Winter's Tale

Advertised as not a true story, but a love story, it is more of a fairy tale. A thief (Colin Farrell) on the run from his mentor (Russell Crowe) & his henchmen has his heart stolen by a lady (Jessica Brown Findlay) stricken with consumption. Jennifer Connelly and William Hurt have supporting roles. If you believe in miracles, dream of star-crossed destinies, and enjoy the battle between good and evil, you may like this fantasy tale. Alas, Alien is too logical to buy into this premise that spans a century and involves a magical white horse. Look for a surprise cameo in this weird movie.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "Holy Moses" stars out of 4.
