Now that the earth has been taken over by vampires, Blade joins a group of vampire hunters, The Nightstalkers, in an effort to get Earth back in the clutches of human hands.

Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason (R)
The first Bridget Jones movie was charmingly foible-filled, from Bridget’s drunken attempts at karaoke during the office party to the unforgettable fire pole scene. Renee Zellweger packed on a few pounds and aced her role as the quirky Brit chick. The sequel is sure to see Bridg through more hysterical embarrassment and romantic blunders while choosing between her two cute British blokes played by Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell (sigh).

What’s a holiday season without a cheesy family comedy complete with old standby actors like Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis?
