By Dr. Cole Abaius Flight!!! No. Also, Danny gets naked. Easy. Bruno. Because it blew my mind and Sacha Baron Cohen is my hero. It’s a huge movie! Q15: What’s up next for you? Q: Is there anything particularly challenging about being a female comedian? Or a female actor for that matter?

By John Cairns And Bruno’s freefall continues to amaze. It fell to tenth place and $2,719,000, a 67.3% drop. You would have thought the drop would be more modest than that right now, but it’s so obvious that Sacha Baron Cohen pushed the limits too far this time and grossed everyone out. Sixty-seven percent – m...

By David Baxter 1. Sacha Baron Cohen – Borat, Ali G, Bruno Make no mistake, Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t top of this list just because Bruno came out last week. He’s top because he gives awkward comedy captured with real people. So he not only puts his shame on the line, instead possibly his life. Take for example Brun...

By John Cairns Anyway, Bruno lost again on Monday to Ice Age 3, and I really don’t see it making much of a challenge beyond this week. It’s too bad for Sacha Baron Cohen who brings his “A” game all the time, but that’s life. So the box office for the Friday to Sunday weekend looks to be as follows:

By Landon Palmer Cohen’s third character, Bruno, served two distinct purposes. On the one hand, he revealed a narrow-minded ludicrous sense of self-seriousness within the fashion industry, a dense vapidity ripe for mocking. On the other, Bruno explored both casual and overt forms of homophobia within...

Rate Box Office: Bruno Wins the Weekend, Opens to $30 million

Original at Film School Rejects external link    Sun, Jul 12

By John Cairns As expected it was the weekend of Bruno at the box office, as a $14.4 million opening on Friday night powered the Sacha Baron Cohen flick to a first place finish at $30 million. That’s better than the $26 million opening for Borat. The results:

By Dr. Cole Abaius And yes, I’m talking about the film of course. It’s been a long time coming, but finally Sacha Baron Cohen has given unfunny frat guys something new to quote (and he even threw in a new ridiculous accent!). We want to know what you thought. Some funtastic Bruno discussion topics:

Rate Reject Report: Brüno Set to Invade Theaters

Original at Film School Rejects external link    Fri, Jul 10

By John Cairns Now on to Brüno, starring Sacha Baron Cohen, which is yet another documentary-style comedy along the lines of Borat from a couple of years ago. Borat was funny as hell and made a ton of money, and as a result everyone thought there was no way people would be conned again by Sacha Baron Cohen. But...

By Kevin Carr Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen What it’s about: Sacha Baron Cohen returns to ambush mockumentaries with the Borat-esque feature film about a flamboyant Austrian fashionista who comes to America to become famous by interviewing celebrities and trying to suppress his gay nature.

Rate Review: Bruno

Original at Film School Rejects external link    Thu, Jul 9

By Landon Palmer Sacha Baron Cohen is, without doubt, a comedian with balls. In Bruno, his latest feature-length adaptation of one of his three characters from The Ali G Show, the Peter Sellers of the 21st century puts himself in such absurd and sometimes unbelievably real situations that result in him, a...

By Neil Miller The scene in question sees Bruno, the gay Austrian fashion journalist played by Sacha Baron Cohen, interviewing an unsuspecting LaToya Jackson about various topics, including her brother. Among the topics: the pop star’s high-pitched voice and his trademark white glove. According to...

By Cole Abaius Still, I’ve got a ton of faith in Sacha Baron Cohen to deliver things even more shocking than what’s found in the trailer. That’s sort of the challenge with his movies - get people into the theater because of how shocking he is and then make them realize that there will hasn’t come close to bein...

By Cole Abaius Film Drunk got their mitts on a new video from Bruno (who looks shockingly similar to Sacha Baron Cohen) advertising himself and his asschenhaler as open for friendship and interracial deliveries. See for yourself if a friendship with Bruno is right for you!

By FSR Staff The controversy leading up to Borat in 2006 was certainly prolific, and the film didn’t disappoint. It was controversial, crazy, and absolutely hilarious. This summer, Sacha Baron Cohen is back with another one of his zany characters in Bruno, playing a gay Austrian fashion aficionado a...

By Cole Abaius Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno Makes it to Third Base with Congressman Ron Paul We’re not surprised that Cohen had the stones to try to con political icon Ron Paul into an awkward sexual encounter for the benefit of his particular brand of comedy, but it is surprising that Paul didn’t realize ho...

By Cole Abaius This thing looks epic. From the trailer and the footage we’ve see, it looks like he’s keeping all of the best things about the character in tact while ramping up the stakes, displaying just how far he’s willing to go to make comedy. Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t the only person out there pushing the b...

By Cole Abaius Our very own Rob Hunter was able to check out some advanced footage of Bruno here at SxSW, and from his report, it might be reasonable that the MPAA gave what amounts to a veto stamp. There’s obviously a ton of sexual content, some of it (shockingly) still taboo for middle America. And I have no d...
