Movie Night Cap: Shirley McClaine And Jack Black Star in "Bernie"

    If you want to watch a movie that will make you laugh, cry, and say "oh my!," all at the same time, Bernie is what you are looking for. This dark comedy is based on a true story of flamboyant Texas mortician named Bernie Tied who befriends aging widower Marjorie Nugent (Shirley McClaine). As their relationship progresses, Nugent becomes more and more possessive, and this causes Tiede to eventually murder her and keep her in a freezer for month's on end.
   
    While the movie may seem sad in its description, it's anything but. The whole thing is littered with commentary of the people of Carthage, Texas, (both real and portrayed by actors) who have a lot of funny things to say about both Bernie Tiede and Marjorie Nugent. It will have you falling out of your seat in laughter, and it will have you wanting to watch it over and over again. It may be dark, but it will bring light to your day with its funny antics and hilarious portrayal of an extremely dark topic. So cap off your night by watching "Bernie" or catch it on a time when you are feeling blue. It is sure to please, and I guarantee you will love it. Here's the trailer to get you started. Enjoy!
