Okay, here's where things get a little outrageous. If any of you have ever seen Borat, then you are already familiar with Sacha Baron Cohen. He is at it again in his new movie 'Bruno' where he plays the role of a gay Austrian fashion reporter. The plot behind this movie is similar yet different than Borat. It is similar in that it is filmed with the same "candid camera" style, but different in that his role in the film is clear.....it is to make heterosexual men uncomfortable on camera. Very uncomfortable.

Here's the one many of you have been waiting for. The new Harry Potter is coming to the big screen July 17th. 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' starring Daniel Radcliffe is the 6th of the series. Will this be the big showdown between Harry and Voldemort?

Hey ladies! Brad Pitt is coming to a box office near you on August 21st. I'm sorry to break the news, this is no weepy love story where Brad chases his long lost love across the four corners of the Earth. 'Inglorious Basterds' takes place in Europe during WWII. This is a tale of Jewish-American soldiers trying to escape the Nazis and also the tale of a young Jewish woman seeking retribution for the loss of her mother and father. This film was directed by Quentin Tarantino.

The last movie on the list for 2009 appears to be excellent. 'The Informant' starring Matt Damon will be coming to a theater near you on September 18th. Matt has really gained some weight for his role in this film as an overweight corporate-whistle blower. Is Matt Damon really a good guy or is he just ratting to save his own skin? Find out this September.

See you next time!
