After the screening inmate Gary Lopez, who has been incarcerated 11 years for attempted murder, said: "I've always been a fan of Johnny Cash."

Oh, we're so pleased you were able to be entertained.

Meanwhile, Phoenix, who some seem to forget had a US soldier-bahsing flick out awhile back, hasn't been seen entertaining the troops, that I know of.

Better him winning the OSCAR and GOLDEN GLOBE than Heath Ledger ( but knowing the Hollywood types and their not-so-hidden agenda, if I were to put my money, I'd bet on the later ).

To Phoenix's credit... Walk the Line was a brilliant movie.

[martin_fierro]

Wonder if he performed "A Boy Named River".

[katieanna]

I enjoyed the movie also, although, I think the makers could have broadened the film to portray more of his life than they did. Phoenix's portayal of Cash was brilliant.

let the homos have their oscars and golden boners... then hollywood will loose even more $$$.

Joaquin Phoenix, liberal democrat

So what?

[aft_lizard]

Bingo, so far as I can tell he isnt a flaming Liberal like so many in Hollywood are.

So I repeat what you said, So what?

[Hildy]

Which movie are you referring to?

[txzman]

Phoneix did an amazing job portraying Cash - a very well done movie in my opinion. Superb handling of so many famous people who were a part of Cash's life.

[Darkwolf377]

Buffalo Soldiers

[meowmeow]

Actually he did a fantastic job in that movie. Too bad he'll be beat by gay cowboys eating pudding.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

Buffalo Soldiers, I think... super anti-american movie about US Army troops in Germany

[Cecily]

Agreed. It is a great movie. Reese Witherspoon was excellent as June Carter Cash as well.

[napscoordinator]

Now what makes you say that? You know he has never given any reason to be a liberal. Democrat perhaps, but even that is unknown. The guy did a great movie and because of the movie did some charity work and once again the bashing begins. He is not over in Iraq bashing America, he is not in France buring the flag. Please tell me why another person is being criticized. This is a conservative post not a bash everyone post. If a person does deserve to be bashed than hey I am there, but if a person does not then why do it? BTW that movie was great and I hope it wins all the Oscars because all the other movies seem pretty awful.

[StoneColdGOP]

And even if he is a flaming liberal my answer is still SO WHAT? That doesn't keep me from paying to see and enjoying films he may be in.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

the joaquin donations to dennis kucinich is enough for me. If you guys want to pad the pockets of the hollywood liberals, go right ahead...

[StoneColdGOP]

Thank you, I will do so.
