What's on at the cinema plus reviews of the latest movie and DVD releases
Johnny Cash has a new entry at number one
The 'man in black' blows away the competition at the London box office.
Feb 8 2006
Two Oscar-nominated performances and a slew of positive reviews helped propel 'Walk the Line' to the top of the London box office over the weekend.
Featuring remarkable turns from Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter, the film opened with an impressive £193,546 haul, knocking Spielberg's 'Munich' off the top spot.
Holding firm at number three was Michael Haneke's brilliant 'Hidden', while 'Brokeback Mountain' fell from two to four, though it should continue to do good business as the Oscar ceremony nears.
The forgettable Jennifer Aniston thriller 'Derailed' is a new entry at number six, knocking the forgettable Jennifer Aniston comedy 'Rumour Has It' down to number seven.
And at the foot of the chart, kid flick 'Zathura' is a new entry at number nine while Werner Herzog's brilliant documentary 'Grizzly Man' could only enter the chart at number ten.
Next week, we hope that 'Lady Vengeance' does big business at the top, although all evidence (depressingly) suggests that 'Chicken Little' will be the one to beat.
