Friday’s releases: Tulips and another phone home

Dan Webster

At first glance, it appears that the coming week will be a light one for moviegoers. The good news? That should give you plenty of time to catch up seeing those movies you've missed.

The listed national releases are:

"Tulip Fever": Oscar winner Alicia Vikander stars as the young wife of a Dutch businessman (Christofph Waltz) who falls for a young painter (Dane DeHaan). Up for a bit of flower power.

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind": On its 40th anniversary, Steven Spielberg's 1977 film is getting a re-release. The scheduled one-week run gives a whole new generation the chance to enjoy watching Richard Dreyfuss build a mountain out of mashed potatoes — and listen to one of the most familiar set of notes ever to be featured in film.

I'll update as the local listings are finalized.
