U.S. Calls Iranian Plot Amateurish Officials say attempt to kill Saudi diplomat riddled with errors

8WYaijeho

MWi^_d]jed The alleged Iranian plot against the Saudi ambassador to Washington was “amateur hour,” an unusually clumsy operation for Iran’s elite foreign action unit, the Quds Force, U.S. officials said Wednesday as further stranger-than-fiction details emerged of the assassination gone wrong.

The Iranians’ would-be covert operative turned to a woman he met while working as a used-car dealer, hoping to find a Mexican drug dealer-assassin, and wound up with an American informant instead, according to two U.S. law enforcement officials.

Other U.S. officials said Manssor Arbabsiar made further mistakes, including arranging a payoff for the attack against Adel Al-Jubeir in an easily traceable way. They attributed the missteps to Iran’s relative inexperience carrying out covert operations in the

Manssor Arbabsiar, second from right in this artist’s rendering, was charged Tuesday in an alleged Iranian government-directed plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the U.S.

United States and Mexico.

Speaking anonymously, the officials said the U.S. believes the planned attack on the Saudi ambassador was conceived in part as proof that such an operation could be carried off. Then, perhaps, Iran would have followed up with a series of attacks against other embassies in the U.S. and in Argentina, officials said.

In public remarks, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke Wednesday of a “dangerous escalation” of what the U.S. claims is an Iranian pattern of franchising terror abroad.

“We will work closely with our international partners to increase Iran’s isolation and the pressure on its government, and we call upon other nations to join us in con-

Manssor Arbabsiar and an unnamed member of Iran’s Quds Forces were charged Tuesday with conspiring to kill Saudi diplomat Adel Al-Jubeir. Justice Department officials say the men tried to hire a purported member of the Mexican drug cartel Los Zetas to carry out the assassination. U.S. officials believe Iran hoped that an attack of that design would be blamed on al-Qaeda. That, in turn, would strike at two of Iran’s chief enemies: the U.S., at odds with Iran over its nuclear aspirations; and Saudi Arabia, battling Iran in a diplomatic Cold War for influence across the Persian Gulf and Middle East. (AP)

demning this threat to international peace and security,” Clinton said at a Washington conference.

Her words strongly suggested that the U.S. wants some new action against Iran from the U.N. Security Council, which has already approved several rounds of mild to moderate sanctions on Iran over its disputed nuclear program.

A Nigerian man pleaded guilty Wednesday to trying to bring down a jetliner with a bomb in his underwear, telling a federal judge he acted in retaliation for the killing of Muslims worldwide and referring to the failed explosive as a “blessed weapon.”

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, w h o a c k n o w ledged work ing Abdulmutallab for al-Qaeda and never denied the allegations, entered the plea against his attorney’s advice on the second day of his trial. He stands to get a mandatory life sentence for the

BWij_d] ?cfWYj ed I[Ykh_jo IYh[[d_d]i Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab told investigators he targeted a U.S.-bound flight at the urging of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical, American-born Muslim cleric recently killed by the U.S. military. Abdulmutallab’s ability to defeat airport security in Amsterdam accelerated the deployment of full-body scanners at U.S. airports. The Transportation Security Administration was using the scanners in some American cities at the time, but the attack accelerated their release. There are now nearly 500 devices nationwide. (AP)

2009 attack that aimed to kill nearly 300 people on Christmas Day in the skies above Detroit.

Abdulmutallab calmly answered the judge’s questions and warned that if the United States continues “to persist and promote the blasphemy of Muhammad and the prophets,” it risks “a great calamity.”

Abdulmutallab suggested more than a year ago that he wanted to plead guilty but never did. He dropped his four-person, publicly financed defense team in favor

of representing himself with help from a lawyer appointed by the court, Anthony Chambers.

When Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Tukel asked whether he was carrying a bomb, Abdulmutallab replied: “If you say so.” He said he was “guilty of U.S. law but not in the Koran.” Abdulmutallab, who told the judge he is 25, pleaded guilty to all eight charges, including conspiracy to commit terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.

Israel-Hamas Swap Stokes Fears Convicts-for-soldier deal could increase violence, critics say

Israeli euphoria over a deal to free a soldier held for five years by Hamas gave way Wednesday to growing anxiety that the swap for 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, some of them convicted of murder, could lead to new violence.

When Israelis got word Tuesday of the deal to free Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who was captured more than five years ago in a cross-border raid, they erupted in celebrations. That joy was tempered when they learned that about 300 Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis would be among the 1,027 released in exchange.

“This deal will be a huge victo-

ry for terror,” said Israeli Cabinet minister Uzi Landau, who voted against the swap.

Syrian-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal pledged Tuesday that those released “will return to ... the national struggle,” which only stoked Israeli fears that they may pay a heavy price for the deal.

In the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, where Schalit is believed to be held, militants went further, threatening to capture more Israeli soldiers.

An Israeli official said the swap would likely not take place before Tuesday. Both Israel and Hamas credited Egypt with brokering the deal, which also is a milestone for that country’s new military rulers who took power after the ouster of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak.

The Israeli Cabinet endorsed the deal by a 26-3 margin Wednesday, and most Israelis appear to support the deal. ARON HELLER (AP)

Egypt: Troops Did Not Start Riots Egypt’s military rulers blamed Christian protesters and “enemies of the revolution” on Wednesday for triggering the clashes on Sunday that left 26 dead, almost all Christians. The accusation was sure to enflame the fury within and beyond the Christian community over the worst violence since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster eight months ago.

At a news conference to present their version of the events, generals from the Supreme Council of Armed Forces showed footage of priests and a Coptic Christian activist they accused of instigating the violence. He accused protesters of “savage” attacks on the military.

defense minister, tried to clear the military of any blame. He denied troops opened fire at protesters, claiming their weapons did not have live ammunition. He said it was not in “the dictionary of the armed forces to run over bodies ... even when battling our enemy.”

Coptic Christians have felt

increasingly vulnerable since Mubarak’s ouster while Islamist extremists, known as Salafis, have gained freer rein.

The militar y’s charges on Wednesday looked certain to deepen the sectarian rift.

“These are blatant lies,” Khaled Abdel-Hamid, a member of the Revolution Youth Coalition, said of the military’s account. “The witnesses and the video clips prove that there was monstrous suppression by the army of a peaceful protest.”

