The week's movie picks are 'The Quite Ones' and 'A Farewell to Fools'

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:

- Brick Mansions (Action, Crime, PG-13): Directed by Camille Delamarre and starring Paul Walker, RZA, David Belle, Robert Maillet and Carlo Rota.

- The Suspect (Action): Directed by Stuart Connelly and starring Mekhi Phifer, William Sadler, Sterling K. Brown, Derek Roche and James McCaffrey.

- The Trials of Muhammad Ali (Documentary, Sports): Directed by Bill Siegel.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “The Quite Ones,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “A Farewell to Fools.”

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.
