Box Office Guru Preview: Don't You Dare Mess with Beyoncé's Man
The environment needs saving so Hollywood is doing its part to go green by opening recycled versions of Fatal Attraction and Fight Club in hopes of attracting young adults. In a battle of genre divisions, Sony's Screen Gems unit offers the relationship thriller Obsessed starring Beyoncé Knowles while Rogue Pictures counters with the Channing Tatum vehicle Fighting released through Universal. Paramount goes for an older audience with the Robert Downey Jr.-Jamie Foxx drama The Soloist and Disney aims for families with the nature documentary Earth. Titles are short and succinct this weekend and overall it should be another up session for the film industry during the final frame before the highly-anticipated launch of the summer movie season.

RT Critical Consensus: "Sky High" Soars, "Stealth" Crashes, and Diane Lane and John Cusack Go Dateless
The willing suspension of disbelief is often essential to the moviegoing experience. This week's wide releases provide no such relief. We will be asked to believe that a fighter plane develops its own intelligence (and downloads mp3s -- most likely by such bands as Jet and U2). We will be asked to believe any kid with superpowers would have a rough time in high school. And -- perhaps the greatest stretch -- we are asked to believe that there would be a moment in history in which both Diane Lane and John Cusack would be dateless. Which films do the critics believe you should see?
