	Investor's Business Daily: Breaking News
		The chairman of the film division of U.K.'s Intermedia has been quoted saying he is searching for a screenwriter to do a movie treatment of Salam Pax's book, "The Clandestine Diary of an Ordinary Iraqi." Intermedia bought the screen rights, according to ScreenDaily.com, a film-industry Web site.
		Pax, who remains unidentified, and is apparently still in Iraq, began writing his blog at the start of the war last year, to keep in touch with a friend in Jordan.
		The Web log has been "on hiatus" for about a month, although Pax continues to write a biweekly column for the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper.

	CommandoFilms: Pax Importi Modelus
		As a film, Pax is very much an actor's piece, made by an actor's director (because Ming is of course a very prolific actor).
		Pax is an expression of control and pace of performance because this the theater we are in is already absurd.
		While Ming was shooting Pax, I was starting on Love Supreme and we came together on CAUSE before I moved on to The Last Rites of Romance.

	Hackers (1995)
		Elsewhere in the genre he has made the thoroughly banal likes of the alien visitor film K-PAX (2001) and the voodoo film The Skeleton Key (2005).
		The film feels very much like the scriptwriter has grafted what they imagine hacker culture to be like onto familiar teen stereotypes without even having met a single hacker in their life.
		The film opens with a great scene - of a courtroom where a hacker is tried and convicted of crashing 1100 computer systems before the camera pans around to show the hacker's face and we see it is a ten year-old kid.

		But Mr Pax countered that would be tantamount to supporting the continuation of a regime like Saddam's.

		"I know who you are," said Mr Galloway, warily eyeing Mr Pax, whose weblog gave the world an insight into the lives of ordinary Iraqis in the run-up to the US-led invasion.

		However, "Stolen Honor" did air on some PAX network affiliates on the weekend of October 30, 31 apparently sponsored by NewsMax Media (in which the notorious right-wing financier Richard Scaife has a 7% stake).
		Most recently, this company gained notoriety by ordering its 62 local stations to broadcast an anti-Kerry film, produced by Carlton Sherwood, a few days before the November 2, 2004 general election.
		Moreover EchoStar Communications which operates the DISH satellite network said "Stolen Honor" would be made available to its customers for a fee according to Susan Arnold, vice president of programming DISH Network [3].

	K-PAX (2001): Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges, Mary McCormack, Alfre Woodard - PopMatters Film Review
		While Prot's abstract waxing philosophic on "human nature" is given plenty of expression in the film, K- PAX's real social commentary (on things like the relationships among class, opportunity and psychological distress) is downplayed and even dismissed by Screaming Man's loony-bin antics.
		At best, this is a facile use of mental illness as social criticism, and it's totally undone by the repeated use of Screaming Man's screaming at everyone that they stink.
		Presumably "we" can all agree we are pretty bad as human beings, but we don't need to consider too closely the specifics of how bad we can be and often are to each other.

	Casino Royale - Through the Looking Glass
		Instead, the film was stocked with in-stars, in-jokes, and an in-style that would surpass not only the grandeur of the original series and its penchant for outrageous cold-warrior escapades, but in turn, influence the megalomania of the "real" Bond series.
		Although the film seems to yearn for the prototype's set pieces and its literate pop-apocalypse, it overkills with garish tones for fear that the concept might be lost on a market too young to remember or too attention deficient to understand.
		Although this denigration of modernity in favor of divinity and mythos also suggests a false totality, the illusion of wholeness found in fascist ideology, the not-so-tongue-in-cheek Romanticism here pays homage to a much earlier and more benevolent imperialistic nature, Sir James’s Pax Britannia and a laissez faire elitism.

	On the Line movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		She says the studio didn't advertise the movie enough and erred in opening it on just 900 screens (films in wider release such as ''Monsters, Inc.'' and ''K-PAX'' typically open at more than twice that number of screens).
		But ''On the Line'' producer Wendy Thorlakson, one of Bass' partners in his film production company, A Happy Place, suggests that some of the blame lies with Miramax.
		Just like Lance Bass and Joey Fatone in ''On the Line,'' the executives behind the 'N Sync dudes' film debut are on a missing-persons hunt.

	Group Challenges Sinclair Licenses; A Nonprofit Petitions the FCC, Saying the Broadcast Firm Violates Media-Control Limits
		Meanwhile, over the weekend, "Stolen Honor" found an even wider broadcast outlet than Sinclair would have provided, when the conservative, Florida-based news website NewsMax.com spent $294,500 to buy infomercial time for the film on the Pax broadcast network, which reaches nearly 90% of U.S. homes with televisions.
		Pax spokeswoman Nancy Udell said the film wasn't part of Pax programming, and added that the network sells political advertising to all buyers.
		The challenge to license renewals for six Sinclair stations and two owned by a closely affiliated firm, Cunningham Broadcasting, came after the firm was embroiled in national controversy over plans to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal," a film that is highly critical of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts.

	Review: Beyond the Sea
		The knee-jerk reaction would be to angrily write off the film as one of Spacey's vanity projects (shades of the reprehensible "K-Pax"), which "Sea" unquestionably is. In interviews, Spacey has explained his reasoning, stating that the film is not intended as a strictly biographical account of Darin's life, but more of a contact high experience.
		For Darin fanatics, "Beyond the Sea" would be a tough film to recommend due to Spacey's interference with the legend's magic.
		This is colorful film, and for a tribute to Darin's energy, it really succeeds.

	Iain Softley, K-PAX Interview by Paul Fischer, Published By Mike Freni
		British director Iain Softley is nothing if not diverse, from the likes of Backbeat to his acclaimed Wings of the Dover, Softley believes in not making the same film twice as evidenced by his new film K-PAX, the story of a mysterious man (Kevin Spacey) who claims to be from outer space.
		Changing the novel's time frame slightly so that it better captured the concept of a world poised for 20th century change, Softley managed to make a film that was at once faithful to the original work (which many considered to be unadaptable for the screen) while at the same time thoroughly contemporary.
		Following the success of the film, Softley went in a completely different direction with Hackers, his 1995 thriller about a group of cyber pirates.

		He is currently working on the Universal picture "K-Pax" for director lain Softley, which will be released next year.
