Here are the movies that had previews last night:

• The Monuments Men – Art experts are sent on missions behind Nazi lines to try to save the art treasures of Europe during the death throes of the Third Reich.  Looks interesting, but I think I’d enjoy a non-fiction book about the program more.  Looks like it had an interesting ensemble cast, though.
• Holiday Classics – Classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Christmas Vacation” are coming back for a showing on the big screen.  Definitely going to have to find the time to go see a couple of these.  Although, whoever decided that “Elf” is a classic needs to be drug out into the street and horsewhipped.
• Jupiter Ascending – Sci-fi action movie with what looks like some of the best visual effects ever seen.  May go to a matinee just to enjoy the scenery.
• 47 Ronin – A Keanu Reeves movie that looks like it might have been written by Larry Correia and his friends.  Might be an interesting matinee.
• Edge of Tomorrow – Groundhog Day meets Starship Troopers.  It’s a Tom Cruise film, so I’m going to have to pass.
• Amazing Spiderman 2 – Your friendly neighborhood Spiderman goes up against a foe that looks like it’s going to squash him like a bug.  I’m sure there will be a lot of teenagerish angst and a hot girlfriend that will somehow repeatedly get herself into some life threatening situation.  You can probably tell that I’m absolutely pawing at the ground to see this one.  If only I’d seen the first movie in this, the umpteenth reboot of the Spiderman franchise.
• Captain America:  The Winter Soldier – Captain America continues his work with SHIELD, which apparently includes beating up people in an elevator and exploding flying aircraft carriers.  He’s probably still pissed from when he found out that the Dodgers moved to LA.
• Earth To Echo – A group of kids find what might be an alien, or maybe a baby squirrel.  Not sure, but whatever it is they were fooling with was making some kind of annoying sound.  Probably pass.  I don’t do cute, heartwarming science fiction, and I noticed a distinct lack of ooze, tentacles, teeth, or screaming in the trailer.
