Michael Caine

  • "The Weather Man"

    Nicolas Cage's sad-sack family man is both pitiable and exasperating, but eventually his incessant martyrdom is just boring.

  • "Bewitched"

    With her gimmicky remake, Nora Ephron proves that no mere mortal can stifle Nicole Kidman's magic.

  • "Batman Begins"

    You know you're in trouble when a movie can't even get the Batmobile right.

  • Cockney rebel

    Michael Caine talks about playing an aging Nazi in "The Statement," why he hates nude scenes, what he learned from Laurence Olivier, and whether he'll ever win that best-actor Oscar he wants.

  • "The Statement"

    Michael Caine is brilliant as a French Nazi collaborator hidden by the Catholic Church. Too bad Norman Jewison's film is a stiff, limping bore.

  • "Austin Powers in Goldmember"

    It's a mess, and a ridiculous golden shower of toilet humor. But Mike Myers' superspy spoof still provides the summer's purest movie delight.
    By Charles Taylor July 26, 2002

  • "Last Orders"

    Michael Caine heads a dream cast of veteran English actors in Fred Schepisi's unassuming masterpiece about life, love and the cruel joke of old age.

  • Gwyneth: Sex, butts and scumbags

  • Michael Douglas closes testicle chapter

    Zeta-Jones' hubbie settles near-neutering case; Sandra Bullock straddles Benjamin Bratt's noggin. Plus: Elliott Gould and Cher must talk!
    By Amy Reiter December 22, 2000

  • Philip Kaufman

    The director of "Quills," the new film about the Marquis de Sade, discusses sex, writers, repression and his movie's parallels to the Starr-Clinton fiasco.
    By Stephen Lemons November 27, 2000

  • "The Cider House Rules"

    In adapting his novel for the screen, John Irving wanted the story to be trimmer than in his book -- as long as he was the one wielding the knife.
    By Charles Taylor October 27, 2000

  • Michael Caine

    Over four decades -- from "Alfie" to "The Cider House Rules" -- he has played warm, cold and everything in between, and never feared losing the audience's sympathy.
    By Charles Taylor October 3, 2000

  • "The Man Who Would Be King"

    He had to bide his time, but humane cynic John Huston finally got the chance to make one of the most sophisticated American entertainments ever.
    By Charles Taylor September 21, 2000

  • Stripper mauled

    Paula Jones "that kind of girl" after all; but Mike Tyson, "upset" by stripper's advances, not that kind of boy.
    By Amy Reiter May 11, 2000

  • Look out! Here comes a sound bite!

    Being at the Academy Awards has a strange effect on the attendees. Some are moved to eloquence, some to idiocy, while others become just plain insufferable.
    By Amy Reiter March 27, 2000

  • Oscars 2000

    Untethered hooters! Suave cocksmiths! But even Billy Crystal and Hilary Swank couldn't save a crushingly boring show.

    By Joyce Millman March 24, 2000

    Oscar nominations for suburban satire and Denzel Washington; "Mr. Ripley" and Jim Carrey snubbed.
    By Andrew O'Hehir February 16, 2000

  • "The Cider House Rules"

    Driven by Tobey Maguire's marvelously layered performance, Lasse Hallstrvm's old-fashioned cinematic yarn-spinning yields genuine emotion without sentimentality.
    By Stephanie Zacharek January 25, 2000

  • Psychic hot tip: Mariah and Bill in Y2K
