*With Hollywood entering its annual post-Oscar doldrums, only two new wide-release features will hit theaters Friday. Pressed to choose, we'd go with Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li sight unseen, but we're saving our ticket money for next week's Watchmen premiere.

Based on the popular martial arts videogame series, The Legend of Chun-Li picks up where Jean-Claude Van Damme's original *Street Fighter *flick left off in 1994. Fights choreographed by Matrix man Dion Lam should prove formidable.

Meanwhile, a poll of 5,000 moviegoers by online ticket outlet Fandango reports that 53 percent of respondents can't wait to see the new Jonas Brothers 3-D concert flick. Harrison Ford's immigration drama *Crossing Over *opens on a limited number of screens.
