trailer break: ‘Carlos’
With a long miniseries version debuting on TV and a shorter cut opening in theaters, Olivier Assayas’s epic about the notorious terrorist Carlos the Jackal should be an interesting test in new movie-release paradigms.

Lacy and the STO’s attempt to bomb the Caprica City spaceport is an interesting counterpoint to Clarice’s virtual bombing of the C-Bucs’ stadium. Maybe Clarice is a better leader for a terrorist group that actually wants to achieve its crazy goals.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is rapidly barreling at us — it releases on November 19 on both sides of the Atlantic — which is good enough news, but now comes even better news for fans of not-sucky films everywhere…
