Bernie (2011)

• What's it about?: A mockumentary/docudrama going over the case of Bernie Tiede, a well liked nicest-man-in-town type guy in a Texas small town who gets in a relationship with a well hated meanest-lady-in-town type woman who eventually pushes him to the point of murdering her. Apparently based on  a true story.
• Thoughts: Fairly nice movie, Jack gives a good performance as this super nice guy you wouldn't think could hurt even a fly. Matthew McConaughey also gives a decent performance as the sheriff handling the case and not letting Bernie off the hook just because everyone likes him.
• Rating: 7/10
• Recommendation: Recommended
• Tier: B

• What's it about?: We follow Tim Robbins playing the titular Bob Roberts, a right wing folk singer/politician in his race for senate.
