Taken: Steven Spielberg is perhaps best known for his movies and TV shows in which he presents us with ordinary folks dealing with some extraordinary circumstances. The same could be said of his latest endeavor, Taken, which will appear not in theaters, but on the SciFi Channel, on December 2nd at 9:00 PM EST. Mr. Spielberg said that Taken couldn't be told in a 2 hour movie, which is why he's opted to tell the tales in six parts. Taken deals with the lore behind alien abduction stories. This looks like a really serious piece of work. The Official Movie Site is a great stop too, so check it out.

more than 50 years ago. A cover-up of the true
nature of this event was immediately instituted by
elements of the United States military. Their
hastily constructed levee of disinformation still
