It feels exhaustingly redundant to make Charlie Sheen jokes at this point, but you have to admit the brains behind "Jackass 3D" (R, $34.98) couldn't have picked a better week to release their ode to male inanity. And if anybody's got tiger blood in him, it's got to be Johnny Knoxville, who can do things no ordinary mortal should ever attempt. The setups are a little too predictable this time around, but there are plenty of moments that'll have you laughing and wincing simultaneously.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is newly-minted Oscar winner "Inside Job" (PG-13, $28.95), the Matt Damon-narrated documentary about the global economic collapse. For something in between—requiring a few brain cells, in other words, but not too much effort—try "Morning Glory" (PG-13, $29.98), a fair romantic comedy that relies entirely on its leads. Diane Keaton is especially strong as the morning talk show host paired with Harrison Ford, and overseen by go-getter Rachel McAdams.
Considering the talent behind it, Paul Haggis's thriller "The Next Three Days" (PG-13, $29.95) was a surprising underperformer. But with Russell Crowe as the husband determined to break wife Elizabeth Banks out of jail—with help from grifter Liam Neesonit's worth a night on the couch.
So is the intimate family drama "Every Day" (R, $27.97), which features another wobbly script paired with a strong cast. Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt are the Queens parents struggling to raise a family, while Carla Gugino is the free-spirit who offers an easy way out.
Things are slow on the small screen front—unless you happen to be nine. In that case, by all means text your BFFs, raid the fridge, and settle in to say a tearful (if now-anticlimactic) goodbye to the old Miley with "Hannah Montana Forever: Final Season" (G, $29.99).
