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

The Secret in Their Eyes (2010)

A retired Argentinian detective has decided to write a novel about a case that has haunted him for 25 years: the rape and murder of a young wife. We follow the twin timelines of the original case and the current day seamlessly -- it was so well done that I had a hard time deciding which version of the characters were closer in age to the actors portraying them.

There's a lot packed into the two hours and I was impressed and affected by it all. Simply magnificent.