Witnesses and Christian protesters have denied the demonstrators started the fighting. Videos show the violence appeared to begin when police charged protesters who were peacefully holding speeches near the state TV building. Another shows a soldier firing at protesters at close range. (AP)

Board to discuss new technology to update payment structure MWi^_d]jed Metro’s board will hear a presentation Thursday on whether to change its complex fare structure as it prepares to implement a new electronic payment system in the coming years.

The transit authority said it needs to examine its fare structure because it plans to put in place new technology for payments that would eventually replace its SmarTrip electronic cards, which

officials have described as outdated.

Metro plans to use “an open payment” system that would allow riders to use credit cards to pay at the fare gates.

The discussion is set to take place Thursday at the board’s finance and administration committee meeting.

Metro’s current rail fare system is based on distance. The farther a customer rides, the more it costs. It’s also more expensive to travel on the rail system during peak times.

Bus fares also vary, with one charge for regular routes, another for express routes and another

Metro is mulling a system that’d allow passengers to use credit cards at gates.

for airport express service. And then there are bus passes.

Last year, Metro introduced

its most comprehensive fare hike ever, also implementing a “peakof-the-peak” fare, to help cover a budget shortfall.

But customers have expressed concern that the fare system is too complex. Metro even struggled to implement the changes last year because of their complexity and memory limits with the fare gate technology.

Dan Stessel, Metro’s chief spokesman, said there are more than 44,000 combinations for fare costs.

Stessel said the Thursday presentation about changing the fares will be a “conceptual discussion.”

DANA HEDGPETH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

M^WjÊi ed j^[ JWXb[ Metro is looking at several ideas for how to potentially change its fare structure. Among them:

Eliminating the “peak-of-thepeak” surcharge on trains.

Implementing a program for unlimited bus and rail rides at certain times. For example, riders might be able to buy a monthly pass for regular commutes and get free rides at night and on weekends.

Instituting “zone-based” rail fares.

Reducing the number of fare combinations from 44,376 to four and making rail fare a standard $2.70. This option has the “lowest development cost “for instituting a new fare payment system, according to Metro.

Two groups are entrenched in Freedom Plaza and McPherson Square downtown. Protesters with the Stop the Machine and Occupy DC groups have erected tents and piled up boxes and other living materials as they hold meetings, decamp for marches and protests and otherwise traverse the city.

In Freedom Plaza, Stop the Machine group organizer Margaret Flowers said that the group and the National Park Service agreed to extend the group’s permit to stay there through Dec. 30. At McPherson Square, Occupy DC protesters have said they have no permit and have not been bothered by authorities.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s strong performances in the Republican primary debates, most recently on Tuesday night in New Hampshire, have given him an edge over his fellow GOP hopefuls.

The Romney Show As support builds, the front-runner waits for the GOP base to tune in MWi^_d]jed Buoyed by a series of strong debate performances, Mitt Romney is suddenly attracting new support from major donors and elected officials, some of whom had resisted his previous entreaties, as people across the GOP grow more accepting of him as their standard bearer.

“He’s viewed as an almost inevitable candidate,” said veteran strategist Ed Rollins, who until last month managed the campaign of one of Romney’s opponents, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. “He’s the heavy favorite.”

On Wednesday, Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and former House speaker Dennis Hastert became the latest to announce that they would back Romney. Former Republican National Committee chairman Jim Nicholson, hedge fund manager Paul Singer and Home Depot co-founder Ken

Langone are among the major party fundraisers now backing Romney.

“It’s all coming together for him,” said Cochran, who endorsed Romney on Wednesday. “People are beginning to be impressed with him and his thoughtful comments about the issues.”

The shift is being noticed not just among Republicans, but Democrats, too. In Chicago, President Obama’s campaign advisers increasingly view Romney as their most likely election foe and on Wednesday attacked Romney for taking “diametrically opposite positions” on key issues during his political career.

With three months until voting begins, Romney and his team

are hoping to leave an increasingly narrow path for his opponents by consolidating as much GOP support as possible.

Still, considerable obstacles stand in Romney’s path to the nomination, namely winning over social conservatives and tea party activists who have been uneasy with the health-care overhaul he championed as governor of Massachusetts, as well as his shifting positions on abortion and gay marriage.

And Romney has made it clear that he was taking nothing for granted. “I’m not sure I’m the nominee yet,” he quipped in Tuesday night’s Washington Post-Bloomberg debate, after being asked whom he would nominate to chair the Federal Reserve.

Febb_d] Fkppb[h While Republican and Democratic insiders see Mitt Romney as the GOP’s front-runner, several signs give his rivals hope.

Most GOP polls show Romney falling well short of a majority of support. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota surged midsummer but fell as Texas Gov. Perry soared. In recent polls, businessman Herman Cain has ranked as Romney’s top rival, though few strategists believe he will be the nominee. In national polls, combined support for Cain, Perry and Bachmann exceeds Romney’s support. (AP)

MW_j_d] _d j^[ M_d]i5 The biggest question in Republican circles is when and how Texas Gov. Rick Perry will use his own substantial campaign funds to buy TV ads hitting former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s record on health care, abortion, gay rights and job creation.

Perry’s campaign, which seems best-positioned to challenge Romney, dropped broad hints Wednesday that the moment is near. “Now that the field is full, the air war will start soon,” said Katon Dawson, former chairman of the South Carolina GOP and Perry’s top adviser in the state. “ Perry’s advisers say there’s still plenty of time to overtake Romney in key states. (AP)

“Anybody who gets caught up in the inevitability thing is making a huge mistake,” said a senior Romney adviser. “In Iowa and New Hampshire, you have to earn it, and the minute you think you don’t, you will lose it.”

A series of factors have shifted the race decidedly in Romney’s favor. Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s fall and Herman Cain’s rise seem to be splintering the conservatives who don’t like Romney, raising the prospect of his winning by plurality in such early voting states as Iowa and South Carolina.

What’s more, the decision of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie not to run and then to endorse Romney “pulled the cork,” in the words of one Romney adviser, on a bevy of major Republican donors.

But some Republicans cautioned that while Romney has more sustained momentum than any other candidate, this has been an unusually fluid race and more surprises could be in store.

