This week's movie picks are 'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones' and 'Don Jon'

It’s Wednesday, so today I give you my weekly list of movies that will open in theaters 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 theater 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 theaters this week include:

- The Best Offer (Crime, Drama, R): Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore and starring Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess, Donald Sutherland, Sylvia Hoeks and Philip Jackson.

- Zombie Hamlet (Comedy, Horror, Not Rated): Directed by John Murlowski and starring Travis Wester, Jason Mewes, Shelley Long, John Amos and June Lockhart.

If I could only watch one movie at the theater this week, it would be “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “Don Jon.”


In the end, let me know if you get a chance to watch any of the new movies in theaters 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.
