"Beauty and the Beast" is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast's hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar (R) winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle's eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston's long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe (R) nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award (R) winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts. Directed by Oscar (R) winner Bill Condon based on the 1991 animated film, "Beauty and the Beast" is produced by Mandeville Films' David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, with eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, who won two Academy Awards (R) (Best Original Score and Best Song) for the 1991 animated film, providing the score, which will include new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as several new songs written by Menken and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice. "Beauty and the Beast" will be released in U.S. theaters on March 17, 2017.</span></b></span><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class=m-3584883166160462980gmail-subtle><b><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#787878;background:#FEF7CD'>Critics Consensus:</span></i></b></span><span class=gmailmsg><b><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#333333;background:#FEF7CD'> With an enchanting cast, beautifully crafted songs, and a painterly eye for detail, </span></i></b></span><em><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#333333;background:#FEF7CD;font-style:normal'>Beauty and the Beast</span></b></em><span class=gmailmsg><b><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#333333;background:#FEF7CD'> offers a faithful yet fresh retelling that honors its beloved source material.</span></i></b></span><b><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#073763'><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:red'>NOTE FROM SKIP: This is everything you want it to be, folks!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>BEAUTY & THE BEAST</span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> (PG)</span></b><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>FRI: (4:00) – 7:00<br>SAT: (1:00) – (4:00) – 7:00<br>SUN: (1:00) – (4:00)<br>MON, TUES & WED: 6:30 (ENDS WEDNESDAY!!)<br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br></span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>SCARLETT JOHANSSON’S EPIC NEW ADVENTURE!!<br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><img border=0 width=278 height=457 id="Picture_x0020_10" src="cid:image013.jpg@01D2A8B4.D4D98310" alt=GHOSTINTHESHELL.JPG></span></b><b><span style='font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br></span></b><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>GHOST IN THE SHELL</span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></b><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>(PG13) <br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'>In the near future, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals.
