October 3, 2007: Cohen wants to Party:
Though he's currently terrorizing unsuspecting victims as flamboyantly flaming stylist Bruno, in-demand actor Sacha Baron Cohen is already looking to future projects where he's not humiliating poor schmucks in faux-documentaries. The first of these is...
March 6, 2007: Borat's balls paid off:
Don't ever say wrestling naked with another man then proceeding to sit on his face, allowing your sweaty, hairy nutsac to gently caress his face, doesn't lead to great things. Ken Davitian, the man who left many a traumatized and paralyzed (from fits of...
January 17, 2007: Cohen Globes speech:
Update: Unfortunately, the speech has been removed from YouTube entirely but Elton was cool enough to send us what appears to be a "legal" link to the speech, which you can find HERE .

actor Sacha Baron Cohen for a Best...
November 16, 2006: Cohen talks Borat:
For the first time since the BORAT movie began filming, actor Sacha Baron Cohen has spoken about the character, the controversy and the cult phenomena. For a cover story in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Cohen let his guard down to writer Neil Strauss. The...
November 14, 2006: Cohen def. cuts hair:
Just about a month ago , we reported that Borat originator Sacha Baron Cohen was in
negotiations to star alongside Johnny Depp in the Tim Burton-directed musical SWEENEY TODD. Because they were merely in the all-too nebulous stage of
"negotations",...
November 13, 2006: Borat sequel talk:
Considering BORAT ruled the box office for a second consecutive week, it's no
surprise that Jay Roach and the rest of the producers behind the film are already talking about a sequel. How exactly does he and Borat originator Sacha Baron Cohen
plan...
November 10, 2006: Hottie Recap:
The weekend is here once again and that can only mean that I'm dusting off my rifle, giving you some MovieHotties.com excerpts and heading out into the woods to kill some birds. It's gonna be super.

November 4, 2006: Borat = great success!:
Looks
like Fox finally has a massive smash on its hands, as BORAT
opened to record numbers on Friday, despite only showing in about
800 theaters. The film grossed close to $10M on Friday alone ,...
November 3, 2006: INT: Borat:
To
call Sacha Baron Cohen’s press conference as Borat an "interview"
might be a stretch. It was a performance, but who else gets to
experience Cohen’s button pushing persona besides his...
October 30, 2006: Review: Borat:
"I
think your enjoyment of this movie will depend on your own
tolerance of this sort of stuff, and whether or not you already
know and enjoy the character of Borat in the first place."...
October 23, 2006: Borat 1st four mins.:
What's interesting to note about the current BORAT craze is that should the
media fervor translate to box office success (unlike the reptilian attack on a commercial airliner), any proposed sequel will be significantly more difficult for Sacha Baron...
October 19, 2006: Borat clips is nice!:
Unlike SNAKES ON A PLANE, of which the hype I was sick of well before the film's release, I'm still psyched about BORAT. The hype has pretty much reached it's apex, what with the Entertainment Weekly cover and reportings on CNN, Fox News, etc., but I still can't...
October 5, 2006: Deleted Borat scene:
At this point, Borat is really a phenomenon that needs no introduction (and his movie, BORAT, is still over a month away). A deleted scene from that movie has popped up online and, as you might expect, it's pretty damn funny. The clip shows Borat at a doctor's...
October 3, 2006: Visit Kazakhstan!:
I'm not sure why Kazakhstani officials are so up in arms about this new BORAT movie. I mean if you take a look at the posters below (courtesy of Mysan.de ), Borat is clearly doing all he can to help increase tourism to the area. It's clean! The water, while...
September 15, 2006: See Borat for free!:
Variety is normally very tough on films, especially comedies, so when you hear that their toughest critic, Todd McCarthy says he was "helplessly crying with laughter" through BORAT, you know it's gotta be good (McCarthy even admits this has never happened to...
September 15, 2006: Borat causes trouble:
Even when he was a regular fixture on "Da Ali G Show," the titular character of of the Sacha Baron Cohen movie, BORAT , pissed off the Kazakhstan government. Understandly so, I guess, since the guy is a twit. A loveable twit, but a twit nontheless. On the...
September 4, 2006: Borat poster & trailer:
The Arrow and I just
returned from our trip to the Toronto Fan Expo (thanks to everyone
who came by to say "Hi", good times), and it just so
happened that the booth next to us was showcasing the Midnight...
August 16, 2006: Funny Borat interview:
Entertainment Weekly recently posted a pretty hilarious interview with that crazy Kazakhstani reporter Borat in promotion of his film BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF
KAZAKHSTAN . Being the unintentionally...
August 4, 2006: Borat trailer hits:
The name says it all: BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE
BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN . Actually, it doesn't quite say it all. It doesn't say that Borat wrestles naked with a rather corpulent fellow who
eventually places his...

The studio kindly asked us to remove this trailer from our site, so
we have done so, because we believe in world peace. Hopefully it
will show up online very soon. Sorry about the troubles....
June 1, 2006: CAN: Borat on beach:
My
experiences in Cannes sometimes seem to turn into the surreal, like
when Angelina Jolie literally bumped into me during my first year
there, and I ended up in the same airplane as Salma Hayek...

Perhaps you heard the news last week that Sacha Baron Cohen made an appearance in character as Borat from "Da Ali G Show" at a rodeo that ended in a near-riot after he mangled the "Star-Spangled Banner." That event was being filmed by for an upcoming feature...
