The specter of his loss haunted each performance and lent them a funerary solemnity. Unfortunately, Chris Columbus?...
...life truths so simply that it is impossible to avoid falling under the story’s spell. Even their renditions of the songs are impressive; it’s almost impossible to differentiate Phoenix and Witherspoon’s versions from the originals.The film’s soundtrack is amazing, and you will be singing Johnny Cash songs for the next few days, much to the annoyance of roommates and neighbors. True, if the sound of country music makes you violently ill, you probably should steer clear, but if your dislike doesn’t verge on utter loathing...
