Walk the Line

Con:  biopic of Johnny Cash with likely strong dramatic license
Pro: based on Johnny Cash's autobiographies
Con:  Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash?  Mrs. Man in Black was no evil monkey!
Pro:  Joaquin Phoenix  as Cash should be a pretty good idea.
Con:  What has co-writer Gill Dennis really done of notice since Return to Oz?
Pro:  Johnny Cash soundtrack
Con:  James Mangold has made some pretty bad movies after his strong debut and sophomore efforts (Girl, Interrupted; Identity; Kate & Leopold)

Expectation Key


there's no possible way we will even see this

we'll eventually see this but we aren't really expecting much

anticipating the release of this one but we're sure to be left unsatisfied

such high expectation of this film only leaves room for disappointment
