What's on Screen? Winter's Tale

I know everyone else is watching Star Wars, but there's other movies that are available to watch. I'm not ready to see the new movie yet, even though it sounds like it's good. So how about something lighter, yet still imaginative?



Winter's Tale
2014/color/118 minutes
Fantasy

A fantasy film with a basic plot of good versus evil. It starts off in early industrial America, and we see people fall in love, as well as go through tragedy. At first to be honest I thought it was going to be a movie about fairies, or fairy type creatures. But I was surprised to have this thought dashed seeing a familiar face (Will Smith I think) playing the part of Lucifer.

There's a surprising twist as the movie gets closer to it's end. And I'm trying not to give away anything that would be a spoiler because this really was a great movie to watch. Though, I may recommend watching it in Summer because it has a very cold feel to it.

This is a family friendly film, though it may not hold the attention of younger children. It's very mellow though, and I would recommend it as one to curl up with someone on the couch to watch. It's nice to watch something that isn't gory or terrifying for a change.
