loved it!.......2007-04-20

I love this movie in so many ways. the cinimetography is inspired, the acting superb, and its a great conversational piece. you can tell what kind of a person someone is when you ask the key question, was he really an alien? why or why not. you'd be surprised how far that converstation can go and it will reveal just how creative or inside the box a person is. i also find it a great pick me up when i'm feeling a bit sad or anxious, spacey has a strangly calming effect in this character. my collection would be incomplete without it.

wow........2007-01-06

after all these years, i saw the film. it touched me. i bought a copy of the dvd. then after all these years, i took a class "introduction to film." as part of our final assignemnts, we had to choose a scene from a film, to review aloud in front of the class. i chose this film... k-pax. and i highlighted how the doctor is trying to have prot merely "consider" that he might actually be robert. but robert/prot counters by asking the doctor to consider that it might be true, that prot is his name and that he is from the planet k-pax.

"Doctor, Patient, Curious Human Distinction".......2006-11-19

I must say that `K-Pax' released in '01 was a delightfully unexpected surprise. I absolutely loved it! I found it to be an intriguing combination of the '75 hit `One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and the much earlier '51 sci-fi classic `The Day the Earth Stood Still.' Do you sci-fi fans out there remember the name of the large robot with the x-ray eyes in the '51 film? For those who don't it was Gort, a name strikingly similar to that of the supposed humanoid alien Prot played so brilliantly by Kevin Spacey.

With 190 reviews already on-line for `K-Pax' there's no need for me to rehash the storyline. I would however like to recommend this film to one and all. It's beautifully filmed and directed complimented by sharp, insightful dialogue containing numerous quotable lines. Kevin Spacey is perfect as Prot the self professed alien from the planet K-Pax and Jeff Bridges gives the performance of his life as Dr. Mark Powell, the psychiatrist who's worldview is called into question by his enigmatic patient from another universe.

A treasure to be owned, you'll watch it again and again.

K-PAX is a well-written, flawlessly directed and acted allegory about Identity. People who cannot see that, may not like it. Those who can, will appreciate its nuances and the sheer understated genius of the entire package.

Remake... no more.......2006-10-09

Film lovers know this movie is no more than the Hollywood version of the awarded Argentinan film "Hombre mirando al sudeste" (Man facing southeast) of 1986. The difference however, is that the latter is way more profound and philosophic. For those interested, I highly recommend the Argentinan film, although it is very difficut to get outside Latin America, especially with english subtitles.

A comment on K-Pax.......2006-10-09

Please note that this review is just on the movie, K Pax, in this set.

K-Pax was one of the better movies of the year when it came out in 2001, and I found I liked it better than I was expecting. Spacey is excellent as usual, and Jeff Bridges as his therapist has a very sympathetic role and also does a great job. Interestingly, this time Bridges plays the earthman instead of the alien visitor, as he did in his 80s movie, Starman, an underrated Bridges flick that deserves to be better known. Spacey almost had me convinced that he really was from another planet, expecially after the great scene where he amazes confounds the assembled astronomers with his knowledge of the distant solar system.

The movie is somewhat schizoid because of the contrast between the first and second halves of the movie, but I really didn't mind that too much. The first half of the movie has a much lighter tone and is the most fun, as we learn about Prot, Spacey's otherworldly (literally) character from the planet K-PAX, and the relationship between Bridges, the psychiatrist, and Spacey, is developed.

But the movie takes on a distinctly dark and sinister tone in the second half, as Dr. Powell becomes convinced that Spacey could turn violent and sets out to discover the true nature of Spacey's past, which leads him to an abandoned farm in New Mexico.

My only complaint is that they could have found a better ending. By the end of the movie, you've come to like and sympathize with the unworldly, eccentric but likable Prot character, but then he basically turns into a vegetable at the end of the film and the movie falls flat. But except for that, overall I enjoyed the movie. Big Bubba says go see it and don't Bogart the popcorn.
