Review of Twixt

Twixt (2011)
3/10
Anticipation was the ONLY fun

Warning: Spoilers
Oooh exciting! FFC working in 3D or the first time! He doesn't do anything that Scorsese didn't already do better ( and in focus!) in HUGO. There are only two brief scenes in 3D and the effect works about half of the time. The whole film is vaguely focused both visually and conceptually. VAL KILMER working with his ex- Joanne Whalley in what might be come back roles! Except they only talk by Skype and he's got a dreadful pony tail that isn't making a comeback, either. Francis is making a "personal" horror film. Unfortunately, he trades on his own tragedy, detailing the death of his son, without getting anything of value for himself, his sad little video or his audience. This is really dreary stuff. I never saw JACK but I don't think I've ever liked a Copolla film less, ever found any work of his so dishonest or unworthy of mention. You've been warned.
