Michael Caine and Kebabs
"IF Sir Michael Caine was writing this article, he might start it by saying, 'the döner kebab was invented in Berlin. Not many people know that.' (By the way, did you know that Sir Michael once published a book called 'Not Many People Know That'? He followed it up with a second book with an even better title:' Not Many People Know This Either!' I wonder how many people know either of those things? Also, did you hear Sir Michael on Desert Island Discs last year? It was a fantastic show, interesting because it turns out he is into chill out music — breezy, Ibiza-y stuff by people like Chicane and Bent — but also encouraging, with Sir Michael talking about why its best to be an optimist in life.

'Harry Brown' Looks Kickass
The geriatric revenge picture Harry Brown opens in the UK today. BlackBook calls it Michael Caine's "Gran Torino moment." The Guardian declares, "What a tremendous role for Caine. I can't imagine anyone else carrying it off." Alex Balk says, "Oh, yes, please, bring it on." But then I'm a huge fan of the original Get Carter. The Samuel Goldwyn Company will distribute it here in the states, and ohmygodIamsothere.
