...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.

France is not at all threatened by “massive immigration from countries of the Third world,” as Adomanis states, unreflectively parroting one of French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen??s pet arguments.

...What’s more, the inside of the body of the pen is a game in which one must guide a silver ball through a maze, much like the games we all got as party-favors when we were six. 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...
