Kind of a light week, but there seems to be just a little something for everyone this Tuesday: A classic piece of stand-up comedy, the first of two war films from Clint Eastwood, a family-friendly remake of an equine classic, yet another sequel to yet another J-horror remake, a Tara Reid horror movie that went straight-to-download, a noir-esque period piece mystery and an indie comedy about the dangers of wandering eyes.

Eddie Murphy: Delirious -- OK, so it debuted on HBO and not in theaters, but it's still one of the most drop-dead hilarious comedy concerts I've ever seen. Folks of my approximate generation still use phrases from this concert in everyday conversation! Most definitely NOT the Eddie Murphy you know from Dr. Dolittle, The Nutty Professor and Daddy Day Care, but a really, really funny Eddie Murphy. Remember that guy? I sure do. Extras include a pair of deleted scenes and a 40-minute interview between Byron Allen and the normally reclusive Mr. Murphy.

Flags of Our Fathers -- The first of Clint Eastwood's two WWII stories (the second one being Letters from Iwo Jima) is told from the American perspective. Critical consensus indicates that the second film is actually quite a bit more successful -- but it'd take a lot to keep me away from a new Clint Eastwood film, let alone two. Far as I can tell there are no extras whatsoever included on this DVD, which makes me think there'll be a big, swanky 2-disc edition somewhere down the line.

Flicka -- Alison Lohman, Maria Bello and Tim McGraw star in this cuddly sweet adaptation of the old-school "girl and a horse" story. Haven't seen it, have no real plans to, sorry. Extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette, three deleted scenes, a gag reel and one of Mr. McGraw''s music videos.

Well it seems Christopher Nolan had a few tricks up his sleeve this weekend, as The Prestige out-dueled The Departed and Flags of Our Fathers for the top spot at the box office with $14.8 million. Pic, which stars Christan Bale, Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson opened to mixed reviews (our own Ryan Stewart said, "This isn't a movie, it's a game of Concentration" ), though that didn't stop people from shelling out the dough.

However, in the case of Clint Eastwood's film, negative reviews and a cast full of folks with the name, "Who is that again?" might have hurt its numbers, seeing as it failed to knock Martin Scorsese's Irish mob drama (currently in its third week) out of the weekend's second spot ($13.7 million), a place it seems to feel secure in. Eastwood's World War II epic settled for a somewhat disappointing third place with $10.2 million, though it held its own against the openings of his previous two films (Mystic River $10.4 million and Million Dollar Baby $12.3 million). (See, that's what happens when you don't have Tom Hanks in your war movie.) In its fourth week, the animated family comedy Open Season continued to do damage, securing the weekend's fourth spot with $8 million, bringing its total gross thus far to $69.6 million. Unfortunately, last week's number one flick The Grudge 2 ($7.7 million) took a scary dive at the box office and fell into a tie with Flicka (7.7 million) to round out the top five.

Full numbers after the jump.

In this day and age of over-the-top CGI animation and stop-motion technology, how refreshing it was to take my daughter and her friend to a Saturday morning screening of Flicka. There's no CGI in Flicka, no nifty special effects, no cool characters destined to end up as toys in kiddie meals at your local fast food restaurant. Flicka is one of those family films I might have seen in my own girlhood: A simple story about a misfit girl, an unwanted horse, and a father who doesn't see that his daughter is more like him he wants to admit.

This adaptation of the 1941 Mary O'Hara book My Friend Flicka is an updating and reworking of the classic tale. The basic elements of the story remain the same, but in the 2006 version, the role of young Ken McLaughlin (played by Roddy McDowell in the 1943 version of the film) has become Katy McLaughlin (Alison Lohman), a high school student who spends most of her time at her stuffy Wyoming boarding school daydreaming about her family's ranch and horses. Katy, the only daughter in a long line of male ranchers, is a bit of a rebel; she doesn't finish her history final exam because she's convinced the teachers only want to her to parrot what they've taught in class, not hear what she really thinks. Unfortunately, Katy's failure to pass the exam means the headmaster wants her to repeat the entire year -- and with her family already sacrificing financially to send her to a private school, this is bad news.
