Review of Bernie (2012) by Tim S — 26 Dec 2012

While I would love to see Jack Black land an Oscar nomination for his work here, I don't see him working his way into 2012's loaded competition, but that shouldn't diminish the work he does in "Bernie".

This is his best role to date and it makes you wish he could find one vehicle of this caliber per year to showcase his talents. Shirley MacLaine is also wonderful, as is Linklater's pseudo-doc style and the darkly comic script.

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this movie and the interviews with the locals are priceless.
