...realize how much we love each other. It just so happens that this time it is because there are no families on K-PAX, so we on Earth need to appreciate ours an extra lot. The theme becomes annoyingly obvious, and actors must resort to their ample stores of charm to make the tying together of loose ends seem plausible. Despite some poignant moments and a unique treatment of light which adds some nice mood to the film, K-PAX ends before it ever has a chance to get up to speed...

All the charm of their earlier releases has been smothered in the beefier production, which edges quite close to (God forbid) generic alterna-rock.

They hope that these renovations will encourage people who haven’t been...
...North Shore is very good at being very entertaining, for better or worse. Their last show, Letters From Nam had so much charm, charisma and upbeat 70s music that it was actually nauseating. However, what doesn’t work in one show saves another. Zorba has cool lights, a big, funny Greek guy and folk dancing...
