Perhaps it was his role as Don Logan in Sexy Beast that helped Ben Kingsley connect with his inner angry, unbridled side—a far cry from the actor's famous performance as Ghandi. Whatever the case, Mean Magazine's recent video of the knighted, Oscar-winning actor lip-syncing as Ian MacKaye to hardcore punk band Minor Threat's eponymous classic song has got the Internet all in a tizzy with questions.

Being an intelligent, self-satisfied, confident and worldly college professor is not enough to protect David Kepesh (Ben Kingsley) from the power of love in Elegy, Nicholas Meyer’s film adaptation of Philip Roth’s novel The Dying Animal. While having a reputation for seducing his female students, Kepesh continuously avoids any kind of lasting relationship, until he meets Consuela (Penelope Cruz), a dark-haired beauty of Cuban immigrants who becomes Kepesh’s lover, but also his obsession. Like an infatuated schoolboy fearful of rejection, he pines over her when she is not with him but keeps her at bay when she is close. While the age difference seemingly means nothing to Consuela, Kepesh uses it and his belief in carnal adventures without commitment to sabotage any kind of possible future together.
