Every time I look at a movie site recently, or watch the annoying Showbiz news bulletins, I have to read and hear about "The beautiful Penelope Cruz strips for Sir Ben Kingsley", and how lucky he is as he is 64... I think I might watch the film just to see what all the fuss is about! Mad

I'm really looking forward to seeing it, as I never had a chance to see Sir Ben playing a character involved in a romance. I've watched the trailer and in my opinion it looks very impressive.

I don't really like romance films but I watched a snippet of "Elegy" on YouTube and I think I just might watch this one. I'm curious as to how Sir Ben will be in this kind of role.
