Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry At the end of the movie when the "specialist" is giving his account on to what happened, they are on TV - but his hand comes through the TV when he is gesturing. [I watched the scene several times now and still can't see where the "specialist's" hands would come through the TV. All gesturing is staying inside the TV display boundaries.]
Entry When Mark Wahlberg goes to look in the abandoned truck for a map, the door chime is sounding but the driver's door is closed, only the passenger door is open. [When my van's front passenger door is left open the door chimes as well.]
Entry Mrs. Jones dies from the toxin even though she has stayed apart from the three people who are staying at her home and is some distance from them when she begins to show symptoms. The other three find themselves separated, two in the spring house, the other in the house. Although none is in anything like a sealed environment when Mrs. Jones dies - indeed, she smashes in several windows, which would have exposed Mark Wahlberg - none of the others is affected. Wahlberg observed the toxin affecting Mrs. Jones firsthand, and the speaking tube connecting the house with the spring house would have carried the toxin just as well as it did his voice. [The toxin is emenated from the plants in waves, and after a dose has been released, it takes a little while to replenish. When Mrs. Jones was poisoned, she was standing outside, alone, surrounded by plants. It took a little while before she started to smash in the windows, and by this time the remining toxin in the air had dissolved or blown away. It is around the same time the plants start to break of their attack, and stops releasing toxin altogether, so the characters are safe in their shelters (even if they don't know it).]
Entry When the train stops and they are in some diner, the woman is showing video on her iPod. In the first scene she wears a red shirt, but after watching video on iPod, she is wearing a blue shirt. [The woman is wearing a blue shirt on top of a red shirt, and both are visible during the scenes.]
