I am a movie fanatic. I watch movies on TV, at the cinema and I watch them over and over again. This is a way of logging the movies I watch and hopefully a down-to-earth critique of each, for people like me. In no particular order...although my favourite movie is first...

Walk the Line

YEAR 2005

DIRECTOR James Mangold

STARRING Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon and Ginnifer Goodwin

 WRITER Johnny Cash (book), Gill Dennis

OVERVIEW A chronicle of country music legend Johnny Cash's life, from his early days on an Arkansas cotton farm to his rise to fame with Sun Records in Memphis, where he recorded alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.

OPINION  Joaquin Phoenix is a genius. One of a handful of actors who manage to bring to life any part they undertake…the other four fingers include…Russell Crowe, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks,  John Travolta and Ryan Gosling.  If he is gone - then the arts have lost a wonderful artist.

RATING YYYYY
