My movie picks this week are 'Drive Angry 3D' and 'Due Date'

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.

Movies that are scheduled to hit theatres this Friday include:

Drive Angry 3D (Suspense, Action, R): Directed by Patrick Lussier and starring Nicholas Cage, Amber Heard, David Morse, William Fichtner and Christa Campbell.

Justin Bieber: Never Say Never: The Director’s Fan Cut 3D (Family, Musicals, G): Directed by Jon M. Chu and starring Justin Bieber, Sean Kingston, Miley Cyrus and Ludacris.

Psych 9 (Horror, Suspense, Drama, Thriller, R): Starring Sara Foster, Cary Elwes, Michael Biehn, Gabriel Mann and Colleen Camp.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “Drive Angry 3D,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “Due Date.”

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.
