Having a good, old time"Red" joins a long line of recent movies whose upper-middle-aged stars refuse to go gently into genteel cinematic dotage. But this adaptation of a graphic novel series gets into a cool, sophisticated swing. The one-liners zing right along with the bullets in a playful pas de deux of mayhem. Bruce Willis plays Frank, a former black ops agent now living in quiet desperation in Cleveland. When he is unexpectedly visited by a lethal "wet team," he realizes his life is in danger, and he seeks to reassemble his old cohort of covert assassins: Joe (Morgan Freeman), whom Frank busts out of a nursing home in New Orleans; Marvin (John Malkovich), who's living in flashback-induced paranoia; and Victoria (Helen Mirren), who arranges roses and bakes tea cakes. The DVD and Blu-ray (Summit, $29-$35) include commentary, deleted scenes and pop-up trivia.

Drawing up fun on DS"Pictionary" ($30 for Nintendo DS; rated Everyone) is a natural fit for the DS, with the touch screen and stylus handily standing in for the pencil and paper of the guess-the-drawing board game. Up to four players can participate in a game by passing a single system around or connecting multiple DS units and "Pictionary" copies. Solo players can try to guess what the computer is drawing, although the game often draws an image that could be referred to by multiple terms, but will only accept one. Other modes: Pictionary Mania assigns a restriction to each drawing -- a player might have to draw a picture blind or using only straight lines. In Pictionary Quiz, players try to guess what the drawings are without the board-game component. Players can also create custom clues.
