What's new on Friday, April 24:

"The Soloist": Jamie Foxx is the homeless man and former Julliard-trained musical prodigy; Robert Downey Jr. is the Los Angeles Times reporter who tells his true story.

"Obsessed": A successful businessman has a beautiful wife at home (Beyonce, no less). But then a hot new psycho-temp at the office (Ali Larter of "Heroes") stalks him, and, well, Beyonce is not having any of that.

"Fighting": Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard star in this tale of a young counterfeiter finding trouble in New York's underground bare-knuckle brawling scene.

"Ghostbusters": If you ain't afraid of no ghost, you might want to check out the final selection in AMC Southroads 20's spring classics series, running through April 30.

"Everlasting Moments": A gorgeous period piece opening at Circle Cinema on Friday tells the story of a woman whose strength keeps her family together in 1900s Sweden, and who finds a creative outlet in photography that gives her a new vision of her life.

"Fanboys": This low-budget flick is for comic-book fanatics of the title, telling the story of five pals who try to break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in 1998 to sneak a peek at the first new "Star Wars" film in 16 years.

What's new at the discount house on Friday:

Two of this year's biggest hits are the action flicks "Gran Torino" with Clint Eastwood and "Taken" with Liam Neeson, opening at both Movies 8 and Supersaver Cinema, as is "Confessions of a Shopaholic."

Movies 8 also debuts the Renee Zellweger romantic comedy "New in Town" and Daniel Craig's action-packed Holocaust tale "Defiance."
