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 three new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
Not wanting to see through a tween movie despite having some nice visuals, I plan on checking out yet another alien invasion movie in Battle: Los Angeles. 2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
While Certified Copy is the kind of film serious film enthusiasts should check out, I’m interested in seeing what they do with Elektra Luxx and Monogamy.

Red Riding Hood is the only one of the week’s wide releases that looks like it might actually be interesting. 2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
Certified Copy shows promise, and the new Jane Eyre looks like it might be intriguing. Instead of the documentary on The Boys in the Band, I’d recommend the actual film on DVD with an accompanying documentary that looks suspiciously like the new theatrical release.

They all look pretty mindless, but I’ll give Battle: Los Angeles the biggest benefit of the doubt. 2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
Kiarostami is one of our modern masters, so Certified Copy is the most necessary viewing
