The Forgotten (2004)
7/10
I enjoyed it. That matters, right?

Out of all the movies from Revolution, The Forgotten was the most ingenious. (???) Julianne Moore is Telly Paretta, a devoted mom whose son, Sam has died in a plane crash. She can't seem to move on, even after her son is mysteriously removed from their pictures; even when their home videos turn blank; not even when her husband and psychiatrist (Gary Sinise) say she never had a child. It seems as if she's the only one who knows of her dead son's existence. She gathers the help of Ash (Dominic West), an acquaintance and fellow parent who doesn't remember his child, Laura either. But one bout of wallpaper destruction later, he remembers her. And then the plot goes into the toilet.

There's NSA agents after them. Eventually, Telly's husband can't directly remember HER. And it keeps hinting (And revealing later on) that aliens are responsible for this madness. Why!?

Yes, The Forgotten is bad, but it's entertaining too. The parts where people were flung literally to the sky made me laugh hysterically while my mom yelled at me to be quiet. And Moore is such an excellent actress. She always looks tired.

I wish i could find this on Blu-Ray, but apparently they didn't make one.
