Of Course Sacha Baron Cohen May Head to Eurovision Next!
This is one of those palm-to-forehead "of course!" moments: for his next trick, Sacha Baron Cohen will allegedly star in Eurovision: The Movie in which he will play a singer who enters the Eurovision Song Competition TV show.
Over two years ago, Borat screenwriter Dan Mazer and producer Damian Jones thought up Eurovision: The Movie, and Cohen will apparently dream up a new character who will compete on the show.
Bruno: Makes You Squirm More Than Think
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.
Where Does Bruno Fall on Your Cringe-to-Pleasure Scale?
Over the weekend I got to talking with some friends about Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming movie, Bruno, and I learned that a couple of them probably won't see the movie because they find it too uncomfortable. The cringe-worthy situations that Cohen puts himself in, as Bruno and previously as Borat, are what many folks find hysterically funny, but at the same time, they can make some people squirm in a most unpleasant way.

Cohen's flamboyant Austrian character Bruno travels around doing and saying crazy things to provoke people — and getting it all on film.
Witherspoon, Giamatti, and Cohen Looking to Downsize
I've been mulling over this movie news all day because it's this bizarre mix of intriguing and "whaaaaaaa?" I'm not sure I've figured it all out entirely, but I'll relay the stuff we know so far.
The good news is that this project, titled Downsizing, will be directed by Alexander Payne, the man behind Election and Sideways.
Which Sherlock Holmes Movie Would You Rather See?
There was Sherlock Holmes movie news recently (Guy Ritchie looking to re-invent the old sleuth story) and now there's more Sherlock Holmes movie news (Sacha Baron Cohen playing Holmes, Will Ferrell to play Watson in, of course, a comedic version). Can we call it a Sherlock Holmes "surge" or "trend" yet?
Regardless, there are two Holmes projects in the works and both sound intriguing.
