Tonight may be all about honoring the best films of the past year, but we still need to crown a box office winner for this weekend.

That award goes to Act of Valor, a movie about and starring Navy SEALS, which captured $24.7 million.

Another new release, Tyler Perry's (why is he still making films again?) Good Deeds, debuted in second place with a less-impressive $16 million, despite being packed with celebrities.

The rest of the top five was made up of holdovers: Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Safe House, and The Vow.

See it or Skip it: Immortals

Immortals in 3-D is the latest 300 knockoff hitting the silver screen. Action packed, full of gore and CGI effects this film leaves us wanting some more plot. Or another scene of Frida Pinto and Henry Cavill naked in 3-D.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.
