School of Rock... rocks.

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2013)

i didn't want to see this film, it looked as though it would be too formulaic. Well... on that score, there's not much of an argument that it was. But what brought this little film way up my chart could be summed up in one name: Jack Black. In many ways, he reminds me of John Belushi, and I say that in the most respectful and complimentary way. Belushi always gave 110% of himself in everything he did. Black is from the same mold. His absolute sincerity and "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" delivery in this movie was to be admired... and watched. He took a rather pedestrian script to a whole different level, and we're all the luckier for it. JACK BLACK ROCKS!!!
