Greetings and welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly guide to the weekend's new movies. Tune in every Tuesday for the latest look at the upcoming weekend, and then check back on Thursday night for final projections based on actual theatre counts. As we kick off the New Year, we want to give a quick shout-out of congrats to Jeff Katz on launching his very cool new blog GeekWeek.com , which covers a lot of things besides movies and includes a number of great geek writers from various sites. We also want to say a sad farewell to Todd Hill, film critic and movie editor for the Staten Island Advance for decades and one of the Warrior's favorite colleagues since joining the junket circuit six years ago. You can read his final blog post here . He'll be missed....

A more discerning follower of the singer's career over the year might have chosen his follow-up album to describe what he was over the past few decades. But to each his own. Too soon?
