New on DVD:'Salt,''Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,''Devil,''Easy A'

The truth is, once you've eaten and opened presents, there's not always a whole lot to do onChristmas Day���and that's assuming you'll be celebrating the holiday in the first place. Our suggestion: stock up on reasons to stay home.

You might start with"Salt"(PG-13, $28.96), a straightforward but energetic thriller starringAngelina Jolieas aCIAagent with a big secret. Subterfuge also has its place in"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"(PG-13, $29.98) a sleek sequel to the 1987 classic.Shia LaBeoufmakes a fine protégé, but you'll be glad to seeMichael Douglasreturn as the one-and-onlyGordon Gekko.

For late-night thrills, there's always theM. Night Shyamalan-produced horror flick"Devil"(PG-13, $29.98), about a bunch of strangers trapped in a hellish elevator. And yes, you can expect a Shyamalanian twist at the end. As for arthouse options, your best choice is the funky, slightly edgy farce"Soul Kitchen"(NR, $24.98), about the ongoing trials of a German restaurant owner.

More fun, though, is"Easy A"(PG-13, $28.95), a modern adaptation of"The Scarlet Letter."A fantasticEmma Stoneplays the notoriously fallen woman as a high school virgin, but don't let that fool you; this witty teen comedy will be appreciated by any adult who'll recognize it as theJohn Hughestribute it really is.

We can't really say the same about the hip-hop threequel"Step Up 3"(PG-13, $29.99), which only comes in the original 3D on Blu-ray ($49.99) and is definitely geared toward teens and twentysomethings."The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Volume Five"(NR, $39.99) may also require some patience from older viewers. But surely any right-thinking person will recognize that"Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus"(NR, $24.95)—starring erstwhile Urkel Jaleel White—will put even the recent"Sharktopus"to shame. Stocking stuffer, anyone?
