WALL STREET II: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS “Greed is good.” Those were the chilling words from Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in the Oscar-winning 1987 classic Wall Street. Nearly a quarter century has passed, and Gekko still hasn’t learned his lesson. Unfortunately neither has director Oliver Stone. Stone abuses a perfect opportunity to update the scandalous behavior of money changers by instead offering a fairly pedestrian soap opera surrounding Douglas with Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan and Josh Brolin. Rather than show his audience some respect, Stone warms up a leftover script. Unfortunately, it was left over from 1990. Not even worth the rental.
THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW 50TH ANNIVERSARY: BEST OF MAYBERRY Yes, it has been 50 years. But revisiting some of these classics reminds us that Andy, Barney, Opie, Gomer, Goober and Aunt Bee are as welcome as Christmas. It was in 1960 in an episode of The Danny Thomas Show that Danny was pulled over by a friendly policeman in the small town of Mayberry, N.C. And a television classic was born. This heartwarming collection includes that original episode, plus one of the best half-hours ever written for the small screen: “Opie the Birdman.” It also includes the only Christmas episode in the eight years that the series ran on CBS. —George Prentice

APPS/SCREEN KISS MY CHRISTMAS APPS Because there really is an app for everything.
FOR THE IPHONE: CHRISTMAS CAROLS by ICHRISTMAS ($.99) has music and lyrics for more than 100 carols. The stocking stuffer? It includes a shakeable jingle bell for those times when your impromptu “Jingle Bells” really needs some sound effects. COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS ($.99) is a stopwatch to the big day. Plus you can email friends so they can count down, too. CHRISTMAS SNOWGLOBE ($.99) lets you control your own snowstorm. By dragging your finger across the screen, you add more snowflakes and decide which way they fall. You can use one of three scenes: a Christmas tree, a snow bunny or a snowman. Or make your own snow globe with any picture on your iPhone.
But who’s counting, right?
AND FOR BLACKBERRY: SANTA TRACKER ($1.99) allows you to follow the big man as he flies across the globe. SLACKER RADIO (FREE) offers some holiday music channels and a sleigh-full of others. —George Prentice
