People in Pedro Almodovar films, though, never learn quite fast enough to cope with the wild, melodramatic twists the Spanish writer-director hurls their way like grenades. That's one of the lovely things about Almodovar epics like Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!: they give you three movies' worth of plot in a fast 100 minutes or so. His sensuous, delirious new film, Live Flesh, has plenty.

In a replay of the rhetorical battles that marked...
...Meanwhile, a team that's already well down the road the Marlins are on found themselves in the bizarre, but increasingly common, position of celebrating a Cy Young winner at the same time as entertaining trade offers for him. Pedro Martinez was named the National League's top pitcher after dominating the league last season with a 17-8 record and 1.90 ERA. The award can only help the Expos, now little more than a Major League farm team for clubs with deeper pockets, deal Martinez to a team such as the Yankees that can afford to pay Cy Young...
