(12A, 136 mins) Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Shelby Lynne. Directed by James Mangold and Tyler Hilton.

Already mooted as a major contender for this year's Oscars battle and quickly eating up acclaim around the world like an award-laden bush fire, Walk The Line is quite simply the first must-see movie of 2006.

A biopic of the baddest boy country music ever had, it tells of the early life of Johnny Cash and his battles with depression, the bottle and his redemption which came in the form of the angelic June Carter.

Featuring stunning performances from Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon (pictured) as the love-lorn crooners, Walk The Line warmly welcomes back the Man In Black.
