  • Borat Subsequent Moviefilm – Review

    “BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM” With cinemas shutting down again it’s definitely going to be a case that we’ll be watching all our movies on streaming services, which is why it’s slightly comforting to know that the latest Borat film went directly to Amazon Prime, though I suspect a planned cinema release was on the cards. The…
