Although the latest "Star Wars" movie is mere weeks away, there's also a hefty cult following built around "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Douglas Adams' paperback classic finally makes it to the big screen, starring Martin Freeman of "The Office" as earth's lone survivor who joins a cast of wayward intergalactic travelers.

Vin Diesel opts out of "XXX: State of the Union." Instead, Ice Cube handles the sequel duties as a National Security Agency recruit who tracks down a military splinter group that is attempting to overthrow the U.S. government.

And at the art house is the comedy-caper "Millions." Two young brothers stumble upon a duffle bag filled with hundreds of thousands of British pounds that they have a week to spend before the country switches totally to the Euro.
