Summary:Terrence Malick's films are like visual poetry, so a story about the romance between John Smith and Pocahontas seems a natural for him: a beautiful girl, a daring man, miles and miles of unspoiled wilderness and a story redolent with tragic destiny. "The New World," which goes nationwide on Friday, stars wild man Colin Farrell as the headstrong and disobedient Smith. Lovely 15-year-old newcomer Q'Orianka Kilcher, whose father is a Quechua Indian from South America and whose name means "golden eagle," makes her starring debut as the Powhatan princess he loves. Memphis super-producer Jim Dickinson calls Amy LaVere "the most promising emerging artist I've seen in years," and it's tough to imagine praise much higher than that. "This World IsNot My Home," her solo debut, is a distillation of the styles she absorbed while moving around as a kid. Her parents loved Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, and she fronted a punk band as a teenager after her family ended up in Detroit. Both those influences, along with a sultry jazz sound, spill over in the 10 songs (five of which she wrote) on "This World Is Not My Home."
