Ben Kingsley Is the Man of the Hour
Jun 11 2008 - 7:30am
Ben Kingsley has always been a man of many faces (and accents), but lately it seems like he's popping up in every movie (and every time with a different accent). I knew he was in War, Inc. with John Cusack, and in one of my Tribeca favorites, The Wackness. And then when I checked out the trailer for Elegy (which is mesmerizing only because Penelope Cruz is so smoking hot no matter what she does), there he was again!
In addition to these recent theatrical releases, Kingsley has four films in various stages of production and four more titles in pre-production.

I just saw this movie last night and I must say ... what a waste of 2 hrs of my life! I thought it was so inappropriately cast and there wasn't ANY chemistry between the two! Ben Kingsley's character was so forced and everyone was so insincere - I found the whole movie trite. Some bits were so pretentious it made me laugh. Two thumbs down.
