Movies opening this weekend:
» "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": An average British guy hitches a ride on a passing spaceship after the Earth is destroyed (to make way for a hyperspace bypass) in the movie adaptation of Douglas Adams's popular comedic sci-fi books. Martin Freeman, better known from his role in the hit English series "The Office," stars, along with Mos Def, Sam Rockwell, Zooey Deschanel and Bill Nighy. (PG)
» "XXX: State of the Union": Rapper-actor-producer Ice Cube steps in for Vin Diesel as the titular rebel-hero in the sequel to the action flick hit. But whereas Diesel's agent aced the giant slalom and saved the world from Eurotrash villains, Cube's incarnation is a streetwise Special Forces officer sprung from military prison to help foil a planned government coup by a splinter group in the nation's capital. Samuel L. Jackson and Willem Dafoe co-star, and Lee Tamahori of "Once Were Warriors" and the James Bond "Die Another Day" directs. (PG-13)
