Bruno

Bruno was set to be released very shortly after Michael Jackson died on June 25. The problem was that Bruno featured a scene where La Toya Jackson was interviewed and Jacko’s phone number was stolen by the camp TV presenter.
This, rather inevitably, led to the scene being cut from the theatrical release of the movie. […]

Bruno has had a mixed reception since release, and that’s putting it mildly. The critics like the film, fans of Sacha Baron Cohen like the film, and well, I like the film. On the other side are homophobes, GLAAD, and anyone without a sense of humor, which seems to be most of middle America.
As if […]

The new Bruno film is magnificent. Seriously. I know there will be lots of people who’d steer well clear of it because of its subject matter and edgy humor, but those people are missing out big time on the funniest film of the year so far. And as soon as I’d seen it, I wanted […]

If you’re homophobic then I suggest you stop reading this review right now. I also suggest you don’t go and see the Bruno movie, because all you’re going to see is yourself and the people who think like you shown up as the ludicrous individuals you are. OK, lecture over, now onto the movie.

The death of The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, on Thursday, June 25 was a shocking event which captured the world’s attention and caused widespread grief the likes of which I haven’t witnessed since Princess Diana died in 1997. And it’s now also had an effect on a Hollywood movie.

You may remember that there were a lot of lawsuits flying around in the aftermath of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Bruno looks set to see a similar fallout but this time it’s happening even before the movie has been released.
BBC News reports that Richelle Olson is suing […]

It emerged last month that the first cut of Bruno submitted to the MPAA for classification was lumbered with an NC-17 rating, banning anyone under the age of 17 from seeing the film. The main problem appeared to be several sexual scenes which were thought to be unacceptable. Probably because they featured gay people - […]

Bruno, the new movie from Sacha Baron Cohen, has to one of the most eagerly-awaited for 2009. Borat was such a colossal hit, especially in the U.S., that any follow-up was sure to be welcomed with open arms. Filming is now complete on Bruno, and the film has now been submitted to the classification board […]

Sacha Baron Cohen is the master of creating characters designed ultimately to show up stereotypes and mock those with closed minds. Anyone who is familiar with either his Ali G character or Borat, the star of one of the most cringe worthy but funny movies in history will know what to expect from the comedian […]
