CitizenCaine

American movies (24)

• Interstellar (2014)
  Overly long but beautifully acted and directed film about a group of scientists, led by farmer Matthew McConaughey, who try to save a dying Earth by going through a wormhole into the unknown
  Rating: 6/10
• Weather Man, The (2005)
  Downbeat but curiously watchable character study of a weather man (Nicolas Cage) and his dysfunctional family relationships, including with his award-winning-author father (Caine)
  Rating: 6/10
• Miss Congeniality (2000)
  Fun comedy about an FBI agent who is forced to pose as a beauty pageant contestant to seek out a domestic terrorist
  Rating: 8/10
• Get Carter (2000)
  Unnecessary remake of the 1971 Mike Hodges classic, this time starring Sylvester Stallone as Jack Carter
  Rating: 2/10
• Blood and Wine (1996)
  Absorbing character study of a heist gone wrong which focuses more on the dysfunctional relationships than the crime, with strong performances and a fine eye for detail
  Rating: 7/10
• Bullet to Beijing (1995)
  The first of the TV movie follow-ups to the original Harry Palmer trilogy misses the point entirely
  Rating: 2/10
• On Deadly Ground (1994)
  Dull action thriller from Steven Seagal with a very heavy side of eco-consciousness and Michael Caine as the sneering baddie
  Rating: 3/10
• Mr Destiny (1990)
  Wish fulfilment comedy about an average Joe (James Belushi) who gets his wish granted by the mysterious Mike (Caine) to see what his life would have been if he had hit that home run in the Big Game back in high school
  Rating: 4/10
• Surrender (1987)
  Unfunny, unromantic rom-com in which a rich author (Caine) poses as impoverished writer to romance Sally Field
  Rating: 2/10
• Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
  Fourth instalment in the Jaws franchise ignores science and sanity by proclaiming that, for the sharks, 'This time – it’s personal!'
  Rating: 3/10
• Sweet Liberty (1986)
  Gentle poke at Hollywood excesses as college professor Alan Alda watches his historical novel being cannibalised by a movie production, including its lothario star, Michael Caine
  Rating: 6/10
• Blame It on Rio (1984)
  Icky rom-com which sees middle-aged Caine romancing his best friend’s teenage daughter while on holiday
  Rating: 0/10
• Deathtrap (1982)
  Probably most famous as the film in which Michael Caine kisses Christopher Reeve, this black comedy mystery never escapes its theatrical origins
  Rating: 5/10
• Hand, The (1981)
  Ludicrous and misogynist horror from Oliver Stone about a man’s amputated hand going on its own killing spree
  Rating: 1/10
• Dressed to Kill (1980)
  Risqué for its time, this slasher-thriller still provides some thrills despite dubious early 1980s sexual politics
  Rating: 7/10
• Island, The (1980)
  Weird, unscary horror about a pirate community which has been isolated since the seventeenth century and wants to steal Michael Caine’s child to repopulate their little island colony – awful
  Rating: 0/10
• Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979)
  Although disappointing as both a sequel and a disaster movie, there's still some fun to be had from the cast hamming it up underwater
  Rating: 4/10
• California Suite (1978)
  Consistently funny look at four couples staying in an LA hotel over the Oscars weekend
  Rating: 9/10
• Swarm, The (1978)
  Ludicrous attack-of-the-killer-bees movie which makes almost no sense at all, but isn't a terrible way to spend a lazy afternoon in front of the TV
  Rating: 6/10
