The Bottom Line: I left the theater saying "That was an excellent movie!" The more I think about it, the better I like it.
The bottom line wants to see Walk the Line.

Review: It seems like for a while there are no movies that I’m really wanting to see and then all of a sudden there are more movies playing than I have time to get to take in. Today I asked my hubby if he wanted to go and see Walk the Line. I knew ...

Pros: The cast, the acting, the story, and the music!

Cons: Could have found a better Elvis...

The Bottom Line: This is a must see for any fan of music. Johnny Cash the man, the husband, dad, brother, the addict, song writer, singer, guitar player and the legend.

Pros: Tapped into my freaking soul. Beautiful. Emotional...Incredible acting. Joaquin Phoenix.

Cons: Focused a bit too heavily on a certain portion of Johnny Cash's life.

The Bottom Line: I keep a close watch on this heart of mine...

Review: I guess the main reason why I've never been a big movie-goer is the simple fact that, for the most part, movies don't GET to me as much as music does. Music has a strange way of tapping into my emotions and my moods . . . that's something that movies ...

Pros: Phoenix, Witherspoon, the music, the costumes.

Cons: The depth of the tale was insufficient. Was there not enough story for a film?

The Bottom Line: Probably a 4 rating, performance driven, and the music is amazing.

Pros: Joaquin Phoenix, chemistry between Phoenix and Witherspoon, the music, complex and layered

Cons: Witherspoon not quite as good as Phoenix, early duets aren't as strong as later ones

The Bottom Line: You don't need to be a fan of Johnny Cash or country music to like this movie

Review: If you lined up Joaquin Phoenix and a young Johnny Cash and asked me to pick the real man, I'm not sure I could. If you gave me a sound test, playing snippets of the same song by each I might very well pick Phoenix as the real deal. He plays Cash better ...

Pros: acting, story and directing

Cons: Nothing

The Bottom Line: This is a good portrayal of the life of Johnny Cash as well as being a finely crafted film.

Review: The critics were right for a change. This is a wonderful representation of the complex life of Johnny Cash. They have given a somewhat balanced insight to his life. Showing us the good and bad while leaving us connected to the main character. We feel ...

Cons: none come to mind

The Bottom Line: A great character study and sure to get academy award nominations

Review: That signature introduction is what I remembered most about seeing Johnny Cash when I was younger. It gave me chills to hear it after so many years. I had at least one of his albums, and clearly remember the song "Boy Named Sue". I saw Cash on many ...
