On Sundays, we list the weekend’s upcoming films along with previews of trailers and posters. On Wednesdays, we preview all of the upcoming new wide and limited releases hitting the theaters the coming weekend. On Fridays, we’ll now tell you what you should see. We pose two questions each week to our contributors and their responses are posted below.

Wesley Lovell

1. Which of the three new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
There’s no question that in spite of it being the only re-release of the week, it could be more original than the other two offerings. Check out Beauty and the Beast in 3D.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
Of the two films releasing, I’d go with Loosies. The chance of it being passable entertainment is higher.

1. Which of the three new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
It’s that time of year when Hollywood dumps its leftovers from the prior year on the gullible public, so buyer beware. If you’re not looking for art you might enjoy either of this week’s low wattage new wide releases or if you’re into 3D, revisit Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in its enhanced version.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
I would avoid this week’s new limited releases and catch up on A Separation or some other highly acclaimed holdover from last year that I haven’t seen yet.

1. Which of the three new wide releases would you choose to recommend above the others?
At least we know Beauty and the Beast is a fabulous film, although why why need it in 3D is beyond me.
2. Are there any limited release features this week that you would recommend (and why)?
None look too promising to me.
