Oscars..Oscars...Come and Get the Oscars

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2006)

AMAZING performances by Joaquin and Reese. No, Phoenix didn't sound exactly like Johnny Cash but his mannerisms nailed him perfectly. That sullen look with the bowed lip. How he used to hunch-one shoulder higher than the other. Stone faced.
About Reese Witherspoon, heavens to betsy, she was as good as last year's Best Actress, Hillary Swank. Indeed, Reese stole the picture as June Carter who became June Carter Cash. Anyone with musical history savvy knows John lived for her and proved it by dying just four months after she did. Reese's performance was something up there with the term "marvelous." WHAT A TALENT.
The movie was totally enjoyable. Not a boring moment experienced. Well worth your time and money. A perfect blend of a great true love story mixed with both the expected and unexpected. A treat for the ears and eyes with a tug at the heart as well. Simply said-A DON'T MISS FLICK!
