The Strange Case of Sacha Baron Cohen

For Deadspin, I wrote a little something about Sacha Baron Cohen. The way I see it, he's in a very unenviable point in his career. Yes, he's still popular, but with the release of The Dictator imminent, he's come to a place where his shtick is starting to feel familiar. That can't be easy. Here's my article.

'The Dictator' Review

For months, I've been dreading The Dictator. This is somewhat surprising considering how much I loved Borat, which was only six years ago. So, I'm happy to report that Sacha Baron Cohen's new film is pretty consistently funny. Not great, but consistently funny. My review is up at Screen International.