“We’re in the Cinderella cycle of the primaries,” longtime strategist Ed Rogers said. “At any given time, somebody’s holding the slipper and trying to put it on. It pops off and somebody else catches it and they have it for a while. Right now, Romney’s got the slipper.”

you play good defense, it leads to good offense.”

A strong two-way third line would normally be something of a luxury for the Caps, but early into this season, Ovechkin and center Nicklas Backstrom have been slow to start. Both are a minus-two, and

After Monday’s 6-5 shootout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau went down his list of complaints.

Star winger Alex Ovechkin could be better, the power play needs to convert, and eight goals allowed in two games isn’t going to cut it.

As for the team’s offense — which has been fueled by a third line consisting of Brooks Laich, Jason Chimera and Joel Ward — Boudreau could only heap praise upon the “grinders.”

“The bottom six forwards in the [past] two games have been the key,” Boudreau said. “Eventually, the top six are going to start doing what they’re supposed to be doing, but right now it’s the bottom six.”

With the Capitals set to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday night, perhaps it’s @Wied not Ovechkin the Pens’ defense 9^_c[hW should be worried about, but the Caps’ spunky third line.

Together they’ve combined for nine points and four goals, and they were crucial to the Caps’ victory Monday. Versus Tampa, Chimera recorded his 100th career goal in the third period and scored the game-tying goal in the waning minutes to force overtime. “[We’re] just three guys working hard,” Chimera said. “We all really take pride in going against their number one line and playing really good defense. And mostly when

Ovechkin has only five shots and one assist in the first two games.

“I think [Ovechkin’s] got a long way to go to get to where he wants to be, to be as good as he should be,” Boudreau said. “He’s our No. 1 player, but he can be better. There’s no doubt about it.”

A match against Pittsburgh

Heea_[Êi H[ifedi[ A year ago.

Capitals rookie Marcus Johansson played in his first NHL games to much fan-fare over his potential.

When the Swede entered the 2011 season, he found himself in an unfamiliar place — the bench. After his opening night benching, Johansson turned in an inspired game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, picking up a goal and assist in a statement performance.

“That’s absolutely what you’re looking for,” Boudreau said of Johansson’s response to the benching. “Here’s a guy that sat out a game, he came out, he just said, ‘I’ll show them’ and that’s the kind of attitude you’re hoping for.” R.A.

could be just the challenge Ovechkin needs to get back @e[b MWhZ on track.

In 24 career games against the Pens, Ovechkin has 18 goals and 14 assists.

But the usual Ovechkin versus Sidney Crosby story line will be missing Thursday. Crosby is still sidelined with a concussion after hits he received from David Steckel in last season’s Winter Classic and Tampa’s Victor Hedman in the next game.

Another Ovechkin foil might be out of the lineup, too: Russian superstar Evgeni Malkin, who has a lower-body injury.

Malkin sat out the Penguins’ 4-2 victory over the Florida 8heeai Panthers on Tuesday but is set BW_Y^ to be part of a pre-game puck drop ceremony remembering the Kontinental Hockey League’s Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team that died in a plane crash on Sept. 7.

Ifehji Fhe <eejXWbb The Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive struggles have been well documented during their 1-4 start, and missed tackles rank among one of the unit’s problems.

According to Philly.com’s Sheil Kapadia, the Eagles missed a total of 13 tackles in last Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.

But Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha downplayed those struggles Wednesday, insisting that he and his teammates know how to tackle just fine, thank you.

“No, we don’t have to teach how to tackle. We know how to tackle.

We’re football players,” Asomugha said tersely Wednesday.

Asomugha then provided an explanation about why he believes the Eagles’ tackling struggles are seriously overblown as a problem for the defense.

“We’ve been doing it our whole lives. When you run to the football, then you get guys down,” he said. “Every football team in the National Football League misses tackles. There are missed tackles on the majority of the plays in the game.

“The thing about it is, those missed tackles — when everyone is getting to the football and crowding the football — those missed tackles aren’t as blown up as they are when it’s one guy and not everybody else is around it.”

“I think every game is important,” the cornerback said. “I t hink ever y game gets more important as the year goes on.

But defensive line coach Charley Wiles is not as optimistic and said based on what he saw during Tuesday’s practice, Gayle’s chances of playing are “not good.” Redshirt sophomore Tyrel Wilson would fill in at defensive end.

As for Gouveia-Winslow, the way Foster talked Tuesday about his replacement at whip linebacker, Alonzo Tweedy, the Hokies are preparing to play without the Ashburn, Va., native.

“I think sometimes you get guys, even as much as you harp on it, because they’re a play away from being the guy, when they’re still a backup,” Foster said. “I don’t know how much they’re focused.” MARK

Why was the song “Babalu” so important to your father’s legacy?

Because he did it so well and it was

sexy and powerful and dramatic.

He would bang that conga drum, and it was very exciting. It’s a Santeria song to the god Babalu. It’s kind of funny when you think about it, because he was on national television in the ’50s singing about a god of infectious diseases.

Are you sick of getting asked about “I Love Lucy”?

Yes [laughs]. But that doesn’t mean I won’t answer you. I get asked, “What’s your favorite episode?”

25,000 times a year. Truthfully, I don’t have a favorite episode.

How would you describe your dad’s contribution to American music?

Do you notice how many sitcoms still use plots from “I Love Lucy”?

He was a wonderful crossover. He really was the first person to introduce the conga line to the United States, in 1937. He was so smart about the way that he did it because he did some of those [Latin] numbers, but he also took American numbers, like Irving Berlin tunes, and sang them in English but gave them a Latin kick.

Even going back to “Laverne & Shirley,” I remember my mother going, “They just did our show!” It’s a compliment. They steal from the best. K ATIE ABERBACH (E XPRESS)

One is that it’s open. “Here’s our earthquake damage,” deadpanned the guide on a recent tour. Inside a display case, a little clay pot had toppled over.

The Mall’s sleek obelisk also lacks the GWMM’s patchwork grandeur. The memorial, which looms over King Street in Alexandria, came together in fits

and starts between 1910 and 1970 because the Masons didn’t want to go into debt. (Proof they don’t covertly run the federal government.)

