Walk The Line (2005)


































  A biographic dramatization about the life and deeds of the famous country legend Johnny Cash. Emphasizing on his everlasting love for June Carter, the film takes us on a trip into the mind of an iconic musician and tries to shine a light on his troubled life...
  James Mangold takes on a giant responsibility, that of making a film about the most badass motherfucker country music ever produced. Starting poor and sad, he went on equally poor and sad and created some of the world's most touching tunes. The film respects its character and keeps a good pace along the steps of Cash, showing his rough start, his addiction and the love that ruined and gave meaning to his life.
  Joaquin Phoenix is simply amazing in his performance as Johnny Cash. You can see that he really did study his part before stepping into his giant shoes. His movement and body language really step into the groove and together with Reese Witherspoon they make a fantastic duo. She is also doing some great work as you can see the fire and nerve-racking set of emotions when she looks into Phoenix's eyes! Cinema at its best!
Must watch this : on a hot summer afternoon, sitting on the porch (if you got one) and sipping down smooth iced tea. After the film, get in your hotrod, tune in some shit like that and drive on!

Monster Beach Party A-Go-Go (2009)


































  An all-girl rock band, The Violas, encounter some van trouble on their way to a show. Stuck in a small beach community with no money until the mechanic fixes the issue, they agree to play for his annual beach party. What they do not know is that there are some strange stuff goin' on there...
  Jay Edwards directs this comedy/parody/50's reminiscing film. 50 years ago this story would have been an instant classic, with its rock n' roll, the female power and the cheap monsters and all! In our days ,though , it is downright pathetically hilarious. But that will not be a problem to the trained underground lover. What this movie lacks in its authenticity, it pays out in great costumes and sets and feel-good mood.
  Acting may seem strange and bad here but that is not the case. Successfully or not, the actors have tried to portray their characters the way 50's actors would have, with all the cheesiness and American poise. So, they are actors playing 50's actors playing their roles! You get some extra cheerful and twisty rock n' roll to seal the deal, too!
Must watch this: on a hot summer day, when you have nothing to do and you don't plan on doing much either. Put this on, pour yourself some top-notch milkshake and let the waves take you to monster island.
