than any other website! Ebertfest 2008: Romance, Cigarettes and the Hulk? DVD Reviews for 4/18: "Slowly I Turn. My mother and her parents like country music, unlike most of the kids I knew in the Maine suburb where I grew up. Because of this, I tended to dismiss whole swaths of music as boring, because I was a kid and this was stuff old people listened too. Cash, as this movie will tell you, grew up a dirt-poor sharecropper in the deep South, put in some time in the Air Force, married his high-school sweetheart (Ginnifer Goodwin), then moved to...more

Review from ./hoopla.nu
James Mangold's Walk the Line wisely chooses to focus only on a short portion of Johnny Cash's life. All the predictable musician biopic moments here: the repercussions of a childhood tragedy likely to stay with our lead character for the majority of the film, we witness those tentative first performances, and we see some of the songs we've all come to love being written - but thankfully these are kept to a minimum. This 'unconventional' love story (for Hollywood, that is, not real life) is rather staccato in rhythm and seemingly heading for disaster at every turn. Joaquin Phoenix (The Village)...more

Review from imdb
Johnny would be proud.
Johnny would be proud.
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
I've seen a lot of singer biopics: all the way from the Buddy Holly Story to Coal Miner's Daughter. This one can't quite make it to Coal Miner, but it's light years ahead of Buddy. I read a review today that said that Joaquin was too short and Reese was too pretty to play Johnny and June. The reviewer was right, but what the hell does that have to do with great acting. They got it right and this old hillbilly cried, that's right--cried--at every historical landmark they hit. Oscars for...more

The Academy Awards are coming up soon. What's your choice for Best Picture? Music legend Johnny Cash is the only artist to be inducted into the Country Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. He is almost certainly the only entertainer nearly disemboweled by an ostrich. And he is also the only person ever to be sued by the federal government for starting a forest fire. , the terrific new film chronicling the first half of Cash's life and career, does not mention the ostrich or forest fire incidents.

HOTTER THAN A PEPPER SPROUT: Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon deliver star power, if not the essence of their characters, in Walk The Line. in the new Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line, where Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) sits onstage the morning after an all-nighter. Slouching nearby, equally amphetamine-jangled, are his Sun Records tour mates�Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. It�s the Million Dollar Quartet sloshed on $10 of beer. Broken bottles lie at their feet as they pick and sing a raunchy blues number. Striding down the theater�s empty aisle is another tour mate, June Carter (Reese Witherspoon), looking...more

Review from filmblather.com
Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Ginnifer Goodwin, Robert Patrick, Dallas Roberts. Directed by James Mangold. Rated PG-13. Surely at this rate they are going to run out of people to profile in award-contending biopics. There's one every year -- pedigreed, important, with Oscar money behind it. Walk the Line, James Mangold's attempt at distilling the life of Johnny Cash, fits right into the mould of Ray, A Beautiful Mind, The Aviator, and the like. Like all but the best entries into the genre, Walk the Line reduces Johnny Cash to a set of capital-I Issues -- in this case, his...more

Review from filmcritic
You've got to give the filmmakers of Walk the Line a lot of credit, as they're about to take a lot of guff after this film debuts. I mean, how do you create a feature film that captures the story of a man as big and full and complex as Johnny Cash? That's the question that every Cash fan and country music enthusiast has been asking ever since this project kicked off in the late '90s. The truth is that no film, book, or TV mini-series can really present the entirety of the giant that is Johnny Cash. So instead, ...more

Review from filmjerk.com
Coming right after the huge success of last year�s �Ray,� �Walk the Line� feels like day old bread. Dramatizing the life and times of Johnny Cash is a daunting task, and when director James Mangold keeps stars Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon on stage, the results are electric. Finding the trauma in his life whisked away by the power of song, Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) commits his early years to understanding how music works, and looking for his big break. After marrying young (Vivian Cash is played by Ginnifer Goodwin), Cash soon takes to the road, touring along with Elvis, Jerry...more

02. 04. Noch vor seinem 30. Lebensjahr schrieb Johnny Cash Musikgeschichte. Sein Privatleben ist hingegen geprägt von Tragödien und Rückschlagen, da er nach dem Tod seines Bruders vom Vater missachtet wird und seine erste Ehe gegen die Wand fährt. Ein gutes, wenn auch nicht überragendes Bio-Pic über das Leben des amerikanischen Countrysängers Johnny Cash. Der Film hat zwar tolle Schauspieler zu bieten, die ihre Rollen auch wunderbar ausfüllen, sein kleines Manko ist aber die Story. Diese weist doch einige Längen auf. Nach dem sensationellen Auftritt von Jamie Foxx als Ray Charles liegt die Messlatte für diese Art von Film fast...more

Review from ./reel.com
Walk the Line is a superbly acted, generally enjoyable but conventional biopic that, with less starry leads, could have just as well been made for, say, TNT. In fact, two hours, including commercials, would've been plenty of time to tell this by-the-numbers tale of music legend Johnny Cash. Inflated to a dangerously long 136 minutes, writer/director James Mangold (Girl, Interrupted; Identity) goes a bit epic on us and overtells a life story (actually, half a life story) that, at this point in movie history, is no longer that fascinating or unique. It's proficiently crafted and stirring in more than a...more

Review from rollingstone.com
There is something really special going on in Walk the Line, but get this around your head before you see it. The movie isn't about the life of Johnny Cash, it's about the love in the life of Johnny Cash. That grand passion settled most famously on music and on singer June Carter. Credit director James Mangold (Girl Interrupted, Identity) for plugging in two live wires: Joaquin Phoenix as the Man in Black and Reese Witherspoon as the frisky entertainer he performed with and mooned over for ten years before she agreed to marry him. Walk the Line hits all the...more

Review from themovieboy.com
quot;Walk the Line," based upon two autobiographies by the late Johnny Cash, is the third high-profile music biopic in just over a year, and the best of the lot. That may be faint praise, since none of them (the other two were 2004's Ray Charles drama, "Ray," and 2004's Bobby Darin flick, "Beyond the Sea") have exactly stood out from the crowd in regard to storytelling innovation, but director James Mangold (2003's "Identity") works through this hurdle by centering the film around the love story between Cash and peppy fellow singer/tour buddy June Carter (Reese Witherspoon).
