Film Threat: Been Caught Stealin’
RECOMMENDED: We said it before, and we’ll say it again: We will watch ANYTHING that’s about people stealing shit. And this week, we can add another rule to the Philebrity Moviegoing Handbook: We’ll also watch ANYTHING with Michael Caine. We know the risks involved. We’re well aware of what can happen. But look at it this way: The man is old. Each movie could be his last, and in Flawless, we see an elderly version of the Caine who made “Alfie” a byword for The Kind Of Dude We Can Never Get Enough Of. Sorry, Dr. Phil. In this heist tale set in swinging 1960s London, he plays opposite Demi Moore (Jesus, the things we’ll do to see Michael Caine) who get in cahoots together to steal lots and lots of shit.

ALSO NEW IN THEATRES: Yet another movie about stealing shit! Well, sort of. 21 stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth in the true-ish story of five MIT students who perfected a card-counting ring in Vegas. Snow Angels is a straight up Stuff White People Like tear jerker about suburban disaffection, based on a Stewart O’Nan book and directed by David Gordon Green; Superhero Movie seems COMPLETELY (and literally) half-baked, but you’ll watch it on cable in six months anyway because Tracy Morgan is in it, playing the headmaster at an academy for young superheroes; and Run Fatboy Run is the Shaun Of The Dead guy in a romantic comedy whose plot you already know by heart because they’ve been running the trailer every five minutes for the last six months. Punchline: It’s directed by David Schwimmer.
