The Sunday Drive: 10/24/10

3. Paranormal Activity 2
Katie's back! If you wet your pants at last year's Paranormal Activity then you might want to bring a diaper for the sequel. Tod Williams's follow-up to the horror hit ups the ante by inflicting an entire family, including a helpless newborn baby, to the terror of the world's most passive aggressive demonic spirit. While the scares are much the same as before, PA creator Oren Peli has found an ingenious way to link the two films, turning his once low-budget genre flick into a potential powerhouse franchise.
2. Jackass 3D
You've been watching them get run over by bulls and doused with human feces for ten years, but you've never seen it quite like this as the Jackass crew takes their antics to the next level in glorious 3D!
1. Red
The most fun you'll have all season as Bruce Willis leads a cadre of AARP certified folks against their former CIA masters in a violent war for revenge.

DVD Pick of the Week: Predators
If you're like me you've been waiting 23 years for a proper sequel to Predator. Nothing against Danny Glover, but Predator 2? Not so much.  The Alien vs. Predator movies never felt up to par and never captured just how awesome the predators really are. Robert Rodriguez knows what we wanted, and alongside director Nimrod Antal, finally gave us what we've been begging for. Predators is a true homage to the 1987 classic in every way, all the while re-establishing the franchise for itself with a brand new hero(Adrien Brody) a whole new world(an entire hunting planet), and new never  before asked questions about the predators themselves.
