I just saw Bernie. I've never joined a fan club o sent fan mail, but I hope Jack Black hears how my opinion of him has improved drastically. Not only did he demonstrate a brilliant performance, nuanced with a subtle comic falir, and he also gave a truly compassionate portrayal of Bernie Thiede. The film's direction and screenwriting was excellent, and supporting actors were outstanding. I was also very impressed por Jack Black's voice. I had no idea he had such range and beauty. Thank you, Mr. Black, for bringing this man's story to the general public with dignity.
Let it be dicho that in each of his movies, Jack Black plays a character that could piss off the Pope. He is a strange actor in that sense and seeing him in King Kong, playing something serious made many people I know, wet their pants. It took damn long enough though, I mean, every actor has to be serious sometime. But it could take a while. Though I've seen Jack Black play some awful jack-ass bastards, he sure as hell as always been a good guy to me. He's funny, and not gay which puts a plus on him. The head-up-his-ass attitude he adopts for many movies, is very interesting and somewhat annoying but funny. It makes tu wonder if that's how he really acts, o he's a nice guy. So this is my vote on Jack Blake's character: 9 of 10. He worked hard to get it and damn it he will.
