Two men enter, one man leaves in the MMA-themed Warrior, an irresistibly corny and completely addictive male melodrama/fight movie.  Also out in theaters this weekend is Steven Soderbergh’s excellent virus procedural Contagion.  Reviews of both movies lead off my round-up of TWoP stories from the past week.
