Now that the Olympics are (probably) over you can finally resume your normal lives and get back to the movies. There are a few new choices for entertainment this weekend. For the action fans you can check out The Bourne Legacy which stars Jeremy Renner as the new Jason Bourne. We also have a full review for the film here. If you’re looking for comedy make sure to see The Campaign. This movie starts Will Ferrel and Zach Galifianakis (although anyone familiar with his standup will want to call him Seth Galifianakis for the whole film) as political opponents, hijinks ensue. Drama fans should see Hope Springs, word on the street is it is a pretty good movie. You can see trailers for all the films after the jump.
