We have a number of films to choose from this week with a lot of solid potential. The stand-out film of this week is Kick-Ass, it’s almost impossible to find something bad to say about it. If comedy is more your thing then you are in luck. First we have Derrick Borte’s dramedy or “rom-com”, The Joneses starring the getting-younger-everyday Ms. Demi Moore and David Duchovny.

If you’re looking for a more obvious, laugh out loud, comedy then there is Neil LaBute’s film, Death at a Funeral. The film stars the always hilarious Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan or you could just rent the original that the film ripped off.
Check out all the films coming out this week:
