CALL OF DUTY 2 War: What is it good for? Apparently, inspiring relentlessly intense, astonishingly immersing video games. Slog and slug your way through the trenches, deserts and ruined cities of World War II while beautifully rendered snow and deadly Nazi grenades drop gently onto your helmeted, hunkered-down head. The Xbox 360's extra horsepower makes possible huge, frighteningly authentic battlefields and brutally unpredictable game play. You're never sure when a panzer will come charging right through that wall you're hiding behind...

We're in the Grand Palais at eight each morning for the day's first feature, which is followed by three to six more "unmissable" films, most of which will never get to a U.S. multiplex. We slog to press conferences and roundtable luncheons with the filmmakers. With a mountain of multilingual booklets and press releases clogging our mailboxes, we sift through more documents than the 9/11 Commission.
