There are only a few things wrong with the 2011 Academy Award best film contender War Horse. Under Steven Spielberg's direction, it's not a war movie and it’s not about a horse. It’s actually an anti-war movie with a horse used as a device to take us from one side of the conflict to another. The action takes place during World War I — we’re thrust behind trench warfare lines, first with British and then German forces and finally amidst French civilians trapped in the battle zone. We get there by following the escapades of Joey the horse, who is conscripted into the British cavalry, captured by the Germans and then ridden off by a pair of youthful deserters onto a French farm. Free. 2pm.
