  • Walk the Line

    Walk the Line, the movie about the life of Johnny Cash, was one that I admittedly was not that into when we decided to watch it the other night. Because of that, I did not pay too much attention in the beginning. However, as the movie went on, I got more and more interested.

    From what I understand, the movie is pretty accurate, and well done. Joaquin Phoenix, who played Cash, did a great job at portraying him on the screen, as well as singing his songs. Reese Witherspoon was also great- her best roll, I would say, since American Psycho. She not only proved that she is a talented actress, but also a talented singer, singing June Carter’s songs, as well as “Jackson”, a duet done by Cash and Carter.

    The movie seemed to do a good job of portraying not all of the good or all of the bad of Johnny’s life, but a good mix and solid story. This is one movie I highly recommend picking up. Later

  • [Scrubs]

    I have been meaning to write this post for a while. A couple of weeks ago, my friend got my into Scrubs, a show on NBC about residents at a hospital and the angst they have about being doctors. The main character is John Dorian (J.D.), who starts off an as intern and is currently an attending in the 5th season. His friend Chris Terk is a surgical doctor who went to college and med school with him. There is also Elliot, the cute female doctor and JD’s on and off ‘girlfriend’ and Carla, Terk’s girlfriend, who is a nurse at the hospital. My favorite character, however, is Dr. Perry Cox, JD’s mentor. He is mean to the point of very funny, but you can tell actually cares when the moment calls for it.

    I’ve linked the first 2 seasons, which are currently the only ones out on DVD. Rumor has it Season 3 is due out next month. Scrubs is aired on Tuesdays at 9 and 9:30pm on NBC. Later!
