Guess who's back... back again.
After Bruno failed to live up to the hype (or box office grosses) set by Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen has been lying low recently, alternating between voiceover work or supporting turns in ensemble movies like Martin Scorsese's Hugo. But with The Dictator, he's returning to center stage... albeit this time with more of a script. Directed by Larry Charles, The Dictator casts Cohen as General Aladeen, the militaristic despot who runs the fictional Middle Eastern nation of Wadiya with an iron grip. Coming to America to deliver a speech in front of the United Nations, Aladeen is kidnapped in the middle of the night by covert agents and is summarily stripped of his identity and his bushy beard. In his shorn state, Aladeen somehow befriends liberal vegan Zoey (Anna Faris) and, we assume, learns how to be a better person and/or dictator. We're not feeling hugely confident about this one to be honest, but it's entirely possible that the movie will be funnier than the early clips have indicated. Watch our Trailers Without Pity team critique the movie's trailer and prepare to be invaded by General Aladeen on May 16.

Like the Swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, you can aawlys bet that Nedd will be here to pile on the Gov. whenever an opportunity is afforded.Full comment to come, although I will note that it was sooooo nice of the Obama administration to shaft our kids over a missing page (that's who really loses in the end, isn't it).P.S. Looking at the Round 1 score, can anyone say that a Corzine administration, in cahoots with the NJEA, would have even come this close?? Just asking.
I am tlaolty , tlaolty disgusted with the behavior of our politicians in a way I never would have thought possible. Two godfathers.. Norcross and Adubato both unelected.. determining through their influence the outcome of important public issues such as health and pension reform. It is as if they carved up the state in half and sent our their minions our elected representatives..to do their bidding. This could read like a plot in a movie. In the meantime the millionaires are untouchable while the less than are essentially taxed to recover monies stolen by the state.If this state I call home is perceived as a Soprano one, it would be real hard to argue against it. As beautiful as it is, as sleazy are the people who run and govern it.
