Ffty Dead Men Walking played at the Toronto Film Festival. I don’t know what to make of this trailer because it is hard to understand. Lots of sharp cuts, exploding bombs and unfamiliar dialect about being the spy or mole. Ben Kingsley and Jim Strugess star. I have interviewed the director Kari Skogland a couple of times. I am impressed with her ability to change genres so easily. The film is based on a true story about the IRA in the 1980s.
After seeing this trailer and knowing what this movie is about, I am very excited about Shutter Island. Martin Scorsese has nailed the evil of a psychiatric facility.
Penelope Cruz and Ben Kingsley play off each other so real in this film. This movie will not be a blockbuster, but it’s a great movie to appreciate two actors who work well together.
 ”Queen of the South,” a Jonathan Jakubowicz’s drug-trafficking drama, is set with the major roles filled: Eva Mendes, Josh Hartnett and Ben Kingsley.
The film is based on Spanish writer Arturo Perez-Reverte’s novel about a Mexican woman turned Spanish drug lord (Mendes) out to avenge her boyfriend’s murder. Hartnett plays a Marine who gets involved in her business, and Kingsley plays a Russian businessman, according to Hollywood Reporter.
