My movie picks this week are 'The Adjustment Bureau' and '127 Hours'

It’s Wednesday, so today I give you my weekly list of movies that will open in theatres this week as well as a list of movies that will be released this week on DVD.

I hope this will serve as a useful guide as to what’s going on this week if you happen to be near a movie theatre or if you’re looking for something to drop into your NetFlix queue.

Movies that are scheduled to hit theatres this Friday include:

The Adjustment Bureau (Romance, Science Fiction, Drama, PG-13): Directed by George Nolfi and starring Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie, Terence Stamp and John Slattery.

Beastley (Romance, Fantasy, PG-13): Directed by Daniel Barnz and starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Mary-Kate Olsen, Neil Patrick Harris and Peter Krause.

New DVD releases for the week of March 1 include:

Burlesque (Musicals, Drama, PG-13): Directed by Steven Antin and starring Christina Aguilera, Cher, Eric Dane, Cam Gigandet and Stanley Tucci.

Love and Other Drugs (Comedy, Romance, Drama, R): Directed by Edward Zwick and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Judy Greer, Katheryn Winnick and Hank Azaria.

What If… (Drama, Family, PG): Directed by Dalla Jenkins and starring Kevin Sorbo, Kristy Swanson, John Ratzenberger, Debby Ryan and Kristin Minter.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “The Adjustment Bureau,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “127 Hours.”

In the end, let me know if you get a chance to watch any of the new movies in theatres this week or if you’ve already seen any of the movies that have just been released on DVD. What did you think about them? Which would you recommend? Let us know in the comments section below.
