'Bruno' Review

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:22:41 EDT

“Bruno” has enough gay heat to toast a Pop Tart in the Pope’s ass. Clad in sequin thongs, soaked in glitter and always accompanied by bad techno tracks, our title character is the stuff of Catholics’ nightmares. Dan Brown can finally step aside. Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest half-baked, half-faked documentary has a lot in common with the phallic sex toys that co-star with our flamboyant Austrian fashion show host: It’s simultaneously fake and shocking. (Oh, and don’t worry, there are plenty real schlong shots, too.) “Bruno” is also wildly entertaining, in case you’re wondering. But here’s the question you really want ...

'Public Enemies' Movie Review

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:25:37 EDT

The cat and mouse game played by the world's most prolific bank robber and the first big-time FBI agent isn't worth a slice of government cheese. "Public Enemies" is a lifeless, listless Tommy Gun-athon. The world's most beloved bank robber is supposed to be a Robin Hood who forgets to give back the cash. A Depression Era anti-hero who charms the ladies and cajoles Johnny Law. But here he’s a boring creep. Granted, Johnny Depp is only given give a thin script and a bad (and thin) mustache to make his portrayal of John Dillinger a dandy one, but he’s still ...
