Uncovered
June 28, 2010
Uncovered—that would be the name of the movie and the state of Kate Beckinsale’s boobs in a completely gratuitous scene that was shot only for that purpose. But otherwise this 1994 movie and an art restorer (Kate) and a mystery about who is related to whom, who kills whom, gypsies, penniless people with royal blood, a completely separate 500 year murder mystery, people who seem to lose a lot of blood and chess is pretty good. A Netflixer, of course, but no doubt once in theaters, this film was shot in Spain, Barce(th)lona to be exact, and it’s so much fun to see. Lots of beautiful sets, interesting people, solid supporting actors who are familiar faces and such. There are few places outside the US that I want to go, but Barce(th)lona is definitely one. This movie is like looking at a pretty picture. Not that much happens, but still you want to look at it, linger a while, look into the background, see what the photographer saw (besides our Kate’s nekkid chest). No real violence, only the one instance of gratuitous nekkidness, no potty talk. Really a nice little movie.
