Like a nice long stroll in the country, Walk the Line is stimulating and appealing, although by the end you won’t be able to get that song “Ring of Fire” out of your head.
So Johnny Cash might feel like a bit of a dinosaur in a world dominated by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, but nonetheless there is still an appeal in the life story of a man who beat the odds of a poverty-stricken childhood to perform with many of the greatest (Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison impressive enough for you?) and who penned some of the most memorable country tunes of all time.

Kick back and put your feet up with In Her Shoes, a movie about everything girly: Sisters, men and shoes.
