Okay, I'm not doing a movie review, but I will tell you that this movie is excellent...

I went into it with the knowledge that Phoenix was probably going to be up for the Best Actor Academy Award, and I would whole-heartedly agree with that. He sounds like Johnny Cash, he acts like Johnny Cash (on stage), and he miraculously sings like Johnny Cash (and it's all him)...

But he doesn't steal the show...Reese Witherspoon does...her performance as June Carter (Cash) was just as good or better than Phoenix's portrayal of Cash. From what I hear, she doesn't sound like Carter, but she does do her own vocals, and does a really nice job of it.

So, i'm not sure if the movie, being just your typical bio-pic, will get an Oscar for Best Film, but its stars should at this point be the front runners for Best Actor and Actress...

I want to go see this, but I can't find anyone to go with me. I might just have to go by myself.

I just can't get into a movie about Johnny Cash.

Props to Phoenix and Reese if their performances are that good, though.

I had asked a couple young women(what would 21-24 year olds be called? If feels weird calling them girls, chicks, women, etc. It's like a weird middle ground where nothing fits.) I know if they wanted to see it, but they seemed to take Cav's approach. Monkey had commented the other week on catching up and going to see it since we hadn't hung out in quite a while, but I have a gut feeling that won't be happening :P

*AHEM*

I really liked this movie.. and mind you I am a Nirvana loving, ACDC worshipping chick. And I made my boyfriend buy me a country c.d. He almost died of shock. O.K. I didnt make him, he wanted to.

But it was AMAZING and so were Witherspoon, and Pheonix.

If they do not get a golden globe, they are being robbed.
