5 Movies Gamers Must Check Out This Week

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.

3. The Sapphire Collection: Braveheart/Gladiator/Saving Private Ryan (Blu-ray)
An all new Blu-ray collection arrives at retailers today bringing three of the best films of all-time to the high definition era of movie watching for one low price. For around $35, you can purchase this great collection that includes the films Braveheart, Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan–a must have for any gamer. Watch Mel Gibson battle for his country’s freedom as one of his best roles, William Wallace, in Braveheart. Russell Crowe fights for his own freedom and redemption for his family, not completely unlike Kratos in the God of War series, in Gladiator. Of course, Saving Private Ryan is perfect for those of you that can’t get enough of military first-person shooters, so make sure you squeeze this collection into your busy week of gaming this week!

2. Sons of Anarchy (TV)
Sons of Anarchy is an amazing show and one of the best currently airing on any station. The FX series will premiere the first episode of the fifth season beginning tonight with the introduction of new characters and a shocking conclusion and fallout of the fourth season’s cliff hanger left to resolve. If you’ve yet to check out the show, you can find the first three seasons of Sons of Anarchy on Netflix and watch the fourth season online, or you could, you know, actually purchase the season on Blu-ray or DVD.

1. Resident Evil: Retribution (Theater)
Finally, the wait is over, and Resident Evil: Retribution will be hitting theaters around the world in 3D this weekend! This is one that most gamers have been looking forward to since the end of Resident Evil: Afterlife, and there are plenty of Resident Evil fans that just can’t get enough of this series. Milla Jovovich reprises her role as Resident Evil protagonist Alice in director Paul W.S. Anderson’s new film where things aren’t what the seem to say the least. Alice will team up with old friends and new to take down the Umbrella corporation and the hordes of the undead in the new film, and Resident Evil: Retribution is shaping up to be the most action-packed films ever released to the franchise. Make sure you check it out this weekend and let us know what you’re watching in the comments section below!
