Gilligan's Island
Day: Sunday February 02 2014
Time: 10:00 AM Eastern
Channel: TV Land
Record number: 1381

Title: Gilligan's Island
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Dawn Wells

Description: Episode: "Castaway Pictures Presents" (2.7)

Gilligan fishes up a crate containing, among other things, a movie camera. In an attempt to get rescued, the castaways decide to make a movie depicting their plight, throw the tape in the ocean and hope someone finds it. In one scene, Mary Ann, in her trademark gingham dress, is captured by a cannibal (played by Gilligan). Mr. Howell, as the director, yells "Don't just stand there boy!!! Tie her to the stake!!" Mary Ann backs up to the pole, places her hands behind her back (bless her) while the cannibal ties her with a vine. Mary Ann pleads "Please kind sir, you have such a kind face, how can I talk you out of doing this horrible deed? Please do not harm me cannibal!!"

Hidden Away
Day: Sunday February 02 2014
Time: 5:00 PM Eastern
Channel: Lifetime
Record number: 16860

Title: Hidden Away (2013)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Elisabeth Röhm aka Elisabeth Rohm; Allie Gonino

Description: Typical made-for-tv movie, with a wife being pursued by the abusive husband that she has left behind. In this case, Elisabeth is working for the runaway wife, and becomes the target after finding out the wife’s backstory, and being given some evidence which the husband wants.

At 1:20 into the movie (including commercials), the husband ambushes real estate agent Elisabeth at an open house, and takes her out to an abandoned mine in a national park in the hatch of his car. The scene ends as he opens the hatch to look at her in the car. She is wearing a gray skirt suit and boots, and is gagged with duct tape. Her wrists are tied in front of her (loosely). We do not see her again until 1:34, when the husband returns to the mine, and we see that he has left her sitting inside, still tied and gagged the same way. The scene goes to black as he moves in on her menacingly.

At 1:41, Allie, who has just discovered her father-the killer, is alive, realizes that he is also a crazy psychopath who has attacked her mom’s fiancée and is planning on killing him. Allie and the fiancée are both taken to the mine, and tied in the same manner as Elisabeth had been – wrists front, ankles tied, duct tape gagged. Allie’s gag is peeled off for a brief conversation, but is replaced when she starts screaming at the nutcase.

The runaway wife shows up with a ransom to save Allie, but also has a can of pepper spray which is used on the psycho’s face. While he is screaming in pain, the wife frees Allie and they run off – finding the still gagged corpse of Elisabeth while running through the cave.

Good points: Lots of close-ups on the two actresses, and some of the shots show the tape nicely pressed over lips – especially Allie’s.

Not-so-good points: Wrists so loosely tied in front of them that even if they weren’t trying to escape, the ropes would have fallen off if they breathed too hard.

A Mother's Rage
Day: Sunday February 02 2014
Time: Noon Eastern
Channel: Lifetime
Record number: 16693

Title: A Mother's Rage (2013)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Lori Loughlin

Description: Lori, having been driven insane by the murder of her daughter, breaks out of an insane asylum and begins exacting revenge on men she thinks might have been responsible.

She first finds a lowlife by putting herself in a position to get carjacked, and at 20 minutes into the film, that's what happens. The thug that grabs her car puts her in the passenger seat and ropes her wrists in front of her, then to the car door. After she almost escapes during a stop at a gas station, he re-ties her with her hands behind her back, and puts her in the back seat. Lori again manages to wiggle loose, and this time she uses the ropes to strangle the carjacker from the back seat.

At 1:20 into the movie (including commercials), Lori picks up an innocent looking hitchhiker and accuses him of killing her daughter. Before she can shoot him, she gets distracted and he knocks her cold with a punch in the mouth.

She comes to in a deserted room, sitting on the floor against an easy chair, wrists held out to her side with medical restraints, and her ankles zip tied together. It seems that, completely by accident, she actually had picked up her daughter's killer. He's delighted that he's getting the opportunity to finish off a mother-daughter combo, and taunts her while preparing to kill her.

At one point, he gags her with a blue towel cleave tied in her mouth, and fantasizes about how they're going to make a movie about him to celebrate how he managed to kill both the mother and daughter. She stays gagged for a minute or two before he takes it off of her.

Finally getting tired of the conversation, he uses the medical cuffs to fasten her wrists behind her back and moves her to a chair. He then lays out the surgical tools that he uses to torture his victims, strips her sweater off of her shoulders and stabs her in the shoulders with a scalpel.

A policewoman hears her cries and comes into the room. She frees Lori from the chair, and Lori promptly stabs the killer.
