REEL TIME: Meryl turns out a snorefest and Dolly gets upstaged

This week's new releases may include big-screen heavy-hitters like Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster and Mark Wahlberg, but you should be leery about letting the big-name hype draw you toward the ticket booth.

REEL TIME: Meryl turns out a snorefest and Dolly gets upstaged

5. Beauty and the Beast is being re-released this weekend in 3D, but we can't imagine why dancing teacups jumping out of the screen will make it any more appealing to us already-seen-it / already-grown folk. Take your niece or nephew if you have one. Otherwise, enjoy this charming haiku: In this version, Beast / gets infested with bed bugs / Belle has him put down. (UA Pearl, UA Grant, UA Riverview)
