I was pretty "whited out" myself while watching, so I have no clue as to what happened. I don remember Kate taking off most of her close. All I know is that Kate Beckinsale's booty makes me want to bite it like a puppy with a chew toy.

Stolen Lives (2009)
Detective story of sorts, with a nice parallel between a modern day detective who loses his son (abducted), and ends up solving the mystery of a disappearance of another child some 50 years before. The filming has some decent transitions between 'then' and 'now', as we watch both fathers lose and search for their sons. I thought I'd have an issue with child abduction - something of a sensitive topic for me, but the film handled it well and the focus was kept on the unfolding story and the emotional turmoil each of our lead men go through. Personally, the ending was probably adequate, but (IMO) it was a little weak. The feelings and strength throughout the journey are somewhat cheapened by a quick wrap up at the end![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
But maybe that's my personal take, since I feel cheated by endings lately it seems.

HP Loveraft Collection, Vol 1 - Cool Air (1999) ...though there are several versions of this story, usually referring to Twilight Zone and similar shows.
Even for 1999, this reeks of low budget. I'll admit I've never been a HP Lovecraft lover, more indifferent with a passing curiosity to see how his stuff goes, since I've never really read or watched any. But this....this was like someone's college film class project I'll give partial credit for the story, and the 're-animation' theory pulled thru some of the other episodes on that 'collection dvd', and a nod to the respect most people seem to carry for Lovecraft. But really, at the end of the day, I can't recommend any of this stuff - even if you do love Lovecraft I've got the volumes 2, 3, and 4 of this collection as well.... but, I'm not sure I'll be able to bring myself to watch them (though I'm sure I will, I just can't not watch something).

^^^What a shitty movie. I saw the original about 10 years ago on HBO and thought it was good. This was nothing more than a basic shit-for-shot remake.

This is a good movie. A clever twist on the alien abduction theme, being that the alien is the one abducted. If you haven't seen this, you should really check it out.
