One of the funniest parts of Bruno is when Sacha Baron Cohen's flamboyant character tries to undergo gay-therapy, a stunt also attempted in this clip from the original Ali G Show. Well today the American Psychological Association announced that such therapy, typically administered by therapists with a tie to religious groups, does not succeed in making a patient straight. Surprise! The APA Read more
It may be darker than ever, but Harry Potter still brings the magic at the box office. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince worked its wizardry on audiences to the tune of nearly $160 million for its first five days in the theater, with $79.5 million of that coming over the weekend. That's not quite as strong as the five-day opening for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen last month (that Read more
It was an odd little lineup of possibilities at the box office over the weekend: a racy and squirm-inducing adult comedy, an animated prehistoric adventure for kids', some robot cars, slick gangsters, teens with crushes, some family drama, a proposal, a hangover and more. The racy comedy, Bruno, took in the most in box office sales for the weekend with $30.4 million, though Ice Age: Dawn of the Read more
There are cringe-inducing comedies, and there are grossout shockfests, and then there is Bruno. Sacha Baron Cohen's latest movie brazenly mates both genres while thrusting in a touch of documentary and hardcore porn. Bruno made me squirm, but not in the way that Borat did. Whereas Borat succeeded in smartly skewering the stupidity of some Americans by putting them in uncomfortable situations, Read more
Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat taught us "iPod minis are for girls," but his next saucy comedy Brüno promises a more androgynous approach to technology. Having recently proposed tech makeovers for the characters of Gossip Girl, I'm ready to offer up gizmo suggestions for the fashionable, fearless and fierce fictional reporter. 'Cause you should never leave home without your iPhone or your Read more

Sacha Baron Cohen has been making the interview rounds to promote Bruno, usually appearing in costume as his over-the-top character. We got to actually see Sacha himself on Tuesday night when he appeared on The Late Show, and it was a big change from Bruno's typical antics. He might be trying to soften the film's image before its release tomorrow by going as himself, but tell us — do you prefer Read more
