This week's movie picks are 'Bullet to the Head' and 'Paranormal Activity 4'

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 or pick up at the local Redbox.

Movies that are scheduled to hit theatres this week include:

- Bullet to the Head (Action, Suspense, R): Directed by Walter Hill and starring Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang, Sarah Shahi, Jason Momoa and Christian Slater.

- Police Patrol (Childrens, G): Directed by Rasmus A. Siversten and starring the voices of Belinda Keller, Steve Rassin, Marc Matney and Shannon Settlemyre.

- Seven Psychopaths (Action, Comedy, R): Directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson and Abbie Cornish.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “Bullet to the Head,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “Paranormal Activity 4.”

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.
