| When I first heard that Rene Russo appears topless in "The Thomas
Crown Affair," I lost a lot of respect for the actress I had first noticed
and admired in 1993's "In the Line of Fire." Surely you take your top off
first and then you get your big break...more |

| Okay, I admit. I had high expectations. My friend Jody saw it twice
already, and she said she'd see it with me again, and not just because
of Pierce Brosnan's most excellent behind. I was disappointed (geez,

| The only thing worse than a bad sequel is a bad remake. Bad remakes are
worse because they lower the integrity of the original film somewhat and
if anyone ever tries to remake 'Citizen Kane', 'The Godfather' or 'Star
Wars' they will certainly fail. A...more |

| The Thomas Crown Affair, a remake of the 1968 Steve McQueen romance of
the same name, is a glossy star vehicle with an attractive surface but
an empty shell. While you will probably enjoy the star chemistry, the
film lacks a certain urgency. And those...more |

| **1/2 (out of 4) THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR is a caper movie — the kind of
light crime drama where sophisticated, clever thieves try to pull off
the perfect crime. As capers go, it's smart and well-oiled. The crime
story works wonderfully. The movie only...more |

| Rene Russo finally did it. She finally gave up her antiquated morals and
her idiotic ideals. She finally buckled under the pressure of the Hollywood

| "The Thomas Crown Affair" is a fun, fluffy caper film. And it is fitting
that the movie is about theft, because Rene Russo steals this romantic
drama from nominal star Pierce Brosnan. more |

| "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968) was one of those
self-consciously "mod" caper films Hollywood cranked out by the dozens
in the late 1960s, this one starring Steve McQueen as Thomas Crown, a
millionaire who masterminded robberies simply for the...more |

| The original version of _The_Thomas_Crown_Affair_, released in 1968, is
an ideal project to be remade. The sleek Norman Jewison-directed, Steve
McQueen-Faye Dunaway-starring caper is an entertaining film, but
certainly not a great one, leaving a sizable...more |
