It’s time to start thinking about Christmas presents, and though none of this week’s new releases received all that much love from Criticker users, there are some interesting gift ideas for your friends and family. You could give Wanted to your horny, Angelina-obsessed little brother, Prince Caspian to your bratty, easy-to-please niece, The X-Files to your slightly behind-the-times father, Step Brothers to your … step brother, and Rise of the Footsoldier goes to your thuggish British uncle. There! Holiday shopping is done.
