It is special day in U.S. and A.
Posted on October 13, 2009 by mcarteratthemovies
because today is the 38th birthday of none other than my very favorite professional teabagger – I mean chameleon! – er, actor — Sacha Baron Cohen! (The fact that it’s also the day Marie Osmond was born? Pay no attention to that. Besides, if we celebrate her birthday it might make her attempt to smile. Then her face will [...]

Reviews: “Bruno,” “I Love You, Beth Cooper”
Posted on July 14, 2009 by mcarteratthemovies
It’s rare in life to get exactly the innermost desires of your anxious little heart. So when it happens twice in one weekend, it’s hard to cough up the appropriate words to describe it. Lucky for me I came prepared to ward off this choked-up feeling. (Pops open bottle of Guaifenesin.) But enough with the jokes. There’s nothing [...]

It turns out “Bruno” might be (whispering) “offensive”
Posted on June 17, 2009 by mcarteratthemovies
Yep, it looks like “Bruno” is taking it up the tailpipe again. (I meant criticism, people. Kindly extract your minds from the gutter.) It seems that gay activists across America are worried the film dabbles in all-too-common stereotypes and may give people the wrong impression about the GLBT community, what its members stand for and, [...]

Bill’s dead, Raimi’s a Streisand and other news
Posted on June 4, 2009 by mcarteratthemovies
Some notable news in the world of movies: * Who killed Bill? – A slew of breaking news reports reveal that 72-year-old David Carradine, none other than Bill from Tarantino’s wildly popular “Kill Bill” films, was found dead in a hotel room in Bangkok.
