Religulous (2008)

Movie: Religulous (2008)"Bill Maher interviews some of religion's oddest adherents. Muslims, Jews and Christians of many kinds pass before his jaundiced eye. Maher goes to a Creationist Museum in Kentucky, which shows that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time 5000 years ago. He talks to truckers at a Truckers' Chapel. (Sign outside: "Jesus love you.") He goes to a theme park called Holy Land in Florida. He speaks to a rabbi in league with Holocaust deniers. He talks to a Muslim musician who preaches hatred of Jews. Maher finds the unlikeliest of believers and, in a certain Vatican priest, he even finds an unlikely skeptic. Written by J. Spurlin"

Raleigh and Charlotte are further from each other than LA and San Diego. Charlotte is an extremely conservative town compared with Raleigh.

The cab is also missing the NYC medallion, the medallion number on the roof, and the sub-letter on its license plate, all characteristics of New York City taxis.

Tagline: This time, the rules are the same. Except one.Trivia: Robert Knepper was inspired by Ernest Hemingway to create his character's look, and even created a whole back-story for himself. Thus he imagined Johnson to have grown up in a typical small American town, to have graduated from a prestigious university such as Yale or Harvard, to be highly cultured and sophisticated and to truly believe that he was doing the right thing for his country and the world. In addition Olivier Megaton asked Knepper to draw inspiration from Kiefer Sutherland's performance in Phone Booth (2002).Goofs: Continuity: After Frank pushes the Mercedes off the mountain, he winds down his window to watch the car burn. He shouldn't have had a driver side window to wind down as he had broken it in the earlier scene at the factory when he flew into the car from the driver's side and kicked the thug out.

Movie: Body of Lies (2008)"Roger Ferris is a CIA operative in the Middle East; Ed Hoffman is his control at Langley. Cynicism is everywhere. In Amman, Roger works with Hani Salaam, Jordan's head of security, whose only dictum is "Don't lie to me." The Americans are in pursuit of a cleric who leads a group placing bombs all over Europe. When Hani rebukes Ed's demand that Jordan allow the Americans to use one of Jordan's double agents, Roger and Ed hatch a plan to bring the cleric to them.

Country: USA
Genre: Action , Drama , Thriller
MPAA: Rated R for strong violence including some torture, and for language throughout.

Tagline: Trust no one. Deceive everyone.Trivia: A key scene's spectacular explosion is not a digital effect; it was a real, though controlled and safe, pyrotechnic blast - much to the delight (or, in some cases, surprise) of neighborhood onlookers.Goofs: Errors in geography: The starting sequence is clearly not Manchester. Apart from the fact it is not raining, the houses have flat roofing, whereas in Manchester the roofing of terrace house of that period, almost without fail, is pitched slate tile. The pavement is also clearly side walk and the streets generally unconvincing. The pull back aerial reveals numerous failings such as residential massing, spacing and lack of mid Victorian architectural design and urban form.

Electrodynamics at rea of theorology of the for can ever..."Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The mayor explains to his son that the family has been in Whoville for centuries. A few scenes later we learn that the city is planning their centennial.

Sex and the City (2008)

Movie: Sex and the City (2008)"After moving in together in an impossibly beautiful New York apartment, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big make a rather arbitrary decision to get married. The wedding itself proves to be anything but a hasty affair--the guest list quickly blooms from 75 to 200 guests, and Carrie's simple, label-less wedding gown gives way to an enormous creation that makes her look like a gigantic cream puff. An upcoming photo spread in Vogue puts the event--which will take place at the New York Public Library--squarely in the public eye. Meanwhile, Carrie's girlfriends--Samantha, the sexpot; Charlotte, the sweet na?f; and Miranda, the rigid perfectionist--could not be happier. At least, they couldn't be happier for Carrie. Charlotte still has the unrealized hope of getting pregnant. Samantha is finding a loving, committed relationship more grueling than she could have imagined. Miranda unwittingly lets her own unhappiness--created when Steve admits to cheating on her
just once--spoil Carrie's. After a heated encounter with Steve, she happens to spot Mr. Big and tells him he's crazy to get married. She's really only thinking of her own marriage. But her angry remark gets Mr. Big to thinking. Written by J. Spurlin"

Tagline: Desperation knows no borders.Trivia: Charlie McDermott and James Reilly, who play brothers, are, in actual life, cousins.Goofs: Errors in geography: Based on the car license plates on the Canadian side, and the Quebecois dialogue of the Canadian characters, the implied smuggling route runs directly across the St Lawrence River (or another major nearby river) from Quebec into N.Y. State. However, at no point does any major river (including the St Lawrence) form the boundary between Quebec and upstate N.Y. The St Lawrence does however form the boundary between upstate N.Y. and the (largely English-speaking) province of Ontario, and there is a major Mohawk Indian reservation situated on the N.Y. side of that section of the Canada-U.S. boundary.
