Caine at 90 (films): I was struck by how stunningly banal and formulaic it all was
"I can't think of one I could see again," Michael Caine said yesterday of today's movie crop on the preem of Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men in Venice. Reports Dalya Alberge in the Australian. Casablanca 
is full of memorable lines, he said, citing the moment... Rick recalls the day the Germans marched into Paris. Rick tells... Ilsa: "I remember every detail. The Germans wore grey, you wore blue." Caine said, "Who today writes such lines?" He spoke yesterday of feeling "quite depressed" on Saturday night after casting his eye over the top 10 box-office hits in the US. He said: "I was struck by how stunningly banal and formulaic it all was."
