Can’t decide what to see this weekend?

Bowling Green Daily News film critic Micheal Compton is here to tell you the best – and worst – now playing at your local cineplex.

Beauty and the Beast (B-)

One of the most beloved Disney animated films of all time gets the live-action treatment as “Beauty and the Beast” arrives on the big screen 26 years after its predecessor became the first animated film to earn a best picture nomination.

While this release is in a no-win situation trying to compare to the 1991 film, it manages to find its footing – thanks to a version that feels like it borrows more from the hit Broadway show than the previous movie. With director Bill Condon, the man behind “Dreamgirls,” it is a film that is full of vibrant musical numbers that bring the story to life. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

The Boss Baby (B-)

How much you like “The Boss Baby,” the new animated film from Dreamworks, may rely on one factor – how excited are you at the prospect of Alec Baldwin playing a wise-cracking baby?

If you enjoy Baldwin’s schtick, then “Boss Baby” should work for you regardless of your age. If not, well at least your children will have a good time. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

The Case For Christ (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Chips (F)

Dax Shepard serves as co-star (with Michael Pena), writer and director for this film that is supposed to be based on the popular TV series that aired from 1977-83 but feels more like one of those dead-on-arrival buddy cop comedies that seemed to sprout like weeds after the success of the original “48 Hours.” (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

The Fate of the Furious (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas, Franklin Drive-In)

Get Out (A-)

A highly original mixture of horror and comedy from “Key and Peele’s” Jordan Peele.

After helping write “Keanu” last year (a film he co-starred in with TV partner Keegan-Michael Key) Peele writes and makes his feature film debut as director here – pretty much announcing his arrival as a filmmaker to watch. He’s crafted a film so meticulous in its detail it will take multiple viewings to truly appreciate it. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Franklin Drive-In)

Ghost in the Shell (B)

As science fiction films go, this is a solid entry into the genre – an interesting adaptation of the popular anime that is a visual feast with a pretty engaging story to add a little substance. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Going in Style (B-)

“Going in Style” is way better than it has any business being, thanks to its three Oscar-winning leads: Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin.

The film gives these three old pros a chance to showcase their talents quite well. Their talent might be a notch or two above the level of the script, but they work so hard you can’t help but be marginally entertained. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Kong: Skull Island (B)

A clever reboot of the monster franchise that plays like one big carnival ride – with the all star cast that includes Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, and John C. Reilly more than willing to go along for the ride. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Life (C)

Some interesting set pieces can’t save a film that lacks any emotional attachment, despite a cast that includes Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Logan (B)

The Marvel Comics universe continues to expand in a more dark and adult-oriented direction with the third standalone film for Wolverine from the “X-Men” series.

“Logan” follows the lead of “Deadpool,” which pushed the envelope and received in a well-earned R rating, and the result is a film that has plenty of depth between all the bloodshed. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Power Rangers (B-)

Whether you like it or not “The Power Rangers” brings back those cheesy live action super heroes from the mid-90s.

Fans of that series will likely not be disappointed, but the big surprise is that you don’t have to know a Red Ranger from a Green Ranger to have a good time here – with director Dean Israelite creating a solid tent pole for the latest aspiring franchise. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

The Shack (B-)

Solid cast helps this faith based movie based on the popular novel work – a film that understands its audience and delivers to their expectations well. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Smurfs: Lost Village (C-)

While this fully animated installment is an improvement over the previous two live action films, it still feels rather bloated and pointless. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

The Zookeeper’s Wife (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)
