Weekend Showdown: The Eye Patch vs. a Relapse

Forget about Terminator: Salvation hitting theaters this weekend. The really big releases are happening in stores everywhere on Tuesday.
OK, we're not serious, but we are back with our weekly presentation of what's coming your way this week and curious to see which way you'll throw your support.
Will it be hip-hop's comeback kid, Eminem's sixth album or Tom Cruise's controversial Nazi flick?
Em's already drummed up plenty of press for his new album, Relapse, resorting back to his old tricks—stepping on toes and insulting loads of celebs on the way. So should we even still care? Probably. Relapse is the rapper's first release in five years and is said to have been his saving grace after a lengthy battle with drugs and obesity. Plus we're interested to see what he's come up with this time around.
Cruise's Valkyrie was huge before it even hit theaters. Not that anyone really knew a thing about the film, other than it was constantly surrounded by production woes and legal troubles. And while it never achieved the big financial success of other holiday releases, Valkyrie had its share of rave reviews and Tom Cruise in an eye patch. That's something even Eminem can't touch.
So who's it going to be? You tell us.
