See More of Your World - See K-PAX
on Pay-Per-View
Is the man
who calls himself Prot (Kevin
Spacey) a delusional psychotic or really a visitor from another
planet? In K-PAX,
which premieres
today on Universal Pay-Per-View, Chief of Clinical Psychiatry,
Dr. Mark Powell, (Jeff
Bridges) sets out to uncover Prot's secrets. How can Prot answer
questions that stump astrophysicists or be entirely unresponsive to
powerful antipsychotic drugs? Can he really transport himself back
to his home planet, which he calls K-PAX, on a beam of light? There
are answers, and more questions, in this film by director Ian
Softley. Change
the way you look at the world with K-PAX.
IMDb Movie
of the Day Maybe because of their prominent role in 20th
century psychology, mothers have been among the most maligned
figures on celluloid; consider the freaky maternal creatures of Wild
at Heart and Throw
Momma from the Train, for example, or Hitchcock's famously
psychotic matriarch. Still, not all films give moms a raw deal;
Spanish director Pedro
Almodóvar, for one, managed to look deep within himself and come
up with a glowing, affectionate homage to women of the motherly
persuasion. Balancing his typically outrageous scenarios with
thoughtful character studies, All
About My Mother revolves around a nurse (Cecilia
Roth) who has just lost her only son. On her quest to inform the
boy's father, she meets up with a troubled nun (Penélope
Cruz), a pair of bickering stage actresses, and a gregarious
transsexual who just wants to put everyone at ease. The comic and
tragic story elements come together like facets of a personality,
creating a world whose currency is equal parts vulnerability and
resilience. ( more) (see
