I haven't paid much attention to McConaughey lately, but I did see Bernie and loved him in it. Where does that fit into his "renaissance"? (Beginning, Middle, End or Before any of that). His role really stole the show, I thought - even against Shirley McClain's character. And the fact that he took an actual person and plaid him both true to life and satirically was incredible.

Killer Joe sucked. I liked MM in The Lincoln Lawyer though.

I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately. The House I Live In, Brooklyn Castle, West of Memphis and The Gatekeepers were all very good.

Middle. Most people would date it to "The Lincoln Lawyer", which was kind of like a CBS pilot on the big screen, but at least it wasn't a romcom, and he was good in the role.

Saw "Bernie" on an airplane, enjoyed it immensely.

Every documentary on the West Memphis 3 I've seen has been absolutely fascinating.

Blackfish, the documentary about captive Orcas at SeaWorld, was just devastating.

I watched Mud last night and liked it a lot. Best movie I've seen in quite awhile.

This is a thing that more people should be saying.
