This Weekend's Movies: To Go or Not to Go? James Hirsen, NewsMax.com Here's what Hollywood is delivering to your local movie theater this coming weekend. 1. "The Wicker Man": Remake of a 1973 British horror movie where a police detective (Nicolas Cage) encounters a strange cult while attempting to find a missing young girl on a remote island. Rated PG-13 for violence and profanity. Maybe Go (for mature horror fans)
2. "Crank": A guy is poisoned and can stay alive only by maintaining an adrenaline rush. Rated R for lots of violence, profanity, sex, nudity and drugs. No Go
3. "Idiocracy": A sci-fi comedy where the subject of an experiment (Luke Wilson) goes into induced hibernation only to awaken 1,000 years into the future, where he is considered a genius because everyone else has devolved into idiots. Rated R for use of profanity and sexually laced jokes. No Go (unless an adult seeking a time waster)

4. "Crossover": A pre-med student tries to use his basketball talent to obtain a scholarship to UCLA while spurning the NBA. Rated PG-13 for profanity and sex. Maybe Go (for teens and adults)
5. "This Film Is Not Yet Rated": Limited release exposé about the American movie ratings board; Left-of-center agenda-driven documentary. No rating (consistent with its title). Maybe Go (for those interested in the ratings board of the Motion Picture Association of America)
6. "How to Eat Fried Worms": Continuing run about a fifth-grade boy who takes on a bully. Rated PG for bullying scenes and some crude humor.
Go (sweet story offsets the unrefined comedy for families with children old enough to handle the crude humor)
