Walk The Line

This movie has songs, a lot of them. Somewhere in the middle of the movie a thought ran across my head (that’s what thoughts do): Is this like the Hollywood equivalent of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (HAHK)? Not a good comparison because I’ve never watched HAHK.
Walk the Line is a fine movie. If you [...]
