Sacha Baron Cohen, best known as a certain Kazakh journalist named Borat, is currently filming his latest movie, Bruno. It's a mockumentary about a gay Austrian TV presenter.

The crew had permission from the Witchita airport to film a scene on March 18 based on a "European man" visiting America. However, problems arose when security workers were alerted abotu men dancing in tight short shorts, kissing and fighting in the lobby.

Later on, Cohen's film crew also reportedly stirred up chaos at a Kansas church by entering as an assumed European documentary crew, but then attempted to become part of a parish play.

Needless to say, we can't wait for Bruno.

How cool would this be?!?

The original James Bond, Sean Connery, is actually quoted by Ace Showbiz as saying that he'd be willing to portray the villain in Quantum of Solace.

"I wouldn't mind coming back as a Bond villain. But I don't think they would pay me enough. They don't pay the money for other parts, only for the Bond character, although that wasn't the case when I was doing it."

Wow. Bitter much, Mr. Connery?

The aforementioned movie sites goes on to say that Connery has been contacted about the role:

"Allegedly, the 77-year-old Academy Award-winning actor has been involved in negotiations to land a villain role with the film's producers since Daniel Craig has been tapped to bring Ian Fleming's agent back to the big screen with Casino Royale."

What do you think? Would Sean Connery make a good James Bond villain in Quantum of Solace?

What did the critics think of this crime caper starring Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, and Laurence Fishburne?

Inspired by the real-life story of the M.I.T. students who took Las Vegas casinos for millions, 21 has been reshaped to fit a simple movie template -- and it's nearly as much fun as watching an insurance professional compute actuarial tables. -- Chicago Sun-Times

The fascinating story of six college students who took Las Vegas for millions gets dealt a bad hand in 21, which turns their true-life saga into a slick, shallow and thoroughly generic caper flick. -- New York Post

This is really Spacey's picture, from the moment he fixes his gaze on Sturgess to the day when he finally, brutally cuts him loose. It's a fun performance, but a quiet one. -- Newark Star-Ledger

When Spacey and Fishburne really go at each other, 21 finally starts to add up to something. -- Toronto Star

Stop Loss is a story about a Sgt. Brandon King's return from the Iraq war.  As he attempts to readjust to life after war, the army tries to bring him back via the United States military's Stop Loss policy.

What did the critics think of this war movie?

In some ways, there is a grim, accidental timeliness in the release of Stop-Loss, which focuses on the ordeal of American soldiers in and out of combat -- New York Times

It's a remarkably entertaining movie, thanks in part to a first-rate cast and a director who knows you can't make a point without calling everyone to attention. -- Washington Post

A wildly uneven drama, by turns sincere and synthetic. -- Variety

Even when the script slips into sentiment, [director] Peirce sticks with her troubled, questing soldiers, and through this raw and riveting movie, they stick with us. -- Rolling Stone
