Does David Duchovny know about this?
How is it that nobody told us there’s a Ben Kingsley/Tea Leoni movie coming out? (Aren’t we on the first-to-call list? Jeez.) Maybe they thought we wouldn’t believe it. Because, you’ve got to admit, Ben “Gandhi/Sexy Beast” Kingsley + Tea “I played first base for the other team in A League of Their Own, and then I married David Duchovny, but it seems to be working out surprisingly well” Leoni? Does not compute. Add Luke Wilson to the mix and it’s even less comprehensible. I’m just saying.
The movie is You Kill Me, about a hit man who’s an alcoholic–which makes sense, right?–and then somehow goes into therapy and meets a nice woman and tries to settle down. I think. It’s all a little Grosse Pointe Blank, but is that really a bad thing? I like Grosse Pointe Blank. No Dan Aykroyd, and maybe there won’t be the awesome shoot-out in the house at the end, but maybe they’ll try to do their own thing with it. Mostly I’m still boggling over SIR BEN KINGSLEY, gatekeeper for basically everything that is awesome, and Tea Leoni, who…seems like a nice person. I’m pleased for her. I am, really. Just a little….confused.
Am I the only one that’s a little at sea, here?

I get the sarcasm, but Tea Leoni has had some good roles, and certainly has done more than her 2.5 second role in “A League of their Own” 15 years ago. I recommend “Flirting With Disaster,” “The Family Man,” “Spanglish” and “People I Know,” all of which she was quite good in. She ain’t just “Mrs. David Duchovny,” even though she HAS been married to the same person for about a decade longer than most people in Hollywood usually are.

Is it possible that Sir Ben Kingsley has an evil/dorky twin… One plays in Ghandi and Schindler’s List while the other does BloodRayne and Species and the kids’ movie with jets and Bill Paxton. (To quote the Extreme: “This is all a tissue of lies: See there was another Bill, an evil Bill, and I killed him.”) Christian Bale, eat your Prestigous heart out.
Curious add on: Could it be that while one Ben Kingsley makes movies, the other one puts on a nasty wig and goofy glasses and walks around as Bono? Hmmm.
