Murder in my Mind
Day: Wednesday May 28 2008
Time: 6am est
Channel: Liftetime Movie Network
LMN Wed 5/28 6:00 AM

Record number: 6001

Title: Murder In My Mind (1997)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Nicolette Sheridan aka Nicollette Sheridan

Description: Nicolette plays an FBI agent who gets brain cells from a murder victim transplanted into her. In one scene around the 78' mark (with commercials), she has a vision of being in the back of a van with the murder. While she's lying on her back struggling, the villain covers her mouth with duct-tape which she peels off almost immediately. Since it's a psychic vision, the scene is out-of-focus and jumpy.

At 0:44:05(0:52:20) Zoe Ravena (Sampson), another cute brunette, wearing underwear & a pink robe, is grabbed from behind by a man in black, arm around her waist, hand over her mouth, lots of moaning as she is fighting to get away, kicking with her bare legs.

Three Days Of The Condor
Day: Wednesday May 28 2008
Time: 1:30am est
Channel: Turner Classic Movies (TCM)
.
Record number: 286

Title: Three Days Of The Condor (1975)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Faye Dunaway

Description: Tied up for a while and briefly gagged, in the middle half of the movie, with several pairs of stockings.

Versions of the film usually aired on British TV are the same, but the first cut I ever saw (also on TV) had a scene in which Redford started by saying, "I need your car." He proceeded to tie her up against her protestations, and just before he gagged her, she said, "This is not fair!" There were several almost-closeups of her face being gagged and struggling as Redford left.

The order of scenes is also changed in subsequent versions; the original sequence made the narrative much clearer.

Disturbia
Day: Wednesday May 28 2008
Time: 10 a.m., 9 p.m. CST
Channel: Cinemax
Full treatment scene at the end
Record number: 12662

Title: Disturbia (2007)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Carrie Ann Moss

Description: At the 95-minute mark, the hero's mother (Moss) is shown tied with rope, arms over her head. She is gagged with duct tape and is wearing a blue shirt. The hero cuts her down (after one excellent shot of her tied hands), but she falls into the arms of the killer, who has been waiting in the shadows. The climactic three-way struggle ensues, during which mom (with her hands still tied in front) gets hold of an ice pick and disables the killer just long enough for her son to finish the job. The scene lasts just over a minute. Unfortunately, it's shot in a dark basement, so you might need to crank up the brightness.

Criminal Minds
Day: Wednesday May 28 2008
Time: 9pm est
Channel: CBS
.
Record number: 12787

Title: Criminal Minds
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Laura Allen

Her character is kidnapped in a highway in Idaho by two brothers, she is taken to the middle of the forest and we see her in the back of a van bound and gagged. She is gagged with tape and bound with black rope at her ankles and wrists wich are tied up in front of her, once they arrive one of the villians cuts her bonds and she removes her gag, then they tell her to run because she is about to be hunted. Her bondage seems very tight but unfortunately it is only seen shortly on screen.

Occurs around the 22 minute mark.

Striking Distance (1993)
Day: Wednesday May 28 2008
Time: 1:30 AM & 3:30 PM EST
Channel: AMC
Title: Striking Distance (1993)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Sarah Jessica Parker, Sigrid Adrienne, Unknown

Description: Right at the beginning, an unknown actress is lying on the floor. She's tightly cleave-gagged, her feet tied and wrists tied behind her back. It's a short scene, but there's at least some struggling and moaning.

At about the 35 - 40 minute mark we see the feet, ankles and calves of Sigrid with the ankles tied separately to the front legs of a chair. Then we see Bruce Willis reacting to what he hears over the phone: gagged wimpering, a gunshot, followed by silence.

Later in the movie, Sarah Jessica Parker is seated in a chair with her wrists cuffed behind her back.
The Pacifier (2005)
Day: Wednesday May 28 2008
Time: 2:00 PM EST
Channel: USA Network
Title: The Pacifier (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Faith Ford, Brittany Snow, Morgan York

Description: Julie Plummer(Faith Ford) has her hands tied behind her back with black rope. She is taken from the room where her kids are to an underground vault. She isn't gaggged and her legs aren't tied but there are a few decent midrange shots of her bound hands. She wears a tailored jacket with slacks.

Zoe (Brittany Snow) and Lulu (Morgan York) are bound back to back and over the mouth gagged with black cloths. Their hands are tied behind them and their ankles are tied with black rope. Guy alert.

Zoe wears a miniskirt and flat pumps. It’s a fairly quick scene but there are a few really good shots of her emoting with her gagged face and her tied ankles are seen a few times. There is one close up of her tied hands as she frees them.

The scenes occur from approximately 1:15 to 1:22.

The tone is lighthearted but thrilling. A++ IMHO
