DVD Review: Walk the Line – Extended Cut

A few years back we got a film about a musician who over came great odds and family tragedy to become world renowned, well respected, a legend in his own lifetime. His life was not an easy one, it was fraught with drug abuse, infidelity, and just overall troubles, all despite his considerable music talent that connected with a legion of fans, and whose influence is felt to this day.

The intent is obvious from the title alone.

It’s Oscar season again. Can you feel it? Of course you can. The air is getting colder, it is about to snow here in Ohio (not really, but close enough) and studios are already starting to send press sweet DVD screeners. One particular screener that I am interested in receiving from the FedEx guy is Rendition, starring Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep, Peter Sarsgaard and Alan Arkin.
