**RED is my staff recommendation for the week. As great as Jackass 3D sounds, I'm going to have to suggest the A-list trio of Mirren, Willis, and Freeman over Johnny Knoxville. RED may not win any of them any more awards, but as elderly, retired CIA agents come back for one last fight, this movie really is the work of a lifetime. And really the whole movie comes down to a couple questions: how many times can Helen Mirren shoot large guns with her lovely British accent before it gets old? How many 'being over the hill, but better than the young-un's' jokes will there be? And will Bruce Willis survive the leaps out of moving vehicles?
