"Walk the Line"

Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon let it burn, burn, burn -- and do their own singing! -- in this inspiring Johnny Cash biopic.

    Just saw it

    I was hesistant about seeing this movie. I am a Cash fan. The previews gave me the impression that Phoenix was doing a caricature of Johnny Cash.

    I couldn't have been more wrong.

    This was an amazing movie.

    It begins slow. The music of Johnny Cash is fed to us in bits, but as the movie progresses we get more and more.

    Just one of those movies that grab you and hold you throughout.
