No, not an easy-listening radio station, and not a merger of Kotex and Tampax, but an undiscovered planet in the constellation Lyra -- or so says Kevin Spacey, who is either a bona fide spaceman (the early evidence, apart from the actor's surname, is all on that side) or else a mere lunatic (some late evidence for that, without negating the early evidence). Either way, he is given carte blanche for his smirky superiority. Jeff Bridges, as a doctor at the mixed-nuts facility of the Psychiatric Institute of Manhattan, keeps peeling the glasses off his face in exasperation. The syrupy photography by John Mathieson is meant, presumably, to convey the special relationship of the alien/inmate to the realm of light, especially as a mode of interstellar travel. It's sticky all the same. With Mary McCormack and Alfre Woodard; directed by Iain Softley. (2001) — Duncan Shepherd
