This week's movie picks are 'The Legend of Hercules' and 'Closed Circuit'

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.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “The Legend of Hercules,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “Closed Circuit.”
