You’re a gamer. While you’re at school or work, you think about games. When you get any free time, you’re thinking about games while playing other games. Still, you’ve got to keep up appearances when out in public, so we will list the top 5 movies you’ve got to check out this week in order to prevent you from wasting time when you could be tackling another list of trophies on your PlayStation 3. These movies will come from a variety of sources including Netflix, Blu-ray, theaters and may include a television show or two as we see fit. We’ve also got the return of a new film you’ll want to avoid this week.
5. Wilfred (Netflix)
Netflix recently added the hit FX series Wilfred to Instant View, and it is currently one of the funniest television shows available to watch on the streaming service. Wilfred stars the amazing Elijah Wood who produces great performances each and every episode as the massively depressed Ryan who happens to see his neighbor’s dog, Wilfred, as an Australian man in a dog costume which leads to many bizarre scenarios. The show is currently nearing the end of its second season on FX, but you can catch the entire first season on Netflix with hope that the second season will arrive in the near future.
4. Finding Nemo 3D (Theaters)
Disney will be releasing Finding Nemo back into the waters of you local theater this weekend for the re-release of Finding Nemo now in 3D. If you’ve never seen the film before, you’re missing out on what many people consider the best Disney films of all-time and one of the best films period. The now classic film presents a true underdog story and a message that sometimes you have to give your love ones space in order to see them truly flourish when an overprotective clownfish is separated from his son, Nemo, and goes on an adventure to save him while Nemo attempts to make his own escape from his captors. Finding Nemo is a great one that should only be made better with new 3D animations.
