Temple Grandin (2010)

I recall this winning a lot of awards, yet still not wanting to watch it because it looked like a Lifetime special. I’m glad I finally got around to seeing it. Temple Grandin is an autistic woman in real life, and this film tells her story. Claire Danes is amazing in the roll, as she is with all her onscreen performances. Definitely worth seeing.

Rating: C+

Bernie (2011)

A custom made role in a quirky indie film to show off Jack Black’s wide array of talents. A nice change of pace after several dozen crap-heaps he’s starred in. Based on a crazy real life story. If you are a fan of director Linklater's earlier films, and you should be, then you will certainly enjoy this new character piece.

Rating: B-
