Francis Ford Coppola’s Terrible ‘Twixt’ Finally Gets Dumped to Home Video

Francis Ford Coppola’s absolutely atrocious and embarrassing Twixt, which was shot in 3-D and meant to be “edited live” by the director, is finally getting dumped in the home video crapper by 20th Century Fox on Blu-ray and DVD July 30. Yippie!

If you couldn’t tell, I hated it.

Starring Val Kilmer, Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning, David Paymer and Ben Chaplin, “A writer with a declining career arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl.
