My movie picks this week are 'Thor' and 'The Green Hornet'

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.

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