Filmed Not Stirred 14 - Babel & Little Miss Sunshine

Jeff and Lisa break format this week to get caught up on their Oscar films, reviewing two movies that have very little in common other than the fact that they're both nominated for Best Picture. Seems like there is always one movie during awards season that is way over-hyped so tune in to find out which one of these films Jeff and Lisa think is overrated (here's a hint: it's Babel).

  • id like to hear one of your or a few of your episodes deal with your reviews of hollywoods lack of creativeness and just rewriting of storys and old movies.

    for example there are 3 posiden movies
    6 movies that have to do something with titanic
    20 movies that have something to do with king arthur.
    30 movies that have somehting to do with vietnam
    120 movies about ww2,
    and so on and so forth, if tho for example you do a review on ...well. the new zodiac killer, that you also review all the other movies and tv movies that were also made about the topic.

    Little Miss Sunshine (2006) - 10 mistakes
    Visible crew/equipment: When the family is trying to load the body of Grandpa into the VW, the shadow of the camera can be seen multiple times at the bottom of the frame. It shows up most obviously on uncle Frank\'s shirt.

    Continuity: In the mad rush to get to the hotel, the family gets off on the exit and is trying to decide what to do. During this time, the camera angle changes several times. During this change, the traffic behind them disappears, and reappears between shots. Most noticeable is a semi that vanishes and reappears.

    Deliberate \"mistake\": At the very end when they are all running to get the car started, the boy is the last to hop in. In the first scene, he is well along side the car, but in the very next shot he is farther again. In the last shot, he is closer to the door and finally gets in.

    Continuity: In the scene where the boy speaks for the first time in 9 months and he has left the family car to cry about 30 metres from them, the shadows formed by the boy and his sister (when she joins him to offer comfort) point in a direction completely opposite to the rest of the family back at the van when there is a close up on them. So as they move from one group to the other, it\'s obvious one group was filmed at different times of day.

    Factual error: The family passes an exit for Carefree Highway. This is an exit off I-17 a few miles North of Phoenix. At that point they would be about 10 miles from Scottsdale. Yet they drive all day and that night they are still within scooter range from Scottsdale

    Continuity: Right at the beginning of the film, Dwayne is bench pressing. In one shot, taken from above, his hands are close to each other and in another, from behind him, he holds the bar wider.

    Other: When they arrive at the motel, the mother says that the grandpa is in room 13, but when he opens his door it is room 208.


    Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Olive is beginning to do her dance at the Little Miss Sunshine contest, when the camera starts moving when she walks forward in the shot at her front, look at the curtain behind Olive\'s left shoulder. A camera shadow can be seen moving with Olive.


    Continuity: During the dinner scene at the beginning of the movie, there is a round polystyrene pot on the table that moves between shots. In the long or close up shots, it is right in front of the Popsicle box, whereas in the side shots, it is in the centre of table, quite a distance from the box. Submitted by mandy gasson


    Continuity: During the scene where the whole family is seated around the dinner table (before the road trip), the popsicle box in front of Steve Carell keeps changing angles.

    the problem with war movies is that more often then not the main character seem impervious to bullets and yet they are all shoot like snipers.

    and they never take showers yet they never get dirty running around in the desert

    wasnt steve carrel in bruce almighty?
