Perfect tenant
Day: Monday February 25 2008
Time: 10:57 AM est
Channel: Lifetime Movie Network
LMN Sun 2/24 11:30 PM

Record number: 2874

Title: The Perfect Tenant (2000)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Stacy Hogue

Description: Direct-to-video thriller starring Maxwell Caulfield as a psycho who gets revenge on Linda Purl and her family. Hogue plays Purl's teenage daughter, who is suspicious of him. When he catches on, he kidnaps her, handgagging her as he takes her out of the house. When Purl gets a call from Caulfield, she hears Hogue mmmphing over the phone. When she goes to the house Caulfield has her daughter in, she is taken to the kitchen, where Hogue is standing on a table, her hands tied behind her back, her feet tied, and gagged with a huge strip of duct tape. She also has a noose around her neck attached to the ceiling. In the climax of the scene, Caulfield tries to slide the table from under Hogue's feet, and Purl is at the other end of the table. There is a happy ending for Hogue. The whole scene lasts over five minutes, with many nice shots of Hogue, particularly during the climax of the scene. She does plenty of mmmphing, not so much struggling. Great scene, unless you prefer intricate rope work; then skip it. Great video box art too, which has a picture of Hogue's gagged face.

Ms. Hogue's feet are clad in only white socks and bound together. This scene should please those who like socks because there are plenty of close-ups as she is attempting to balance herself on the table.

The scenes occur in the last half hour.

The Brothers Grimm (2005)
Day: Monday February 25 2008
Time: 1:30 PM EST
Channel: USA Network
Title: The Brothers Grimm (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Lena Headey aka Lena Heady

Description: Lena Headey, the female lead in the Gilliam film is captured several times. The first is with a chain around the ankle in a barrel.

The second has her manacled, wrists behind and is seated on a chair. At first glance, it looks like she is manacled to the chair, but that isn't the case.

There is a third scene (very short) where she is trying to escape, and runs out her wrists are manacled in front, but instead of a chain, a spreader bar (about 2 feet long) is used.

The final one has her being led by a rope around her neck. Her wrists are manacled in front as in the above scene.

Her torso is wrapped with what looks like half a mile of rope. She sports a nice white cleave gag. Lots of emotion coming from her as she tries to escape, but she doesn't have much luck.

Wearing a old red dress like they apparantly wore back then.

In the Deleted scenes on the DVD, there is a scene, called "The Fat Soldier", with Lena tied to a fence, or railing, in a barn & cleave gagged. It's actually a much better scene than the "main" one. Several nice close-ups. She convinces a...well, fat soldier to remove her gag & finally untie her. Afterward, she gets the drop on him
