Michael Caine has been talking about his latest projects on his official website, including Children of Men, The Prestige, Sleuth and The Dark Knight-
“Very soon I’ll do some pre-publicity and attend the Premier of “Children of Men”. I only have a small part in this film but I had a lot of fun playing a bearded hippy pot smoking relic of the sixties all things I never was except relic of the sixties.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
