For various reasons, the last movie I saw in a theater was
the Loretta Lynn story, "Coal Miners Daughter". It was a very good movie and I enjoyed it.

When Barry and I heard about the Johnny Cash movie, "Walk The Line", we thought we would enjoy seeing it. I wouldn't think about going to a theater these days with my health problems.
But, thanks to modern technology, we recently viewed the
movie on Barry's wide screen T.V. with the sound from his stereo
speakers sending the dialogue and great music in his den.
I was comfortable in Barry's recliner and only needed to take two breaks although the film is over two hours long.

The acting in the movie is superb, bringing to life the lead characters, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, to the viewers. Joaquin Phoenix and Reece Witherspoon gave
outstanding performances. Witherspoon received the Oscar for her role and I felt Phoenix deserved one, too. Both of them did their own singing in the movie and I want to get the soundtrack as the music is so good.

I'm not qualified to be a film critic but I think we need more movies for mature audiences. (I am NOT talking about porn movies). I would like to see movies about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. But, I have read that most movies these days are made to appeal to teens, especially boys, who like the car chases, crashes and general destruction which I detest.
