I Walk The Line - The Movie

I saw the movie last night and really enjoyed it. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are both great and yes they both do their own singing. Witherspoon has the better voice and in some ways she has the better part because June was a more upbeat and bright personality, plus it is very hard to fill the shoes of Johnny Cash. I can't imagine anyone could have done it better than Phoenix though. They probably will both be nominated for Academy Awards.

Naturally after you see this film you think of the recent Ray Charles movie and I think Ray is a little better movie but not much. The really interesting thing are a couple of the parallels that run between these two men which you will find out about when you have seen both of the films.

Now when is someone going to make a Bob Marley film? He was even more of a long shot to make a huge splash in the music world and become known all over the planet and his story is perfect to be captured on the screen. At one point I believe Ron Shelton was doing research on a movie about Bob a few years ago I wonder what happened?
