Now, however, the actor has been thrust into an entirely different sort of legal matter. Hes not filing a lawsuit against anybody. The new case, that will likely involve Depp in some capacity whether he likes it or not, is criminal, as somebody apparently broke into his house. Its being reported by TMZ that over the weekend a woma...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Whatever else he does, Sasha Baron Cohen will probably always be known best for his character Borat. The first movie starring Borat was a solid hit and the sequel that followed last year was seen to be as good, if not even better, by many fans and critics.

CinemaBlend There are many words one could use to describe a Borat movie, but "heartwarming" generally isnt one of them. These films are manic, insane romps as Sasha Baron Cohen usually spends the entire film messing with people. However, the recent Borat sequel actually contained one character that was truly a good person, and even co-star Maria Bakalova was touched by her, and since the films release she reached out because the woman now means so much to her.

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard In Hollywoods ongoing attempt to squeeze box office cash out of literally every brand name with an ounce of public recognition, weve seen some interesting film projects. Weve had movies based on Disney theme park rides. Weve seen movies based on board games. Weve even seen movies based on plastic blocks. Some of these movies have been pretty bad.

Some movies, like Mulan and Tenet, were only delayed by a couple months, in the hopes that theaters would be able to open quickly and they could be the first out of the gate.
