On Wednesdays, we preview all of the upcoming new wide and limited releases hitting the theaters the coming weekend. On Fridays, we’ll now tell you what you should see. We pose two questions each week to our contributors and their responses are posted below.

1. Which of the two new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
Avoid Judy Moody at all costs, which means Super 8 is your go-to choice. But if you haven’t seen it yet, go check out X-Men: First Class instead.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
While I’m not particular enthused about any of these, Bride Flight might be ok, but if I were putting money down to see a film, The Trip would probably be the better option.

1. Which of the two new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
Super 8, which could be another E.T., or at least another Goonies.
Tripp Burton
1. Which of the two new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
Super 8 seems to offer the most upside.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
Nothing sticks out to me.

“Super 8” looks like an amazing old-fashioned sci-fi thriller in the vein of Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” I’ll be there for sure.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
I’ve heard good things about “The Troll Hunter,” so if you want to stop by your local art house theater, it might be worth a look.
