that will open in theatres this week as well as a list of movies that will be
released this week on DVD.

something to drop into your NetFlix queue or pick up at the local Redbox.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it
would be “Devil’s Due,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it
would be “Carrie.”
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?
