Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A Home at the End of the World (2004)

Anyone who thinks that Colin Farrell might just be a flavor-of-the-month party boy should be, after seeing this one, convinced that the kid's got pure talent. The story kinda meanders a bit -- but there's power and beauty and a hell of a lot of fantastic acting here. I enjoyed the "grown-up" scenes the best, but I've heard others say the first half is the stronger half. This is one of those movies that cast a spell on me -- but I doubt most will like it.
