Weekends

Tagged Bryan to Chinablack on Friday night as i've got no other plans for that night. We was on the guest list and there is no need for queing which is great, and we don't have to pay for the cover fee which is the greatest deal of all.

We had around 10+ people, and i'm the only girl! Haha. Managed to make friends with a few of them. I spend most of the time sitting and watching people played pool, did drank quite abit.

A SHIOK thing that happened to me that night was a girl, whom was slightly on the plump side kinda lost her balance and her heel just stepped nicely on my toes. For that moment, i thought that toe was not a part of me anymore.

Fion joined us later in the night and sent us back home. Thanks girl! :)

Was over at town with Angel and Michelle today. Caught the movie, Walk the Line at Cineleisure. I like the movie! I think its a pretty cool movie, with lots of singing!

Primarily the story of the love that grew between country stars Johnny Cash and June Carter during the early years of Cash's career, WALK THE LINE is the result of intense collaboration between director James Mangold, co-writer Gill Dennis, Johnny Cash, and June Carter Cash.

Though both Cashes died in 2003, they oversaw the script’s development for seven years. Mangold and Cash’s insistence that the film’s stars would actually sing paid off.

Witherspoon’s singing (as June) is lovely, and Phoenix’s contains the raw energy and soul that defined Cash’s sound. Even as a child on a cotton farm in Depression-era Arkansas, Cash shows a strong interest in music, escaping from his no-frills life and strict father (Robert Patrick) through hymns and listening to the radio.

When his brother dies in a freak accident, young Johnny feels responsible, and worries that he will never live up to his brother’s goodness. The film follows Cash through his first marriage with Vivian Cash (Ginnifer Goodwin) and into the early stages of his touring career alongside such musicians as Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, and most importantly, June Carter.

As Cash’s success grows, so does his relationship with drugs, alcohol, and Carter, putting a strain upon his family life. From his initial audition with Sam Phillips of Sun Records on through his legendary 1968 concert at Folsom Prison, Cash is transformed from a hesitant singer riddled with demons to a man whose uniquely bold style would make music history.

WALK THE LINE never attempts to paint a full picture of Cash's prolific career, but instead focuses on the passions that drove his music and on the woman who gave him strength. With magical performances by Witherspoon and Phoenix, a haunting and inspiring American romance is brought beautifully to life.

Chilled over at Mos Burger after the movie and Home Sweet Home!
