When you see that an Academy Award nominated actress is starring in a Lifetime movie, you could think 'Hmm, how the mighty have fallen," or "That's gonna be a good movie!"
I went with the latter thought in approaching "Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story" (Lifetime, 9 tonight) starring Taraji P. Henson (who was nominated for her role in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button").
Oh well. I wouldn't say Henson has fallen, but this wasn't a good movie, and worse, Henson's performance won't attract any award attention.
Based on a true story, the movie introduces us to Tiffany Rubin, a happily married mother of a young son Kobe (Drew Davis). Her son's father (Sean Baek), we learn, is shady, but Tiffany believes he's more stable now and trying to be a good dad. So despite her mother's warning (mom is played by Beverly Todd), Tiffany allows dad to take her son for a week's vacation to Florida. Instead dad flees to his native country, Korea, kidnapping their son.


SPOILER ALERT
Juliet, Claire and David (Dylan Minnette) are walking into he concert in WITPDCAR. Juliet has to go back to the hospital, I presume. Charlie is passed out in the green room until the lovely Charlotte wakes him. "I got shot by a fat man." Daniel Farraday/Widmore (Jeremy Davies) is in the green room, too. He and Charlotte meet.
I have bogarted other people's DVR's to watch Lost. I have stayed up until 3-4 a.m. after late Duke basketball games to watch Lost.
There is a candidate. And as much as I want to scream and rail, now knowing who it is, I cannot. We knew it all along.
I am undone.

Still choosing sides in this Jin & Sun special.
(Note: I counted wrong. I didn't count the premiere, parts 1 and 2, as separate episodes. So this lovely little Lost morsel goes down as episode 6.8, a.k.a. "Recon.")
