The Auteurs regular contributor Dave McDougall takes a personal look at David Lean's classic Brief Encounter not through the movie itself, but the experience of a transient movie theater romance in A Brief Encounter.

Several critics and friends I had the pleasure of spending time with in Toronto have posted their coverage of the film festival online: Girish Shambu at Artforum; Darren Hughes at Long Pauses (featuring a stunning photograph of Liverpool's director, Lisandro Alonso);  Michael Sicinski at The Academic Hack; and Rob Davis and J. Robert Parks at Daily Plastic.

Keeping with the Toronto Film Festival theme, Eye Weekly has posted a series of video podcasts about that very festival featuring Eye Weekly's Jason Anderson and Adam Nayman, Variety's Robert Koehler, The Village Voice/L.A. Weekly's Scott Foundas, and Cinema Scope's Mark Peranson and Andrew Tracy.

Two interesting American trailers, the first because of the property, the second because of the strange picture of the film it paints: full trailer for the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, and the full trailer for the new Ridley Scott film,Body of Lies.
