The jury’s out as to whether or not the "High School Musical" crowd will be out to see Vanessa Hudgens in "Sucker Punch" this weekend.  The dark, Zack Snyder-directed drama follows a young girl on her fantastical path out of a mental institution, and into thigh-high socks, a mini-skirt and lots of weapons. 

The arty folks will likely be flocking to see Julian Schnabel’s "Miral," an account of a young Palestinian girl thrown into the Middle Eastern world’s problems.     

The second installation of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules" will hit theaters as well, putting Greg back into his whirlwind of problems, all for viewers’ amusement. 

And for those looking for petty crime and working class Caucasian violence, the release of "White Irish Drinkers" will be good company.

If none of these films cover your bases, there’s last week's number one film
"Limitless," "Rango" and "The Lincoln Lawyer" from the past weeks.
