    There's only one Michael Caine

    Movie fans have slammed Sly Stallone's attempt to put his own spin on Get Carter. A poll by DVD rental firm selectscreen.co.uk found that the 2000 reworking of the 1970s classic was the worst remake of all time. Stallone's ill-fated project was closely followed by the 1998 remake of Psycho and this summer's blockbuster, Thunderbirds. Alfie, another Caine classic, came in at number six. British actor Jude Law takes the lead in the 21st century version, which is at cinemas now. "It proves... Read more

    The people behind the 2003 version of the "The Italian Job" are considering a sequel. "The Italian Job" seems to be following a year or two behind "Ocean's Eleven". Both were originally 1960s films, made with some of the hottest stars of their day, re-made for today's audience. Both modern versions now look set for sequels. The original "Ocean's Eleven" starred half of Hollywood's rat-pack - with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior - while... Read more
