TGIF! There's a ton of great movies out this month, and this weekend is no exception. Will Smith and Jim Carrey will go head to head at the box office this weekend with their highly anticipated movies.

Who will reign at the box office? We'll have to wait until Monday to find out, but if you are planning on visiting the theaters, here are this weeks new releases:

Seven Pounds: Ben Thomas is an IRS agent with a fateful secret who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.

Yes Man: A man signs up for a self-help program based on one simple principle: say yes to everything... and anything. At first, unleashing the power of "yes" transforms his life in amazing and unexpected ways, but he soon discovers that opening up his life to endless possibilities can have its drawbacks.

The Tale of Despereaux: Tiny and graced with oversized ears, Despereaux was born too big for his little world. Refusing to live his life cowering, he befriends a Princess named Pea and learns to read (rather than eat) books -- reveling in stories of knights, dragons and fair maidens.
