This week's movie picks are 'Breaking Dawn - Part 2' and 'The Watch'

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 week include:

- Anna Karenina (Drama, Romance, R): Directed by Joe Wright and starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Kelly Macdonald, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Matthew MacFadyen.

- Price Check (Comedy, Drama): Directed by Michael Walker and starring Parker Posey, Eric Mabius, Matt Servitto, Annie Parisse and Finn Donoghue.

- The Watch (Comedy, Science Fiction, R): Directed by Akiva Schaffer and starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, Richard Ayoade and Billy Crudup.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “The Watch.”

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.
