NSMovie has always been quirky. It's easy to do what you describe using
QTKit (the interface control would now, mutatis mutandis, be a QTMovieView):

 SetMovieVisualBrightness ([[movieView movie] quickTimeMovie], 1.0, 0);

There just happens to be a nice QTKit article featured on the front page of
developer.apple.com right now:

<http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/qtkit.html>

The "Hello World" example project (a sort of QuickTime Player on diorets*)
is here:

* Diorets: the opposite of steroids.
