New Movies Out This Weekend – Tyler Perry, Water For Elephants, African Cats [Trailers]

Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family, Water For Elephants, and African Cats are the new movies this weekend.  Tyler Perry has been sparring with Spike Lee a bit about whether the Madea character is all that helpful to the African American community, Water For Elephants hasn't been killing it with the critics, and African Cats...well Samuel L. Jackson narrates it and it has African Cats.