Masons love mixing and matching ancient architectural styles — chiefly those that involved building stuff out of stone, as the name implies — and the tower’s exterior references the Parthenon and the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Egypt.

These days, gay characters are as common in film and television as dance numbers on “Glee.” For actors, taking on gay roles is no longer the career risk it once was — “The Kids Are All Right” got four Oscar nominations last year. But as representations of gay identity continue to go mainstream, Heckathorn says it’s more important than ever to make sure diverse stories are being told.

“Independent gay film has become more sophisticated,” he says. “Back in the ÇQJ^[ \[ij early ’90s, we didn’t have as many films _iS je h[c_dZ that dealt with transgender issues, for example. It’s expanded to run the whole ekhi[bl[i e\ m^[h[ m[Êl[ gamut of our lives.”

This year’s festival spans 10 days X[[d WdZ j^Wj of lectures, special events and films j^[ ijhk]]b[ featuring big-name actors, activist icons _idÊj el[h$ <_bc and space aliens in love.

“Camp has a big place in our culture,” _i ^_ijeho$ ?j Heckathorn notes. “Let’s not forget that j[bbi ekh ijeho drag queens were the ones who fought Æ Xej^ fWij back at the Stonewall Inn [in 1969], WdZ fh[i[dj$È which started the modern gay rights movement.”

— MARK HECK ATHORN, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FOR And while you can rent or stream REEL AFFIRMATIONS plenty of gay, indie films today, festivals like Reel Affirmations offer a chance to experience gay film in the context of the community — about 20,000 people over the course of the festival, according to Heckathorn.

“It’s important in the same way that we have [the gay pride festival] every June,” he says. “It’s to remind ourselves of where we’ve been and that the struggle isn’t over. Back when we started, who would have thought there would be marriage equality in the District of Columbia? Film is history. It tells our story — both past and present.” SHAUNA MILLER (E XPRESS)

Its title sounds like a blue movie, but “Dirty Girl” is really a sweet story: Chubby, gay boy meets foulmouthed girl with a bad reputation.

Together, the misfits are charged with a sack of flour they christen Joan — in honor of both Ms. Jett and Ms. Crawford.

Clarke has his own problems at home: His mom and dad (played

by Mary Steenburgen and Dwight Yoakam) are shipping him off to military school to straighten him out. So, when Danielle decides to head west to find the dad she never knew, they pack up Joan, steal Clarke’s dad’s car and hit the road.

“Dirty Girl” is Sylvia’s first fulllength feature, but it’s powered by some very big names, including Tim McGraw, who plays Danielle’s estranged father. The director says that’s because the cast believed in the story Sylvia had to tell.

“They took a chance on me,” he says. “They’re all brave actors. Milla plays a mom to a grown person — a lot of actresses would let their vanity get in the way of that.”

On the road, Danielle and Clarke find good times and several kinds of heartbreak. They also find a gay roadhouse, where the once-meek Clarke enters a beefcake dance contest to make gas money.

“In the beginning of the movie, Clarke’s wearing five layers of clothing, and as the movie goes on, it comes off as he’s slowly accepting who he is,” explains Sylvia. “And here’s this group of guys who finally appreciate what he’s bringing to the table. It’s not a sexualized moment; it’s a moment of relating. Those guys see what’s happening, and they’re cheering him on.” S.M.

Around the time Margolick began working on the book in the late 1990s, however, a rift had grown between the women, thanks to the unique pressures they faced from both the black and white communities in Little Rock. “The misunderstandings between them reveal the way that racial chasms can exist even between two wellmeaning people,” he says. “There are still real impediments to reconciliation in this country.”

While he made no attempts to push the pair to repair their friendship, Margolick acknowledges that their estrangement prevents any tidy readings of their story. There is no happy ending — at least not yet. “This was not a story that could be sugar-coated,” he says. “I wanted it to stand for itself, although I would have loved to have seen the two of them get together again. I think the two of them have a very profound connection still, but they haven’t talked to one another in 10 years.” STEPHEN M. DEUSNER

‘Elizabeth and Hazel’ adds new context to a famous encounter in 1957 Little Rock 8eeai It’s one of the most iconic visual documents of the civil rights era: A young black student walks to school, her eyes hidden behind sunglasses and her books clutched to her chest like armor against the menacing crowd around her. Behind her, a white female student sneers in exaggerated revulsion. Photographed during the integration of Little Rock Central High School in 1957, the powerful black-and-white image ran in newspapers across the country, starkly illustrating the tensions of integration.

Those two students, Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Bryan, are the

subjects of “Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock,” carefully written and exhaustively researched by David Margolick, who will speak Sunday at Politics & Prose. A contributing editor at Vanity Fair and the author of books about singer Billie Holiday and boxer Joe Louis, MarMargolick golick spent more than a decade traveling back and forth to Arkansas and interviewing the women, who are now in their early 70s.

Their story is surprising and even moving, but also tragically open-ended. In the early 1960s, Bryan — by then a young mother haunted by her actions as the jeering white student in the photo — called Eckford to apologize. The two made amends and eventually

‘A Bright New Boise’ is a bleakly comedic take on a boring life IjW][ Some people escape the banality of everyday life with gaming; others by drinking too much gin. In Samuel Hunter’s dark comedy “A Bright New Boise,” the main character, Will (Michael Russotto), finds comfort in religion — more specifically, in fervently praying that the Rapture will happen and that he’ll be zapped away from his humdrum life.

This darkly funny musing on workplace politics and family ties isn’t out to mock the devout, but to explore how our beliefs help us —

and sometimes hinder us.

In this case, we’re talking about a pretty dull existence: Will works in a Hobby Lobby store in Boise, Idaho, where his co-workers include a foul-mouthed T-shirt artist and a mild-mannered love interest, Anna (Kimberly Gilbert).

“When you’re thinking about the apocalypse, the visual antithesis is the white-walled break room of this big-box store,” says Hunter, who set the entire play in the employee lounge and the parking lot. “It makes you understand the hell and drudgery this character wants to be saved from.” By creating a character whose only chance for happiness seems to lie in rather extreme religious views, Hunter gives some insight into where

fringe beliefs come from. “The idea is that the apocalypse gives this comfort to him about his control over eternity,” Hunter says.

