OK, so that’s probably not going to happen. But the new animated offering is polling as high or higher than every current best-picture nominee at Rotten Tomatoes.

With a cast toplined by writer-director George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and John Goodman, it’s the “Ocean’s Eleven” of regular-guys-trying-to-save-priceless-works-of-art-from-Nazis-and-Russians movies. So why isn’t “The Monuments Men” more fun?

Your girlfriend/wife/mistress will want to see this movie. You will not. But pay attention to the pie scene.

Vanessa Hudgens and Ann Dowd star as Agnes “Apple” Bailey and Kathy DiFiore in “Gimme Shelter,” which is more a celebration of real-life DiFiore’s work than Agnes’ story.

“Her” is a love story that’s sad and funny and touching and overflowing with every bit of the inventiveness you’d expect from the visual visionary Spike Jonze.

Director Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio revisit the anything-goes late ’80s and early ’90s with such debauchery that it should elicit abject horror but mostly plays as comedy.

For a movie that’s all about literally going home again, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” is further proof of just how hard it is to do so figuratively.

“Out of the Furnace’s” plot is almost stunningly straightforward. No twists, no turns. There’s literally nothing fancy about it. Director Scott Cooper just trusts his talented cast to burrow deep into their roles.

James Franco is both the best and the worst thing about “Homefront,” the new backwoods thriller in which Jason Statham turns rednecks into broken-necks.
