...into perfect synch. The last line of Volver - "I don't know how I've lived all these years without you" - could be Almodóvar's testimony to his old friend and star. Whether or not he's working at masterpiece altitude, he remains at 56 the wonder boy of international cinema. Movies couldn't live without him. Babel's story line is even more complex than Volver's, spanning three continents and a dozen major characters, most of whom never meet one another.

Apparently the protesters are taking offense to the fact that the plot claims that Jesus married Mary Magdelene and had kids. I am a Roman Catholic. I was an alter boy. I play the organ regularly for church services. I go to mass every Sunday. And I find nothing offensive about “The Da Vinci Code.” I remember being engrossed when I read the book, staying up late into the night, repeatedly telling myself...
