I went into this movie not really sure what to expect, thinking I'd get up to get my refreshments if it was boring...not a chance; I was glued to my seat for the entire 2 hours and 15 minutes. Superb acting... Full review

Walk the lime is truly a gem. It is a great life story of a guy I honestly had no major interest in. It starred to great actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon as Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash. It was... Full review

I cannot argue with the superb acting (and singing!) in this film, and, of course, the soundtrack is first rate. But the story seemed to revolve around Johnny's quest to get the girl he wanted, through trials with extra-marital flings, drug... Full review

Good movie. ... Full Review

In retrospect, it seems obvious why Reese Witherspoon won the acting Oscar for Walk the Line , as she's really the one who props the film up. Recently I reviewed Pride of the Yankees , and despite standing on the legs of a sports biopic, the main story in that movie was the romance between Lou Gehrig and his wife, and so too is Walk the Line not really a story about a musician's rise to fame but instead is a drama of a great love affair. ...
