Bernie
Directed by Richard Linklater
Starring Jack Black, Shirley McLaine, Matthew McConaughey
Rating: B
This is an entertaining and amusing movie. It is also a lighthearted poke at the people of Texas and small towns in general. Jack Black is nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance as a funeral director's assistant. The nod is well deserved as Black portrays the truly good hearted Bernie so well as he lives through joys and anguish. However, I do not see Black getting the nomination for an Oscar; this is not the type of movie that generally gets noticed for such a thing, especially since it is classified as a comedy or musical. Still, it is an enjoyable movie.
