I haven’t seen him in too much but he was good in Bernie. I’m looking forward to seeing him in Mud this year.
Nostra says:
I wished his role in Bernie was bigger as he was playing an interesting character. I am curious what he will do with his role in Mud.
Paula says:
Great job with this, as always. Those last couple of pictures are pretty scary, he has indeed lost a ton of weight. Agree that he was good in BERNIE but my favorite role of his will probably always be the Sheriff Buddy Deeds in LONE STAR.
Nostra says:
Thanks Paula. Yeah, that’s a very different look. Have not seen Lone Star.
Jaina says:
You know, I’m slightly ashamed to admit it, but I kinda liked him in Sahara! It was a fun film!
Last year’s Killer Joe really impressed me. Looking forward to seeing him in Mud and also Lincoln Lawyer – got it recorded and waiting to be seen.
Nostra says:
Sahara was a fun movie, although I can’t remember much about it anymore.
Killer Joe really showed him differently. I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy Lincoln Lawyer.
Emil says:
Killer Joe for sure. Everyone in that movie was great, but he knocked it out of the park. Superb.
Nostra says:
Have to agree with you on that Emil.
ruth says:
McConaughey’s the kind of guy that despite his good looks I just don’t find attractive at all. I quite like him in The Wedding Planner, yes I know it’s a rom-com but for some reason it was pretty sweet. He’s good in The Lincoln Lawyer, too.
Nostra says:
But besides his looks, what do you think of him as an actor?
Steph says:
Great post! I’d have to say Killer Joe was my favorite too. I also thought he was terrific in Bernie, and I liked The Lincoln Lawyer.
Nostra says:
Thanks Steph! I agree with those choices.

Hi, Nostra and company:
Matthew McConaughey started getting my attention as Denton Van Zan in ‘Reign of Fire’, because I didn’t recognize him until well into the film.
Showed great potential as a close to tough guy in ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’. And is just starting to branch out and make his marks in ‘Frailty’ and ‘Killer Joe’.
Nostra says:
Hi Jack. That was a very different role (and look) and I liked him in that. I think his current movie selections are a lot more interesting roles.
Eric says:
It’s great to see McConaughey having a resurgence of sorts. My favorite role is still Wooderson, but I would put Killer Joe a close second now.
Nostra says:
Yeah, he seems to be having one indeed. Have not seen Wooderson, but did check out Killer Joe where he managed to impress.
Chris @ filmhipster says:
Killer Joe…epic role for him.
Nostra says:
Yeah, he was outstanding!
