Couch + TVersity = Lazy Sunday

Not Forgotten - a twisty psychological thriller about a child kidnapping was ok, certainly better than it's made-for-TV productions values would suggest. There's some kind of vodou-esque cult shenanigans which was somewhat interesting but I can't say I'd go out my way to watch it as the script is patchy and some of the acting a bit ropey - The Mentalist aka Simon Baker was not terrible though he should be worried about the caliber of work coming his way.

A Midnight Clear was much better - a WW2 drama about a gaggle of soldiers sent to man an outpost near some equally disaffected German troops. Beautifully shot and with some strong performances from the roundly excellent cast. It's not a particularly original film but it's "war is stupid" message is hammered home effectively.

And finally The Terminal Man a nice little scifi from the 70's thats quite prescient. Based on a Michael Crichton novel it's about a computer genius who gets experimental brain surgery for his blackouts which seem to cause uncontrollable acts of violence. George Segal is surprisingly good as the guy who gets his noggin opened - even in that funny wig.
