...Vinci Code and X-Men: The Last Stand. But its usual fare is provocative or perplexing films from top directors. Three of the attention-grabbing entries: Volver Pedro Almodvar blends ghost story, revenge drama and all-girl comedy in a tale of courageous, if loco, sisterhood.

But just like those party-favor games, the pen??s game proved to be too difficult and frustrating, and soon we jumped on the pen shouting, “Who’s smart enough to solve a maze now?” We then killed the nearest balloon animal-maker with an arm we ripped...
