CARLOS – THE CRITERION COLLECTION

DIRECTOR: OLIVIER ASSAYAS
Starring: Edgar Ramirez, Alexander Scheer, Alejandro Arroyo

CARLOS, directed by Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours), is an epic, intensely detailed account of the life of the infamous international terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sanchez—also known as Carlos the Jackal. One of the twentieth century’s most-wanted fugitives, Carlos was committed to violent left-wing activism throughout the seventies and eighties, orchestrating bombings, kidnappings, and hijackings in Europe and the Middle East. Assayas portrays him not as a criminal mastermind but as a symbol of seismic political shifts around the world, and the magnetic Édgar Ramírez (The Bourne Ultimatum) brilliantly embodies him as a swaggering global gangster. Criterion presents the complete, uncut, director-approved, five-and-a-half-hour version of CARLOS.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: SEASON 6

CREATOR: CARTER BAYS, CRAIG THOMAS

Starring: Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan, Jason Segel, Josh Radnor

The highly acclaimed series and Emmy Award winner, “How I Met Your Mother,” is a comedy about Ted’s (Josh Radnor) hilarious journey to meeting his future wife. It all started when Ted’s best friend, Marshall (Jason Segel), dropped the bombshell that he was going to propose to his long-time girlfriend, and now wife, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realized that he had better get a move on if he too hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted met Robin (Cobie Smulders), it was love at first sight, but when things didn’t work out, Ted realized destiny must have something else in store. The series is narrated though flashbacks from the future.
