>We recently learnt that Sacha Baron Cohen will star in The Dictator, to be directed by Larry Charles with filming set to start in 2011. But what else has the comedy actor who loves to straddle the fine line of offence got in store for the future? Well, according to the LA Times, he will […]

It seems the chameleonic Sacha Baron Cohen and director Larry Charles are set to team up yet again, according to a report in the LA Times. That’s right, the dynamic duo you might know from such previously offensive and, depending on your stance, amusing films as Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious […]

Here’s a question: Which film received the most complaints from Australians in 2009? Was it Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for its cruel depiction of ‘ethnic’ robots? The Ugly Truth for its overall demeanor towards women? Or perhaps it was The Final Destination, simply for existing? I contacted the Office of Film and Literature Classification […]

source: ap.com The Bruno cuts continue, although this one is pretty understandable. An interview between Sacha Baron Cohen‘s flamboyant alter ego and Michael Jackson‘s sister Latoya Jackson has been excised from the theatrical cut of Bruno.

The Australian cut of Sacha Baron Cohen’s raunchy comedy Bruno has been toned down to receive an MA15+ classification after originally being rated R18+. Last night I was lucky enough to attend the premiere of Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat, and was not at all disappointed. It was as hilarious and filthy as you can […]
