DESCRIPTION

Two big films this weekend, we have the Oscar-bait “Rush” and the animated sequel “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.” In “Rush,” Thor aka Chris Hemsworth trades his hammer for a race car in director Ron Howard and scriptwriter Peter Morgan’s take on the real-life 1970s merciless Formula 1 rivalry between James Hunt (Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). Olivia Wilde co-stars in this searing but engaging sports drama.

In “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2,” Bill Hader returns to voice the role of the genius inventor, Flint Lockwood. This time, he’s working for The Live Corp Company but he soon must leave his post because his infamous machine, the one who turned water into food in the first film, is now creating food-animal hybrids known as FOODIMALS! Also returning for the sequel are Anna Faris, James Caan, Will Forte, Andy Samberg, Benjamin Bratt, and Neil Patrick Harris.

So which one is my pick of the week? Take a look:
