Sexy Beast

[Great-Kazoo]

So, the reason I ever came across Sexy Beast, was because I was listening to an interview on NPR and they mentioned it. They were interviewing the lady responsible for putting the sound track to movies, and she was talking about the song she used for the opening scene. The interviewer mentioned Ben Kingsley and how shocking it is to see him in that role when he is known for playing Ghandi. I had no idea what the movie was about and went and got it.

I looked the movie up on Wiki today, then looked up the page on Kingsley. He is in many movies that I've seen, but I don't specifically remember him: Species, AI: Artificial Intelligence, Lucky Number Sleven, etc, plus even more that I've heard of but have not seen.

I've got Schindler's List on my "List to See" right now and will have to watch Lucky Number Sleven again.

I'm going to pick up "You Kill Me" asap. Has anyone seen Ghandi? Should I check it out?

Someone in the Youtube comments said that the people who did Sexy Beast got together and did another movie recently but it didn't get as good of reviews.

Add Suspect Zero to your must see list. Pay attention to it(turn off the phone) and watch it w/out interuption

That's how I try to watch all my movies. Added to list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Also thanks for not ruining it by telling me what it is about. I like to read books and see movies knowing as little about them as possible.

+1 on suspect zero, also The House of Sand and Fog if you haven't seen it

I didn't like sexy beast.

[Irving]

Not a dialog kind of guy?

[Elhuero]

it's not that, I just hate movies with these big scary bad guys that don't scare me. like no country for old men.

about the time when ghandi was pacing around saying "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO" I would have told him to shut up, then kneecapped him. cut to final under the pool w/ bunny scene, roll credits. the end.

Well I just finished watching House of Sand and Fog. Upsetting movie, everyone acted...shameful. Kind of reminded me of a more mainstream (watered down) Requiem For A Dream or Los Amores Perros. Great film, just a tough pill to swallow.

I also already watched You Kill Me. Pretty good movie, and answered my question of which film had Ben Kingsley and Luke Wilson together (saw a picture some where on line and was curious). Since Sexy Beast was the first Kingsley movie to grab my attention, it has been an adjustment to see him use a different accent than the English one in Sexy Beast.

Suspect Zero will be next to watch, and I'm also sitting on Gandhi and Schindler's List.
