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.

- Another Earth (Drama, Science Fiction, PG-13): Directed by Mike Cahill and starring William Mapother, Brit Marling, Jordan Baker, Flint Beverage and Robin Taylor.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “Captain America: The First Avenger,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “Limitless.”
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.
I really wanted to like this movie. After all the terrible superhero movies that have been released lately, I was somehow hoping that "Captain America" would be different. It wasn't.
