Walk The Line: Another biography of a famous singer/song writer…..this time it’s Johnny Cash. Cash is played excellently by Joaquin Phoenix, but even more impressive is the job Reese Witherspoon does playing June Carter (show stealing)! Not only do both give great acting performances, but they sing all the vocals in the movie – outstanding job!!!! The story is also a notch above most movies dealing with musicians in that the moral of it can relate to almost everyone. We start out with Johnny Cash as a young kid and some of the heartbreak he and his family went through. The story follows Cash through his time in the service and on to the beginning of his career. He soon meets June Carter and a special kind of relationship begins. Cash’s early career was not without trouble, but he was given a second chance - something he feels everyone should be entitled to. This is a great movie for all!
