Don’t Breathe Review [SXSW 2016]

Don't Breathe is a punch to the face by everything you deem tense and thrilling. An adrenaline shot of genre-bending ferocity, if you will.

Exclusive Interview: Sacha Baron Cohen Talks The Brothers Grimsby, Censorship, And Mark Strong

Originally, my interview with The Brothers Grimsby star Sacha Baron Cohen was supposed to be a little a lot different. Press were told that Cohen would be in-character as "Nobby" Butcher, and that he'd be positioned in a bed, alongside a model (rumored to be plus-sized). This was the interview I prepared for, as I horrifyingly imagined going toe-to-toe with one of the most fearless comedians of our time. All I knew was that'd I'd enter, offer a 16 oz. tallboy of whatever piss-water I purchased on the way over, and see where the beer-swilling got me.
