...Forgotten has the makings of an intelligent paranoid thriller, but I found nothing spectacular or terrifying in it, only government agents scrambling to hide a conspiracy and scrambled plot lines trying to hide a lack of creativity, despite the guarantee a seemingly competent cast should offer. Julianne Moore’s Telly Paretta is a likeable everywoman. Her therapist (Gary Sinise), is appropriately authoritar ian, while her husband (ER’s Anthony Edwards) appears to be phoning in his support from another planet. They are too hampered by the product they’ve been asked to deliver...
...intimate film about the lives of a small cast of characters, this simple masterpiece by director Mike Leigh manages to be at once philosophically expansive and physically claustrophobic.

The footage, which came to light after the White House sought to cast doubt on the story last week, indicated that some of the sealed weaponry was still present a month after the war began. The 101st did not resecure the bunkers when they left al-Qaqaa, nor did they destroy the ordnance, in part because their orders were to get to Baghdad...
