Advantages: An engaging, touching story and exceptional performances Disadvantages: Very little
"Walk the Line" chronicles the early years of legendary Country singer Johnny Cash from his childhood days, through to his rise to fame as a singer, his romance with June Carter, his decline into drug addiction and culminating in the now legendary concert at Folsom Prison in 1968.
There is nothing I enjoy more than a really good biopic, one which entertains, educates and excites you whenever you watch it. For me "Walk the Line" fits that scenario perfectly, leaving me fully entertained once the film has finished, in fact despite its 124 minute duration it leaves me wanting more. What also makes this film so enjoyable is that whilst it sounds like a pretty stock storyline it is made all that more special because it is also an amazing true love story.
As is often the case with biopics we get a look at the life of Johnny Cash from ...

Advantages: Great, oscar winning movie, great singing! Disadvantages: None
This was a really great movie and one you should definitely see. It is about the life of Johnny Cash, the famed American country singer. Johnny Cash is played by Joaquin Phoenix and June Carter (his eventual wife) is played by Reece Witherspoon.
I did not know anything about Johnny Cash before I saw this and even if you aren't a fan of his music that will not put you off the film. It chronicals his early life as a child (briefly) before he became famous and then his well publicised battles with drugs.

It has Dolby digital sound and has main ...

Advantages: Heartwarming, compelling, fantastic soundtrack Disadvantages: If you hate country music then it's not for you!
throughout the film that brought a tear to my eye (ok, ok, I was blubbing!!!) but the music was spirited and vivacious and kept me entertained throughout.
The only thing I would say is that if you are not a lover of country music then you may not enjoy this film as that is primarily what Johnny Cash is about.
Running Time: 136 minutes
This film has been classified as 12 and think it would be ok for anyone above that age to watch although there is a small reference to drugs.
You can buy this in most dvd shops for about £12.99 but it is also available on Amazon from £5.99 and on Ebay for as little as £4.00. ...