While Will yearns for those Four Horsemen to take him away, he’s still present in the mundane world, trying to reconnect with his long-

lost son and writing Christian fiction online. “There’s a real interweaving of the divine and the ordinary,” Hunter says of “Boise,” for which he won an Off-Broadway Theater Award for playwriting this year. “The play just allows both of those worlds to coexist.”

The play also contains hilarious bits about “Hobby Lobby TV,” the in-house channel which accidentally picks up horrific, graphic shows about medical procedures, as well as heartfelt discussions of what it means to be a parent, a spouse and even a churchgoer. Whether Will (or the audience) ever meets those horsemen seems beyond the point — the play is more about life than the afterlife.

EX[o j^[ If_h_j" Dej j^[ B[jj[h Stephen Mitchell took a few liberties with the original Greek in his ‘Iliad’ translation 8eeai Here are three important things we don’t know about “The Iliad,” the Greek epic poem set during the Trojan War: how much of it is based on fact, whether it was all written down at one time, and whether it was composed by one poet or many. Guesses at the author’s identity range from a single blind poet named Homer to an entire group of poets calling themselves the Homeridai (who might have been inspired by a single blind poet).

“In my mind, there is no doubt that there was one anonymous poet, coming from a long tradition of oral singers, who wrote or dictated ‘The Iliad,’” says Stephen Mitchell, whose

translation of the eighth-century B.C. work came out Tuesday ($35, Free Press). “His genius is stamped on the whole poem.”

A profound understanding of an author is vital for translators like Mitchell, to whom writerly intent matters as much, if not more than, word choice, cadence and line length. “ T h e r e ’s a Mitchell famous essay by [19th-century poet] Matthew Arnold called ‘On Translating Homer,’ and one of the things he says is that the essential qualities of the language of Homer are simplicity, clarity, speed and nobility,” Mitchell says. “When you’re trying to recreate that in English, the literal often has to go out the window.”

So does rhythm. Poet Richmond Lattimore’s 1951 “Iliad,” considered by many to be the definitive mod-

FheYh[Wj_ed Fh[eYYkfWj_ed You’re in your late 20s, in a committed relationship, healthy, educated, thoughtful and employed — time to start having babies, right? Or to start agonizing about whether the world really needs more people.

“Our generation is the first that’s had to consider the contradiction of not having children being seen as selfish, and also having children being seen as selfish,” says 31-year-old playwright Duncan Macmillan. “Lungs,” which runs through Oct. 23 at Studio Theatre, tackles this conflict of expectations.

The Slog of War

er to have a baby, the usual issues — money, inconvenience, commitment — fall away as even heavier questions arise. Like the carbon footprint of a baby, and its potentially thousands of descendants.

“Lungs” is the first production in Studio Theatre’s Lab Series, which has a mission to bring new plays to D.C. and keep costs down — all tickets for “Lungs” are only $20. Expect the series to focus on plays that can be produced cheaply, like “Lungs,” which has only two actors and no props or set to speak of. F.Z.

W and M wrangle their way through hormones and unprovoked nastiness and disappointment in each other and themselves on a bare stage with no props. Macmillan describes the setup as something “between a stand-up gig, a boxing match and a piece of dance.”

Mitchell’s work. Still, rhythm resonates.

You see, that paragraph’s hexameter! This one’s pentameter, and thus it wins. And now your Homer-work is: Read the book.

“Partly it’s a smoke screen for their anxieties and their doubts over whether or not they’ll be good parents, and it’s easier to overthink and delay and find reasons not to,” Macmillan says.

“Being thoughtful does not necessarily make you happier,” says Macmillan, who wrote “Lungs” when he was 30. He’s been engaged for three years and still can’t figure out whether having children is a responsible choice. “Knowing how the world works a little more only makes the world seem more complicated, more unmeasurable,” he laments.

One thing that definitely won’t give you the answer: writing a play about how there is no answer.

“It wasn’t therapy,” Macmillan says of the writing process. “It wasn’t successful therapy, anyway.” FIONA ZUBLIN (E XPRESS) Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; through Oct. 23, $20; 202-332-3300, Studiotheatre.org. (Dupont Circle)

Remember seeing “Footloose” in theaters, back in 1984? The stars of the new “Footloose” remake, opening Friday, don’t. They weren’t born yet. Newcomer Kenny Wormald, 27, steps into Kevin Bacon’s role as rebellious Ren, the big-city teen who moves to a small town and tries to reverse its ban on dancing; Julianne Hough, 23, plays Ariel, the defiant daughter of the preacher (Dennis Quaid) who enforces said ban. Hough, a “Dancing With the Stars” champ and country singer, spoke to Express about her first leading role.

I completely get where they’re coming from. It’s not just a remake; it’s a remake of an iconic movie. A lot of people hold it dear to their hearts.

I know this firsthand because of Craig Brewer, our director. He likes to call himself a “Footloose”ologist. He saw it when he was 13, and he literally thought that they made that movie for him.

BOOTS, IN THIS WEEKEND’S REVIVAL OF THE MUCH-LOVED ’80S FILM “FOOTLOOSE.”

What’s the most notable difference between your version and the original?

That we showed the car accident [that led to the ban on dancing].

The accident isn’t in the original. For this generation, we had to set it up, like, “OK, why does this town have laws against certain things?”

What are you most tired of getting asked?

How did you relate to Ariel?

I’m a lot deeper than people think. When it comes to scenes that are pretty emotional, I related to those.

Why do we feel such nostalgia for the movies of our childhood?

They bring back memories and emotions you were feeling when

_dZ_[i Whj_[i

“Why remake ‘Footloose’?” I like what Craig [Brewer] says: “When you’re in theater, you do a lot of plays that have been around for a long time. But you don’t call them remakes; you call them revivals.” I think that’s what we’re doing with our version.

Scares On Screen

Simon Pegg (in blood-spattered white) leads a team of British misfits (Britfits?) against zombies in “Shaun of the Dead.”

