My pick of the week is 'The Last Exorcism'

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

I hope this will serve as a useful guide as to what’s going 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 Last Exorcism (PG-13)
- Takers (PG-13): Matt Dillon
- Centurion (R)
- Mesrine: Killer Instinct (R)
- Change of Plans (Not Rated)

New DVD releases for the week of August 24 include:
- George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead (R)
- The Square (R)
- Dorian Gray (R): Colin Firth, Ben Barnes
- $5 a Day (PG-13): Christopher Walken, Sharon Stone
- City Island (PG-13): Andy Garcia, Alan Arkin
- The Back-Up Plan (PG-13): Jennifer Lopez
- The Bad Mother’s Handbook (Not Yet Rated): Catherine Tate

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “The Last Exorcism,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead.”

In the end, let us 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.
