Not for free.
To a certain extent, all the consumer level packages for sale
have something to offer; however, if you look at the reviews in
Amazon.com or similar they get a lot of criticisms, often
users complaining that they're slow, that bugs are never fixed.
You can always download a trial and give them a try. For example,
Ulead Videostudio and Adobe Premiere Elements.

They don't have to be free, but they need to be vertile and easy to use.
Sony Vegas studio 9 is ok but uhg it could be easier to use and I have yet to figure out how to do subtitles and titles/credits on it...
Looks like the Sony product is one of the better rated
among the consumer level products. The advice I saw was to stick
with it, if you're interested in growing into some of it's advanced
functionality . Seems reasonable to me.
I did look at the trial of Videostudio. It's a bit like WMM,
but with a few more bells and whistles- I ended up uninstalling it.
For the basic stuff my son and I are playing with,
WMM (in Vista Ultimate) is good enough.
Good luck!

The version I tried was VS 9, it was pretty simple to use.
(perhaps if you look around, you'll find it)
Not familiar with the new version, so can't really comment on it.
I wiki it, COrel was once as big as adobe but they kinda fell on hard time they bought InterVideo which bought Ulead and now use the Ulead title I think..... kinda confusing 0_o
