...watch - even for audiences who have grown inured to the near-nightly footage of suicide attacks in Baghdad. Here the dissection of the phenomenon is a lot more intimate and painful. The first 20 minutes of the film suggests a mundane domestic drama and West Bank life looks crushingly dull. Two buddies, auto mechanics in their early 20s, kill time by drinking tea on a hillside above Nablus, gossiping about girls and whining about their boss. Dishes are washed, children are put to bed; there is not much else to do at night. Then one of the intifadeh's local...
...There had been the dull ache of a divided family, split by the 1947 partition and the Line of Control established in 1949 after the first India-Pakistan war. But that seemed to evaporate with summer?s family reunion. Yet even that recent happiness is a distant memory now. Asked whether he had word from Muzzafarabad, the epicenter of Saturday's earthquake where an estimated 11,000 people died, Qumayom said absently: ?We have had no communication with them...
...LEADER - YET. The Tory image should sharpen when a new man takes charge in December.

How much money can be made off shamefully evoking 9/11? How much dull heavy-handedness is required to convince an audience of a film’s Importance? Do you know about the war in Iraq—and don’t you think it’s bad? Is that Tom Cruise, or a working-class sex robot from...
...years, it's been the same question: Which Neil? The lumber-shredding, screeching Canadian eagle of vengeance? The willfully weird but kind of dull experimenter? The acoustic guy? This time it's just Good Neil. Neil Young, 59, started making Prairie Wind, out Sept. 27, his (lordy) 31st album, a week before he had brain surgery--a nice p.r. detail but also a legit reason for him to think about mortality and drift back to his days on the Canadian steppe. There's politics and religion too, as well as some of Nashville's best musicians, though...
