Michael Caine

Inglourious Basterds creator, Quentin Tarantino said he would work with Brad Pitt again "in a heartbeat.”

The 46-year-old director said: "Brad deserves more respect and I think he is getting it. He has become arguably the biggest male movie star in the world. It seems like his time. It is the best time to work with him."

Bill Milner has cornered the market on playing earnest, adorable British lads who, despite being friendless and lost, tug at your heartstrings and open your eyes to a new way of looking at the world.

Last year he charmed the pants off of audiences in the sweet, heartfelt, coming-of-age film Son of Rambow and now he’s back in the bittersweet, somber, coming-to-the-end-of-age film Is Anybody There?

Last night was ShowWest’s closing night awards banquet where the National Association of Theater Owners honored the actors and actresses they’ve knighted the biggest stars (and sacred cash cows) of the upcoming year.

The honorees included Zac Efron, Rachel McAdams, Audrina Patridge (say WHAT?!?!?), Dennis Quaid, Michael Caine, Sienna Miller, Zack Snyder, Bradley Cooper and Michael Bay.

So who would you rather?

Zac-y Pooh in all his barely legal, 17 Again glory?

Michael Caine felt extra chatty at the Toronto Film Festival where he’s promoting Is There Anybody There? The Batman star spilled some major casting beans.

The Dark Knight is a new breed of filmmaking.

It’s a summer blockbuster about morality, an action film with emotional heft, a popcorn flick that takes pride in the chiaroscuro of each shot, a weighty tale of justice and valor told with an unflinching honesty, a thrill ride driven by impeccable acting…and it’s all based on a comic book.

In short, there has never been anything like it.

We’re getting a batsignal in our bedroom! How great would it be if you switched it on, and The Buckley of The Bale suddenly came swooping in? Sigh.

Sir Michael Caine was honored with his hand and footprints in cement at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood today.

At the ceremony, Caine spoke about Heath Ledger’s much buzzed performance as the Joker in their new film The Dark Knight.

“I just watched him and talked to him for three days,” Caine said, “and I thought he was extraordinary. I think he'll get a posthumous Oscar nomination at least.”

We totally agree. We just wonder who will accept the award on his behalf. Michelle Williams, Jake Gyllenhaal, his parents, Christian Bale?

Christian Bale speaks to Parade Magazine about his new film The Dark Knight, the influence Michael Caine has on him and how Heath Ledger’s death has affected him.

Michael Caine is back as Alfred. How would you describe his influence on you?
