Opening this Friday in theaters:
"Barbershop 2: Back in Business": Ice Cube and the cast from the first popular comedy return in the continuing adventures of the gang at a barbershop on the south side of Chicago.

Cedric the Entertainer, Eve and Queen Latifah co-star. (PG-13)
"Catch That Kid": When a 12-year-old girl's father needs money for an expensive spinal surgery after a mountain climbing accident, she recruits her friends to help her pull off an elaborate bank robbery -- unfortunately, her mom is the security chief at the high-tech bank they're going to hit. Stars Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Beals and Sam Robards. (PG)
"Miracle": Kurt Russell stars as the coach of the 1980 U.S. hockey team that pulled off an unexpected victory over the previously unstoppable Soviet team at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics. For a country still entangled in a decades-long Cold War with the Soviet Union, the miracle victory had patriotic and symbolic ramifications for America. (PG)
