(2004) Absorbing, if not quite top-drawer, thriller about a mother (Julianne Moore) grieving for the son killed in a plane crash who is told that the boy never existed in the first place. This prompts her to join forces with a retired hockey player (Dominic West), whose daughter allegedly perished with her son, and solve the mystery. Good performances, some genuine chills and tight -- if formulaic -- direction by Joseph Ruben in the Shyamalan mode. Some rough language and profanity, and a few intensely jolting moments.  (A-III -- adults)  (PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned) Showtime (cable)

9 a.m. Mass. From Notre Dame, Basilica of the Sacred Heart. CatholicTV (www.catholictv.org)

(2005) Superior biopic about country singer Johnny Cash (a mesmerizing Joaquin Phoenix, who does his own singing). It traces the singer’s childhood marred by the accidental death of his older brother, and his father’s subsequent coldness, through an unfulfilling first marriage, and his budding romance with singer June Carter (Reese Witherspoon, who matches her co-star in the singing and acting departments), drug dependency and ultimate survival. Director James Mangold deftly balances the personal drama with plenty of good music, making for first-rate entertainment, though the touching romance between the married Cash and Carter -- despite cautious treatment by scriptwriter Gill Dennis -- is naggingly problematic from a basic moral, as well as Catholic, perspective. Some rough and crude language, ethnic slurs, scenes of domestic violence, drug and alcohol use, an extramarital relationship.  (A-III – adults)  (PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned) AMC (cable)

(1952) Rugged outdoor adventure in Canada’s frozen backcountry where a Mountie (Wendell Corey) gets his man -- a French-Canadian hunter (Stewart Granger) accused of murder -- then needs his help to survive a series of disasters on the trail back. Directed by Andrew Marton, the plot is more than a little contrived, but the vigorous action is in keeping with the remote setting and the shifting relationship between captor and captive has a satisfying human dimension. Much menace and some brutal violence, notably an attack by starving wolves. (A-II -- adults and adolescents) TCM (cable)
