After the ill-judged scattershot "satire" of Borat (which hit far too many soft targets – ageing American feminists, for heaven's sake!) Sacha Baron Cohen raises his game somewhat with Brüno (2009, 18, Universal). Fired from his Eurotrash TV show Funkyzeit , the eponymous, gay Austrian fashionista goes west to become a "straight" star "like Tom Cruise". En...

We realized when looking through our newest issue of Russh that in all the talk over these many months about the widespread trend of pantslessness, and even the emerging "jock" fashions of S/S10, that one inspiration had been overlooked. Until now. Thank you Russh editors for remembering. And who might this trendsetter be? Jamie Lee Curtis in the awesome 1985 "drama", Perfect ....

The biggest reason that I went to see (Untitled) is Adam Goldberg. It's promoted as a satiric look at the avant-garde art world, it got mixed reviews, and it's only playing at the Angelika, one of my least favorite...

Know your Bill Murray from your Buster Keaton? This week, Pinkos smacks his lips and delivers a tray of bone-dry comic amuse-bouches for you to sample I like my comedy the way I like my sherry and my bathroom floor – dry. In fact, the greater the understatement, the finer the blend, the deader the pan, the more eagerly I lap it up. A straight-faced, down the line, mockumentary mickey take as...

What to do with those who can't read a poem? Write a poem? (Well, we'll save that joke for later --) Do we offer them bread? A threnody of platitudes? Watching people talk about Elizabeth Bishop, I can't help but think of Christopher Guest movies -- 'In the Waiting Room' shouldn't be this hard, nor mysterious -- "She's talking about pairs of hands -- why pairs of hands?

A lot of the amateur web series coming out right now are about actors trying to get a break in Hollywood — and are created by actors who are trying to get a break in Hollywood. But because most actors aren’t equipped with the same skill set as, say, a filmmaker, that shows in the [...]

Season 5 of The Office was somewhat of a marathon season. More storylines were played out this year than in the entire two-season run of the show’s British counterpart (to be fair that series was only 14 episodes and this season alone ran 26). This is definitely the season of lost love. Amongst all the hilarity of the usual office shenanigans, the first half of the season features some seriously...

This is going out the Goldman Sachs and their mind bogglingly stupid bonuses, who no doubt feel they work hard for the money! (Goldman Sachs can give out huge bonuses because of people who do work hard for the little money they do get. ) But enough about greedy bankers. I always felt Donna Summer never got [...]

Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project : 7.5 out of 10. Full disclosure: I've always loved Rickles. He's the best of the insult comics, and I love insult comics. Rickles is damn funny, and I love funny. Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project is a great little documentary by John Landis. You know you're going to have a good time when the doc opens with a Harry Dean Stanton singing "Old Blue". We...

Couples Retreat Starring Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman, and Malin Akerman Directed by Peter Billingsley Rated PG-13 What does it say about your scripted comedy when the funniest moments are clearly off-the cuff? The same does not hold true for the Christopher Guest mockumentaries, which famously and daringly rely on the improvisational skills of their actors rather than written dialogue,...
