Whether he’s a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashion reporter, or an anti-Semitic Kazakhstani, or a wannabe rapper, Sacha Baron Cohen is consistently controversial. Baron Cohen has a habit of satirizing stereotypes . A trademark of his humor is to interview unsuspecting people in disguise as his characters. In the case of his film, Brüno, some critics suggested this sardonic take on gay culture was not simply a spoof, but was insulting in nature. Love him or hate him, either way you definitely have an opinion. In this video, WatchMojo.com learns more about the man behind the characters: Sacha Baron Cohen.

A generation began in his backyard….  From Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), comes Taking Woodstock, a new comedy inspired by the true story of Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin) and his family, who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the famed Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the happening that it was.

It’s 1969, and Elliot Tiber, a down-on-his-luck interior designer in Greenwich Village, New York, has to move back upstate to help his parents run their dilapidated Catskills motel, The El Monaco. The bank’s about to foreclose; his father wants to burn the place down, but hasn’t paid the insurance; and Elliot is still figuring how to come out to his parents.

When Elliot hears that a neighboring town has pulled the permit on a hippie music festival, he calls the producers, thinking he could drum up some much-needed business for the motel.   Three weeks later, half a million people are on their way to his neighbor’s farm in White Lake, NY, and Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and American culture, forever.

Director: Ang Lee (“Brokeback Mountain,” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”)

Writers: Screenplay by James Schamus; Based on the book by Elliot Tiber with Tom Monte

Cast: Demetri Martin, Imelda Staunton, Henry Goodman, Jonathan Groff, Emile Hirsch, Eugene Levy

What happens when we cross the fantasy life of celebrity with the harshness of reality?  Is the action star still a hero, or just an ordinary man dealing with life’s daily struggles?  JCVD, the newest release from Peace Arch and brought to the screen by Gaumont, Samsa Film, Artemis Productions, and RTBF hits theatres in a limited release on November 7th.

Following the success of his first feature film, Mabrouk El Mechri (Virgil) presents the paradox of celebrity and reality through a story inspired by the life of action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme.  Starring himself, JCVD tells the story of a fallen action hero through opposing points of view.  When he is held hostage in a bank robbery and the myth of his celebrity collides with the unpredictable nature of reality, can the man measure up to his legend?

This unique perspective on the false relationship between a celebrity and the public is explored in a story that combines reality with fantasy and comedy with drama, all in the exciting, gripping genre of hostage/cop films. Check out the Trailer:

This is a much better trailer than the first “teaser” that was released a few weeks ago:

Synopsis: In just a few short years, The Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.

Director: George Tillman Jr.
Cast: Angela Bassett, Derek Luke, Antonique Smith, Naturi Naughton, Dennis White
