Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. also elevate the movie around them, as a homeless musician and the journalist who helps him in "The Soloist" (PG-13, $29.98). And there are other actors working hard this week, too: Beyoncé, Ali Larter and Idris Elba update "Fatal Attraction" with "Obsessed" (PG-13, $28.96), while Sienna Miller, Peter Sarsgaard and Nick Nolte take on Michael Chabon's '80s-set novel "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" (R, $29.99).
