Best Musical Biopic EVER! This movie made me want to listen to Cash's old stuff and I thank it for that every day. F*** the old Cash, because the young Cash was way cooler and made better music. Young Johnny Cash FOREVER! |

James Mangold has proved himself as a diverse director, tackling crime and corruption within the police force (Copland), angst and suicidal tendencies amongst a group of female patients of a mental institution (Girl, Interrupted), and a horror whodunit mystery located at an isolated motel (Identity). Now, Mangold offers up the biopic genre which has recently been showcased as a guaranteed Academy highlight.If ever there were a case of two performers taking over a film and making it their own this is it. Walk the Line is elevated by two of the most brilliant performances you could ever hope to see from Joaquin Phoenix as the legendary Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter, Cash's partner on stage and eventually offstage as well. The love Johnny Cash and June Carter had for one a... |

This is the true story of one of the most beloved acts and couples in Country music -- "The Man in Black" Johnny Cash and the love of his life, June Carter-Cash.
I have to admit, biographical movies are not my favorite types of films. I watched this just because it was on my Yahoo Movies recommendation list, and I have to say I was pretty impressed with it.
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are excellent as Johnny and June. Phoenix nails Johnny's mannerisms on stage, and starts to really look like "The Man in Black" as the movie progresses. Witherspoon was so good at her performance that she won the Oscar for Best Actress in this film.
You hear some of Johnny and June's biggest hits from early in their careers together and as solo artists. What should surprise you is that ... |

I walk the Line |

Ive never been a huge fan of Johnny Cash but Joaquin Pheonix made me care about the film. This was one of his better performances. Reese Witherspoon proved that she isn't going to be typecast in the dumb blonde roles. Overall it was a little dull but still entertaining for the most part. |
