Weekend Movie Preview — Five Flicks in Five Clicks (PHOTOS & VIDEOS)

Between tentpole blockbusters, limited releases and film festivals, hundreds of movies are released every year, often a dozen at a time.

Friday almost invariably unleashes a whole new set of choices on moviegoers, who not only have to choose from these options, but remember what all of them are, while deflecting critical acclaim, marketing muscle — and of course just the business of their daily lives.

Five Flicks in Five Clicks is Celebuzz’s way of whittling down those choices to a comfortable number.

This week, The Hobbit will test its box office mettle as Tom Cruise attempts to continue his winning streak with Jack Reacher. Meanwhile, the comedies This Is 40 and The Guilt Trip duke it out, pitting Seth Rogen against his former director and mentor, Judd Apatow, even as Pixar throws its 3D version of Monsters, Inc. into the mix.

Launch the gallery to see how Celebuzz is breaking down the week’s top films.
