The beloved Disney tale gets a reboot on the big screen with a blend of live-action and CG magic. Emma Watson and Dan Stevens star as Belle and the Beast, with Luke Evans playing the role of Gaston, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, and Kevin Kline as Belle's father, Maurice.

POWER RANGERS

Not yet rated | In Theaters 3/24 | Ok for Kids 8+ | Lionsgate | Reel Preview: 3.5 of 5 Reels

Saban's "Power Rangers" follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But they'll have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it's too late. Directed by Dean Israelite, this movie stars Bryan Cranston, Bill Hader, Elizabeth Banks, and Dacre Montgomery.

THE BOSS BABY

Rated PG for some mild rude humor | In Theaters 3/31 | Ok for Kids 6+ | DreamWorks | Reel Preview: 4 of 5 Reels

DreamWorks Animation and the director of "Madagascar" invite you to meet a most unusual baby. He wears a suit, speaks with the voice and wit of Alec Baldwin, and stars in the animated comedy "The Boss Baby." It's the hilariously universal story about how a new baby's arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7-year-old named Tim. With a heartfelt message about the importance of family, this cute family film is fun for both kids and grownups. Directed by Tom McGrath, the voice cast also includes Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow and Miles Bakshi.
