K-pax

Have you seen this feel good movie?
K-PAX ...is a planet and Prod (the hero who gets no girl in the end) came to Earth from there . Without being critical and just let it wash over you and not call them out for this or that it was very entertaining fiction and I realy enjoyed it imensely ... at least I hope it wasnt a documentary. It isnt is it???

Yup alex , Great movie .
Kevin Spacey is brilliant as Prod .

"One of the first things one notices is how bright this world is - and how beautiful with its infinite colours and variety of life. Still nothing compares to when K-Mon and K-Ril are in conjunction"

"Earth is somewhat smaller then K-Pax, a class BA-111 planet -early stages of evolution , future uncertain. "

Definetly can recommend to all a totally enjoyable movie with a great twist at the end ................. but was he really a alien ?
I think the way he blew the scientists and astronomers socks right off proved he was .

Glad you enjoyed it alex.

My wife and i started watching this film late 2002 when (what no parent ever wants to go through) the Police knocked on our front door to give us the bad news of a serious car accident between our sons car and a tree. We never did finish that video so i can't comment on it Alex. Since the accident i have often thought of watching it again but Sandi (my Wife) says no..

I am so sorry Peter that my mention of the movie has raised such a link to the most terrible event in ones life imaginable. And thinking about it the movie revealled as the plot unfolded the most terrible terrible thing a parent could endure and I would encourage you to never decide to see it all the way thru. Please trust me in spite of my praise please never.

An excellent movie indeed, and another example of why Kevin Spacey is such a damn fine actor, he absolutely made the show what it was.

Interesting to note that they have written (at least) 3 K-Pax books, my girlfriend has just finished reading K-Pax III .. it leaves things on an even more interesting note re was this guy really a person with "issues" and imagination, or was he from another world. I really don't want to spoil anything by repeating what I now know, but I can't wait to read this one myself now.
