In case you missed it: The actor Diego Luna (of Y Tu Mama Tambien) screened his documentary Chavez, about Julio Cesar Chavez, at New York's Tribeca Film Festival in April and May. "Since I was a kid, Chavez has been my hero, and almost a hero of every Mexican, I guess," Luna says in a video interview (see below). He wants to get the film, his directorial debut, into theaters. No date is set for release. Some links:

Also debuting at the filmfest was goofball comedy The Hammer, starring Man Show sidekick Adam Carolla. He's a construction worker who heads back to the gym to make an unlikely bid for a spot on the Olympic boxing team.In the news: Franklin McNeil of the Newark Star-Ledger writes that Antonio Tarver finds motivation in revenge, and that opponent Elvir Muriqi, whom Tarver fights Saturday, is the next step in the current comeback.
