    What about Cooties? That was my favorite game growing up. I already have it cast: Kirsten Dunst and Jeremy Piven.

    Coming soon - Risk! The goal of the game is "world domination," through the elimination of the other players. Whose army will fill the map first? Will it be Forge W. Smush and Pony Flair's Army o' Angels - or Obama gin Pardon and the Forces of Evil?


    "Using area movement, Risk ignores limitations such as the vast size of the world and the logistics of long campaigns." - The Guardian, 5 stars


    "Neverending." - New York Times, 4 stars


    "Needs more Cheney." - Time Out, 2 stars


    [FUN FACT: It was invented by a French film director]

    Boggle

    Logline: The long-lost uncle of brainiac diamond-in-the-rough Priscilla Speller (Drew Barrymore) has left his niece a fortune in his will. To claim her inheritance, however, she must spend a week at a creepy camp on the Louisiana bayou. Mysterious local alligator wrangler Steve Wamperson (Harry Connick Jr.), steals Priscilla's heart--but will he also steal her soul? This horromantic dramedy soars to a terrifying climax on board an out of control fan boat as Priscilla and a hideous yet somehow familiar swamp creature match wits over the iconic board game. Do you see "love"?

    Chess: An understated, intricate political thriller detailing life at court. Plot centers around the interaction between loyal bishop and a knight from a rival kingdom. There's a huge plot twist at the end when a lowly pawn is raised to a queen.

    Pizza Party - starring Miley Cyrus as a rich girl desperate to have the most amazing sweet 16 ever (being filmed for Mtv) when her dad loses all his money in the stock market. With some ingenuity (and a few boxes of pizza from dorky love interest/delivery boy Zac Efron, wearing glasses), can she make her dream Sweet 16 into a reality?

    I would TOTALLY go see your version of Sorry. Actually, I think Uncle Wiggily is ripe for the pickin' myself.


    Think about it: Tim Burton at the helm and Johnny Depp as Uncle Wiggily (and Helena Bonham Carter as Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, natch), trying to make it through a hellish, drug-fueled nightmarescape full of terrifying beasts (Doug Jones as Skeezicks; Michael Clarke Duncan as Pipsisewah) to the home of Dr. Possum (Pruitt Taylor Vince) and safety.

    They've already made a movie out of "Twister." It starred Helen Hunt, remember?


    As a fan of the game, I have to say: They really took a few too many liberties in changing it for cinematic purposes.