There are only 18 days until Halloween, which means there are only 19 days until all the candy goes on sale. You can start the spooky early this year, thanks to the AFI Silver’s annual “Halloween on Screen” film festival, which begins Friday. This year it’s focusing on Vincent Price, showing “The Last Man on Earth” (you might know it better by the name of the story it’s based on, “I Am Legend”) and Roger Corman’s “The Pit and the Pendulum.” Don’t miss “Vincent” (paired with other films on Oct. 14, 21, 29 and 31), Tim Burton’s six-minute directorial debut about a little boy with a taste for the macabre, which is actually totally adorable. There are plenty of non-Price treats, including 1925’s “The Phantom of the Opera” and AFI’s annual screening of “Nosferatu,” both of which will show on Oct. 28 with live accompaniment from the Alloy Orchestra. There’s also a little-known Norwegian Nazi zombie film (yes, we know, ANOTHER one?) called “Dead Snow,” screening on Oct. 22. But the biggest draw may be Simon Pegg’s 2004 film “Shaun of the Dead,” which started — and effectively ended — the genre of the “rom-zom-com.” AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Oct. 1431; $8-$20; 301-495-6720, Afi.com/silver. (Silver Spring)

Let’s hear it for the boy! The “FOOTLOOSE” remake hits screens Friday, so try to shake your groove thing without spilling the popcorn. Kevin Bacon’s original Ren will always have a place on cinema’s dance floor, but plenty of other stars have also boogied down. K.P.K.

' Gene Kelly, “Singin’ in the Rain” This 1952 musical has lots of catchy tunes, but one man, an umbrella and the luckiest street lamp in the world will always define this film.

( The Chimney Sweep Chorus, “Mary Poppins” OK, they aren’t stars. But the “Step in Time” ensemble steals Dick Van Dyke’s thunder with a performance so frenetic you’d think the choreographer of this 1964 Disney flick found his muse mainlining espresso.

) John Travolta, “Saturday Night Fever” Take one dancer. Add one white leisure suit. Sprinkle with disco balls and let a legend loose.

* Jennifer Grey, “Dirty Dancing” For a legion of preteens, 1987’s greatest moment was when Baby nailed the lift. But there’s also a place for the time she bails on it and ad-libs some hilarious arm movements.

+ Amanda Schull, “Center Stage” The best part of this terrible 2000 film is when protagonist Jody manages to change her outfit, don red toe shoes and get her hair cornrowed in the span of three seconds.

Nightmare in Rosslyn You might think it’s too early in the month for a splatter-fest weekend, but the folks behind Artisphere’s Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival are here to tell you differently — and they might have chain saws, so you should probably agree. “Helldriver,” a 2010 Japanese movie billed as “an apocalyptic ride into a diseased and flesheating world,” kicks off the series. The fest also marks the North American premiere of Troma Entertainment’s “Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical,” starring Tim Dax, left, as the titular vengeful muscleman. 1101 Wilson Blvd., Arlington; through Sun.; 703-875-1100, see Artisphere.com for pricing and tickets. (Rosslyn)

Ace of Bass Even if we weren’t fans of Esperanza Spalding’s music, we would forever think it wonderful that a jazz bassist from Portland, Ore., was able to snag 2010’s Best New Artist Grammy from Justin Bieber’s grasp. We love her music on its own merits, though! Spalding, who also is a vocalist and composer, has a low-key, Brazilian-influenced style that’s irresistible. Warner Theatre, 513 13th St. NW; Sun., 8 p.m., $50; 202-783-4000, Warnertheatre.com. (Metro Center)

WEEKEND

An American Tale Dancer Katia Chupashko inspired D.C. choreographer Dana Tai Soon Burgess’ new dance piece, “Becoming American,” and she stars in it, too. Chupashko, now 28, was born in South Korea; when she was 2, a New Jersey couple adopted her and her 4-year-old brother. Burgess’ work explores the immigrant experience through the story of a child struggling to fit in. Dance Place, 3225 8th St. NE; Fri.-Sun., $8-$22; 202-269-1600, Danceplace.org. (Brookland)

Crowd-Surfing Will Seem Tame Listening to Deer Tick’s albums, you might get the impression that this is a fairly mellow, folky blues-rock band.

But the group’s live shows can get completely debauched — nudity, destroyed equipment and the eating of flowers by frontman John McCauley, left, are not unheard of — so prepare yourself. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Sun., 7 p.m., $15; 202-265-0930, 930.com. (U St.-Cardozo)

Discord and Rhyme Has there ever been a bouncy pop song more horrifying than “Hungry Like the Wolf”? Half the lyrics don’t make any sense (“smell like I sound”?) and those that are coherent are about chasing a woman with violent intent. But if your hunger for Duran Duran endures, they’ll “be upon you by the moonlight side” (Is that in Northwest?) on Sunday night. DAR Constitution Hall, 1776 D St. NW; Sun., 7:30 p.m., $48-$149; 202-6284780, Dar.org/conthall. (Farragut West)

★★★

The happiest place on Earth? Chef Spike Gjerde’s celebration of the Chesapeake region in Baltimore’s Hamden neighborhood is a serious contender. Merely strolling into the rustic former mill, with its sky-high ceiling, slaps a smile on my face, although the novel cocktails boost any mood, too. Even the menu categories are comforting. “Warm plates” yields sizzling shrimp offered with a peanut-laced romesco sauce. “Nose to Tail” is a rundown of charcuterie that includes woodroasted veal sausage nestled with potatoes and biting padron peppers. “Supper” highlights chicken and a biscuit that you’ll want more of. Ask for a seat upstairs, where most of the tables look onto the party below, and plan on an oldfashioned dessert such as a fruitfilled 1-2-3-4 cake.

H[jkhdi TOM SIETSEMA’S FALL DINING GUIDE

CWoX[ _j iekdZi Y^khb_i^$ 7dZ ? ZedÊj c[Wd je YecfbW_d$ I know my job requires me to spend 40 hours a week in restaurants, eating food that is seldom awful and sometimes grand. But if there’s one thing I miss about being a civilian diner, it’s the chance to get to know the people who feed and serve me. I’d love to be welcomed at places I admire and to be able to return to favorite dishes without the cloud of deadline: to be a regular in a restaurant. Here are a few places I fantasize about developing steady relationships with.

Standard’s pulled pork sandwiches nourish intrepid beer guzzlers.

