Caine and Hodges followup, Pulp, is even more interesting in some ways. It begins as a parody of film noir, with an excellent voice-over narration by Caine. If you only remember Mickey Rooney from Andy Hardy films, you're in for a surprise. It does end with what might seem on first impression as a piece of overly abstract surrealism.Ted_Fontenotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279678409089205149.post-5955601007979224342013-03-27T12:48:14.414+05:302013-03-27T12:48:14.414+05:30Thanks Bonjour...

As far as Caine is concerned, what really got me hooked were his latter performances as a character actor: be it The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Prestige, or Children of Men. I could sense something sensational about him even in those smaller roles... I mean here was this actor who would steal every scene that he is a part of. It was only later on that I got the opportunity to explore his earlier works. Even in an above-average movie like Dressed to Kill, he is simply arresting to watch, let aside his much superior works like Sleuth, The Italian Job, etc.Murtaza Alihttp://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279678409089205149.post-87268617098719536452013-03-27T12:39:21.681+05:302013-03-27T12:39:21.681+05:30Caine was and always will be one of the coolest ac...Caine was and always will be one of the coolest actors to grace the screen.
