I made an error in judgement when I classified Sir Michael Caine's appearance in Jaws: The Revenge a clear cut case of The Aniston Effect. This is not a film he would like to forget, in fact I think Michael Caine relishes the fact that he can be in whatever movie he wants. Why? Because he is Michael Caine. This is what I call The Caine Mutiny.

Rather than be swayed by good scripts and potential awards and accolades, Michael Caine does as he pleases...because he is Michael Caine. Sure this multi-Academy Award winner does his share of classic films, but does he turn his nose up at the opportunity to star in The Muppet Christmas Carol? Absolutely not. Because he is Michael Caine. Why star in the Godfather when he can sally forth onto the pitch alongside Slyvester Stallone and Pele in Victory? Why not show off your superior acting skills against Steven Seagal in On Deadly Ground? When the producers of The Swarm come calling Michael Caine calls back. Because that is what Michael Caine does. And why not laugh as Lorraine Gary mourns the final moments of her career in Jaws: The Revenge? Why indeed? This is Michael Caine, and this is his creed. The Caine Mutiny.
