That's a good call
Lopez has chops and she's charismatic

Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There.

Sounds interesting though

It's a weird one. It's a Bob Dylan biopic, but it's never historical. Nobody's named Bob Dylan. It's non-linear. It's weird. About seven different people play facets of Bob (among them Cate). In other words: it's the perfect, poetic version of a biopic to make about somebody like Bob Dylan.

I am not really a fan of music bios - I can admire the performances but am seldom engaged, and they mostly tend to follow the same general rags to riches structure with added domestic strife scenes, blah blah.

An exception is Coal Miner's Daughter - I'm not a country music fan but that is an excellent film, and Sissy Spacek's performance as Loretta Lynn - convincingly playing her from her teens to her thirties - is superb.

I've never seen this one, I'll look out for it
Thanks

They never feel perfect to me since they change or leave out things, but these are good

Bird
Ray
The Buddy Holly Story

I enjoyed Ray and Buddy a lot
I'll have to look out for Bird, Forest Whitaker is very good in everything

Walk Hard was spot on.

I should see it, I like that guy

As to Walk The Line, it's a personal favorite
Phoenix was terrific and Witherspoon, who is naturally beautiful and charming, was never better than here

You really could fall in love with her June Carter!
