...LIVE FLESH It could be a 1940s Hollywood melodrama or an 1840s French farce, but Pedro Almodovar's gaudy thriller is as modern as Monica. His characters hurl themselves off fate's precipice to find love, lust, deliverance. A wise woman tells her beau that "making love involves two people." That's right: delirious director, dazzled viewer...
...also unfair to hurl all the blame at Pitt and Forlani. Though the acting might be depthless, neither the script nor the direction manage to offer anything more profound. Martin Brest heaps on the excess--the film literally glitters in luxury (the ending fireworks scene is just unbelievable). But the spectacular visuals simply accentuate the problems in Meet Joe Black; instead of fleshed-out characters, instead of a compelling narrative, instead of subtlety, it offers us lush backgrounds and swelling music. Knowing full well that the movie can't elicit audience response on its own, Brest tries to shove romance...
...unfortunately, for one of its primary missions: dropping parachuting G.I.'s rapidly into the world's hot spots. It seems that in flight, the hulking 300-ton plane kicks up a lot of turbulence. Such swirling atmospheric eddies can entangle soldiers in their parachute lines, collapse their chutes or hurl airborne paratroopers dangerously into one another.

...Hillary Clinton, there will be no "I am you" speech. However much she might be angry at her husband, she is far angrier at Starr for training 100 lawyers and FBI agents on her husband's sex life. Many people, myself included, would have liked her to hurl her husband's boxer shorts out on the Truman Balcony for getting us into all this. But just as many of us admire couples who slog through the bad times. Her favorability ratings, at about 60%, are her highest ever. Still, I wouldn't want my daughter to grow...
...this point, you may be wanting to hurl the paper across the room in disgust,or, even better, be ready to pick up your pen andwrite an irritated letter about how this criticcan't appreciate wholesome musical theater. Tothat, I ask this question--what is the point ofmusical theater? If you believe it is simply toentertain, to create pretty images onstage andapplaud special effects without even thinking ofthe word "art," then to you I apologize. In thatcase, this is your show; watch it and enjoy it.But if you, like me, want to believe that even thetraditionally substanceless genre of musicaltheater...
