something else).
