Jul 9 2009Movie Shows in Your Town This End-of-Week!
Some films open this weekend; here are some of them:
Brüno
Director: Larry Charles
Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen; oblivious fools, many of whom will be revealed as homophobes
Good if you want to see: further Borat-like exploits, this time with a flamboyant Austrian; what people will be quoting for the next few months.
I Love You, Beth Cooper
Director: Chris Columbus
Starring: Hayden Panettiere, Paul Rust
Good if you want to see: A high school nerd pining over a popular girl? I don't really remember, but I did hear that Heroes' much-talked-about nude scene is from behind, so don't go in looking for boobs.
Blood: The Last Vampire (limited)
Director: Chris Nahon
Starring: Gianna Jun, Allison Miller
Good if you want to see: Blade with an Asian girl.
Humpday (limited)
Director: Lynn Shelton
Starring: Mark Duplass, Joshua Leonard
Good if you want to see: heterosexual best friends attempt to make a gay porn together; the "bromance" genre reach its logical conclusion.

On the one hand Bruno isn't as good as Borat (according to Rotten Tomatoes), but at least I don't think the character will be driven as far into the ground. I think most heterosexual males are a little too self conscious to quote some of the funnier lines with a lisp and emulate the gay manuerisms. We should have way fewer annoying Bruno impressions than annoying Borat impressions.
