If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.”

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.