Relocated from Bethesda to Wheaton over the summer, this cash-only, two-tone storefront specializes in ramen. There are a mere four bowls to consider — three based on pork broth and one featuring seaweed stock — although a customer can accessorize a meal with boiled egg and bamboo shoots, among other additions. This slurper’s vote goes to the piping-hot miso-flavored feast wrought from wiry yellow noodles imported from Sapporo, Japan; crumbled ground pork; bean sprouts; and scallions. From beyond the little window in the back of the spare, 25-seat dining room comes exactly one appetizer: sheer gyoza, made in house and among the juiciest pork dumplings around.

2010 Clipper Park Road, No. 126, Baltimore; 410-464-8000, Woodberrykitchen.com. Prices: brunch $9-$18, dinner $10-$32.

The standard for barbecue, bratwurst and beer gardens shot skyward in March when the creators of Standard set out rows of picnic tables on 14th Street and began topping them with pulled pork sandwiches, snappy sausages and clove-scented hefeweizen.

The bean counter is David Rosner, by day an energy policy consultant; the grill master is Tad Curtz, who brings to this mostly exterior eatery the same care he deployed as a cook for four years at Two Amys pizzeria. Curtz infuses his pork with apple cider vinegar, red chili flakes, black peppercorns and hot sauce for a sting to remember. Just as transporting is bratwurst cradled with winy sauerkraut in a pillowy bun. Other goodies from his kitchen include sweet, crisp buttermilk onion rings; fluffy-centered hush puppies; and Mexican-style corn on the cob, spritzed with lime. Go early to get seats, and remember that all but 16 are outside.

Miso ramen with boiled egg is a delight to slurp down at Ren’s Ramen in Wheaton.

11403 Amherst Ave., Wheaton; 301-693-0806; Rens-ramen.com.

Prices: $6.50-$12.

Ratings are based primarily on food quality but take into account service and ambiance.

Restaurants that are useful to know about if you are nearby; they may have only a few dishes to distinguish them.

Restaurants with generally appealing cooking service and settings; they tend to be worth driving across town for.

Rewarding destinations; they typically blend high-quality cooking with the environs and service to match.

An unsurpassed dining experience; these restaurants do what they do extraordinarily well.

8khcW HeWZ “The left side of the menu is Chinese food; the right side is Burmese,” coaches the waitress at one of the most personable restaurants I know. Veer to the right, and you can’t go wrong, not when the dishes include a zesty salad of julienned ginger and carrot that pops with fried lentils, and tender pork with pickled mango. They are two of the many reasons Burmese cooking is such a draw and Burma Road, in Gaithersburg, is such a delightful ride. Don’t get me wrong. The Chinese selections are tasty. But these take a back seat to coconut noodle soup bobbing with chicken bites and scored squid golden with curry.

Ethiopic’s signature lamb tips are served in a pot heated by a candle.

Tavira offers a taste of Portugal in the form of spicy roast chicken.

HWi_aW ★★★★ If there’s one cuisine I could eat every day, it’s Indian, and if there’s one source that explains why, it’s Rasika. No other Indian restaurant of my acquaintance surpasses the range offered by lead chef Vikram Sunderam. The Bombay native is justly famous for his crisp baby spinach tossed with sweet yogurt and date chutney, and his silken black cod marinated in honey, dill and — believe it or not — English cheddar cheese. But there are dozens of other items that could be his signatures, too, among them baked cabbage dumplings in a yogurt sauce, and tender morsels of lamb draped in a red gravy of tomato, curry leaves and coconut shavings. Does roasted eggplant chutney count as a dish?

The seesaw of ginger and tamarind compels me to finish the condiment. Desserts, meanwhile, go beyond the cliches to include a glossy golden apple fritter presented with a scoop of cardamom-spiced ice cream.

STACY ZARIN GOLDBERG/TWP

The city’s best source for kitfo — Ethiopia’s fiery, butter-splashed version of steak tartare — became a lot more inviting when the husband-and-wife owners redid its forgettable facade. The Atlas District restaurant now sports a big picture window that lets passers-by see into the dining room of buffed wood floors, brick walls and illuminated linen-covered columns that show off Amharic characters. This is the only Ethiopian restaurant I know of that starts a meal with bread: soft chunks of house-baked whole-wheat that come with a red pepper oil for dipping. Crusty beef cubes mixed with tomato, jalapeño and onion, and tender chicken draped in dark red gravy are, like all the dishes here, eaten with pieces of the spongy, slightly sour bread known as injera. My preference, however, is to go meatless. Zesty red lentils, garlicky chopped greens and potatoes yellow with curry presented on a canvas of injera create a pinwheel you can eat.

You can’t go wrong with the zesty soups at Gaithersburg’s Burma Road.

My young waiter suggests I might enjoy tonight’s appetizer special of grilled baby squid with lime. “If you don’t like it,” he says earnestly, “I’ll eat it and bring you something else.” I can always count on engaging service at Tavira. But another lure of this basement restaurant in Chevy Chase is something more rare: the chance to feast on the rustic food of Portugal. I’m talking golden, fluffy-centered cod fritters; spicy roast chicken with a field of hot potato chips; fish staged with chorizo and chickpeas; and the justly famous soup of shredded kale, potatoes and sausage known as caldo verde. The low-ceilinged dining room is showing its dozen years, but there’s no denying Tavira’s sense of hospitality.

SCOTT SUCHMAN/TWP

Overlook the hard-to-spot location in an otherwise ordinary office building in Tysons Corner. At Nostos, you’ll get a taste of Greece first in the neat, chalk-white setting and again in the cooking of chef Eugenia Markesini Hobson. Just about everything but the bread and the ice cream originates in the kitchen, a sleek spin-off of the popular Mykonos Grill in Rockville. Put the warm pita to use by ordering a few dips: whipped fish roe bright with lemon and roasted eggplant bold with garlic. I could make a meal of the mezedes, small plates — burger-size beef meatballs, tender grilled octopus, flaky spinach pie — that take into account every whim. But the entrees merit saving some room. If your server sounds excited by tonight’s lamb shank or whole grilled fish, chances are you will be, too. And if decisions aren’t your thing, the sampler platter is there to help. Any meal is improved with a slice of super-moist, sweetly spiced apple-walnut cake. Owner Peter Pagonis says Nostos refers to “the desire to go back to the place you were born and raised.” It just might make some of us wish that place were Greece.

