So much to do, so little time. That’s why I scour the listings to find the best and the brightest things to do every weekend for readers of OTBKB.

In the mood for a 5 hour movie about a Venezuelan terrorist?

Today at 3PM at BAM: Carlos, Special Roadshow Edition, a 5-hour series directed by Olivier Assayas for French Television in its complete form. “How good is Olivier Assayas’ Carlos? Think of The Bourne Identity with more substance, or Munich with more of a pulse, and you begin to have a sense of what the French filmmaker accomplished with this globetrotting and epic look at one man’s rise to the station of international guerrilla leader and terrorist celebrity.” —Los Angeles Times
