We don’t post too many movie trailers on this site (just campaign ads horribly edited to look like them), but this one certainly caught our attention. Sacha Baron Cohen AKA the Hairy Chameleon (a nickname I just made up) has done a pretty great job so far of making satires that perfectly parody elements of our society. Borat took on American xenophobia and ignorance of foreign cultures while Bruno tackled homophobia. His skill at choosing timely targets appears to be as strong as ever as the trailer for his latest movie, The Dictator, arrived today. In it, Baron Cohen plays General Aladeen, a dictator of a fictional Middle Eastern country very much like any of the rulers who seem to be dropping like flies these days.

Remember the movie Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen’s mockumentary about a Kazakh reporter travelling around American and getting into hilarious scrapes? Well, the people of Kazakhstan certainly do and they’re getting their revenge with a new unofficial sequel entitled My Brother, Borat. The people behind it hope that the film will show “the real Kazakhstan” and that the country is not the backwards disaster it was depicted as in the original 2006 film. Obviously this is a great idea because nothing shows how advanced you are as a society like showing that your feelings are still hurt over comedy that came out four years ago.

Here are some highlights of Walters’ review.

“Bruno” hit theaters this weekend, and the results are in — over $30MM made it the Box Office Champ.

GQ’s July issue is the “Comedy Issue” so who better to put on the cover than a naked and coquettish Sacha Baron Cohen. But as Stephanie Clifford reports in the New York Times, the naked visage of Bruno has made a lot of people nervous — just like the movie:
