...documentary about middle-aged Israeli men haunted by their wartime Army service. In a few days we'll see a bio-pic on soccer legend Diego Maradonna, from two-time Palme d'Or winner Emir Kusturica. Today brought three docs from three continents: James Toback's Tyson, an extended interview (plus copious fight clips) with the former heavyweight champ; Daniel Leconte's It's Hard Being Loved by Jerks, about a French magazine brought to court for defaming Islam; and Jia Zhangke's 24 City, on the lives of three generations of factory workers in China...

Early this month, aides pounced on Obama's suggestion in a television interview that McCain was "losing his bearings as he pursues the nomination" by making negative attacks. Within hours, adviser Mark Salter had released a blistering memo saying the comment was a "not particularly clever" knock on McCain's age.
