		<description><![CDATA[Sony Pictures and Lakeshore Entertainment seem disinterested in running "For Your Consideration" ads for ELEGY, which is a huge shame because Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz gave some of the best performances of their career in that movie, really strong efforts which shouldn't be overlooked.

ELEGY is probably in my top three movies of the year, I really adored this movie. I wish it was getting more buzz...



Dennis Hopper too may be in with a shout at Best Supporting Actor. You can read my original review of the movie HERE.

Academy Awards Process as detailed by Awards Daily…

	Friday, December 26, 2008: Nominations ballots mailed
	Monday, January 12, 2009: Nominations polls close 5 p.m. Pacific Time
	Thursday, January 22, 2009: Nominations announced 5:30 a.m. PT, Samuel Goldwyn Theater

Four Your Consideration is Matt's new feature attempting to showcase the movies and performances he has enjoyed this year and he believes is worthy of Academy Award nomination. Previously he mentioned Josh Brolin in W. and Heath Ledger in THE DARK KNIGHT. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[64 year old veteran Sir. Ben Kingsley and a recently revitalized Penelope Cruz, some 30 years his junior, together have created the most convincing and emotionally true love story on screen this year in Elegy, an adaptation of the always tough to crack writings of Phillip Roth.

Based on his short novel "The Dying Animal" (which was strangely dropped as the title of the movie), Kingsley plays David Kepesh, a middle-aged college professor whose sharp intellect and glowing outward confidence has managed to secure the affection of gorgeous young students after their graduation for a long time with laid back, no strings attached sex.

You see Kepesh is famous. He is a frequent talk show guest whose impressive mind has brought him some fame and the girls are often awe struck by him.

Annually, he holds a party for his students where he can finally without the worry of messed up semesters or his peers being aware, can succumb to the urges he has been feeling all year for the students he picks out but he may have gotten more than he bargained for with the mentally screwed on Cuban-American beauty Consuela Castillo (Cruz).

She fascinates Kapesh, he reminds her of a beautiful painting ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[was so annoyed with myself last week, so God damn annoyed when I missed the opportunity to see the Penelope Cruz/Ben Kingsley drama Elegy, Isabel Coixet's (The Secret Life of Words) drama based on the classic Phillip Roth novel "The Dying Animal".

I adored the trailer, I really enjoy what should be sleazy tales of an older man going off with a younger women, which when done right can capture you and really hit that romantic side of your heart and become a believable love story between two souls.


In what to be looks an absolute Best Leading Role Academy Award nom, Ben Kingsley plays a very handsome and physically fit 60 year old teacher who late in life finds a real connection with a beautiful women who just happens to be a young student he teaches.

The astoundingly beautiful Penelope Cruz plays the young student.

It's currently out now on limited release but shockingly, I'm struggling to find a theatre near me showing it in this hectic blockbuster season.

On Charlie Rose last week, Cruz and one of the supporting actors from the movie Dennis Hopper and the film's director Isabel Coixet's spoke at length about the movie is a real interesting watch, very ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ben Kingsley is a great leading actor and I'm so happy to see him topline the upcoming drama Elegy, based on Phillip Roth's novel The Dying Animal. Kingsley is so much more than the guy who cameo's in The Love Guru or even the upcoming Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Here he plays a 60+ teacher who late in life finds a real connection with a beautiful women who just happens to be a young student (Cruz) he teaches.

Could it be love?

Dennis Hopper (as his advising friend), Patricia Clarkson (as the woman he has been seeing closer to his age) and Peter Sarsgaard co-star.

It's nothing we haven't seen from Cruz before where she is the object of a man falling deeply in love with her free spirit but it's Kingsley who makes this guy a real character that we can get invested in and not some old pervert.

See it in quality HD HERE
The film gets a theatrical run from August 8th in both the U.K. and U.S. Isabel Coixet (My Life Without Me) directed it. ]]></description>