J^[ >[he[i 9ecfb[n A children’s series based on the values of Islam struggles to reach U.S. airwaves

8WYaijeho Two years after signing a U.S. television distribution agreement with the Hub, a partnership between Hasbro toys and Discovery, “THE 99” has yet to air in the United States. Mark Kern, a spokesman for the Hub, declined to address whether criticism of the series has delayed broadcast of the show.

Isaac Solotaroff, director of “Wham! Bam! Islam!,” a PBS documentary about Mutawa’s efforts (which airs tonight at 10 as part of the “Independent Lens” series), said he attended a planning meeting with the Hub in March and he has no doubt that blog pressure has delayed U.S. distribution. “The Hub clearly expressed that, as a relatively new network, they simply could not afford any risks,” he says. “This was not something they had initially anticipated when they bought the rights to ‘THE 99’ but was, in fact, an unfortunate reality of the current political climate in America.” C.M.

Judy, Judy, Judy!

Who will be the new Oprah: Anderson Cooper? Rosie O’Donnell? Katie Couric?

I don’t care, because my favorite daytime personality is still going strong.

Judge Judy, who has earned higher ratings than Oprah in seasons past, began her 15th year this fall and has been renewed through 2015.

In D.C., her show airs at 4:30 p.m. on Fox and 6 p.m. on WDCA. I love Judge Judy because she says things we yearn to say 8o CWhY to acquaintances who I_bl[h bend the truth and act like morons: “I don’t believe you.” “You should stop doing all that piercing. I think it’s affecting your brain.” “I find your smirk objectionable.”

Where do the show’s bad eggs come from? Court records are combed. Defendants and plaintiffs are contacted.

The TV decisions are binding and cannot be appealed. The show pays any judgments awarded, as all court shows do.

What motivates people to risk the wrath of Judy? A spokesman for the show believes they simply want to be told in front of nearly 10 million viewers, “You’re right!” What happens more often is summed up by a teenage defendant who damaged a friend’s car with a drunken kick: “We look like idiots on TV now.”

Naif Al-Mutawa, a psychologist from Kuwait, was riding in a London taxi not long after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks when he had an idea. To counter the terrorists’ message, he wanted to create a children’s television series about superheroes who embody the values, culture and history of Islam and the Middle East.

Ten years later, Mutawa’s dream has become “THE 99,” a series with all the whiz-bang Hollywood thrills that American kids expect, but with a twist: 99 superheroes, including some Americans, doing good based on the values of Islam.

“My conviction, my mission, is based on the belief that the only way to beat extremism is through arts and culture,” Mutawa says.

But after two years of trying, Mutawa has been unable to get his program broadcast in the United States, despite having signed a contract for U.S. distribution with a reputable U.S. company. He and others see that as an illustration of this country’s deep ambivalence — and sometimes suspicion or outright hostility — to Islam. “‘THE 99’ never talks about religion,” Mutawa says. “We never address the mechanics of any religious law. Our superheroes are archetypes — blueprints — of values we all aspire to.”

And resistance to Mutawa’s works has not been limited to the United States.

His television series is based on a

Jabbar, left, and Noora, right, are two of the superheroes featured in “THE 99.” Each represents one of Islam’s 99 attributes of Allah.

comic-book series that he created in which heroes discover magic stones that give them superhuman powers. The heroes represent Islam’s 99 attributes of Allah, and they use their abilities to battle evil.

Mutawa says trying to create a comic based on Islam was controversial in the Middle East, because of a political and religious environment that views pop-culture treatments of faith with deep suspicion.

Mutawa has also come under fire from conservative bloggers. Pamela Geller, an outspoken critic of Islam, has argued that “THE 99” is “gar-

bage” and “proselytizing.”

Others have lauded Mutawa, including President Obama, who praised his “innovative” work, saying it had “captured the imagination of so many young people,” at the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship earlier this year.

“There is always someone who will play to fears for political gain, focus on that which divides us rather than which unites us as people,” Mutawa says. “But that is not the majority of people in the U.S. or the Middle East.” CHRISTOPHER M. SCHROEDER (THE WASHINGTON POST )

9_d[cWÊi D[nj FWhWZ_]c I^_\j A new movie debuts at home the very day it opens in theaters <_bc Nicolas Cage may be happy he got to work with Nicole Kidman and director Joel Schumacher on his new thriller “Trespass.” But Cage isn’t thrilled that viewers will be able to watch the movie at home the same day it opens in theaters.

“Trespass” debuts Friday for a limited theatrical run in 10 cities.

It will be available at the same time for home viewing through video on demand. The DVD and Blu-ray release follow two weeks later on Nov. 1, compared with a typical window of about four months between theatrical release and home video.

It’s a business decision that will help “Trespass” distributor Millennium Entertainment, an independent outfit, make the most of its advertising dollars.

Cage understands that, but he wishes the movie could have a separate life on the big screen before it goes to smaller television and computer screens. “I like movies to be seen the way the director wanted them to be seen, which is on the big screen, with an audience, with their popcorn,” Cage says. “I want movies to be an event.”

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is recreating one of its field hospitals in Washington, DC, just like those used by its doctors and nurses to treat malnourished children in Somalia, India, and elsewhere. MSF aid workers will guide visitors through a simulated clinic used to treat and prevent childhood malnutrition. Visitors will also be able to view stunning multimedia documentaries and photographs from the award-winning photojournalists of VII Photo, and join the fight to rewrite the story of malnutrition. This event is free, open to the public, and wheelchair accessible.

“Trespass” — with Nicolas Cage, left, and Nicole Kidman, right — will be available online for as little as $6.99 Friday.

often release films to theaters and video on demand around the same time. Some films can be watched at home ahead of their theatrical release, such as Kirsten Dunst’s “Melancholia,” already available to rent through video services a month before it debuts in U.S. cinemas.

“In this day and age, independents are pretty much consolidating some of the windows on theatrical and home releases,” says David Sobieraj , of Millennium Entertainment. “It maximizes the marketing dollars across the board.”

“Trespass” will be available to rent for as little as $6.99 through such sites and services as Amazon.com, Blockbuster and DirecTV. At that price, and since it plays only in 10 theaters, most viewers will likely see “Trespass” at home.
