Walk The Line with me

Gee whiz! Does Joaquim Phoenix sound like Johnny Cash in Walk The Line!
And here's another shocker... no one's phone started ringing during the show. So bravo bravo to the audience at the 1030 show on Sat at GV Plaza. And I must say, an especial bravo to one fella I saw rushing out of the theatre to answer his call, instead of blatantly answering it while seated. (Or maybe it was from his girlfriend, and he didn't want his date to hear)
While I didn't leave the theatre feeling absolutely wowed by this movie, it was very enjoyable. Reese Witherspoon, as usual, is very likeable, Joaquim Phoenix is always broodingly brilliant.
In a review, Roger Ebert said he had been convinced that it was the Man In Black himself singing - this was before it became common knowledge that Phoenix and Witherspoon did their own singing in the movie.
If you're not convinced, listen to Johnny Cash as the credits run. It's a dead ringer.

Yea that movie was awesome. I'm glad Hollywood is not mangling any biopics. Ray and Walk the Line - that's two!
