| | Taymor's `Titus' Twisted And Terrific |
 | | In ``Titus,'' director Julie Taymor has created a film that is as vulgar, obvious and glorious as the Shakespeare play it's based on. |
 | | Titus (Anthony Hopkins), an old Roman general, has returned from war with the Goths, bringing as his prisoner the Goth queen, Tamora (Jessica Lange). |
 | | In a key early scene, Titus chooses Tamora's eldest son for a ritual sacrifice, ignoring her as she cries, begs and shrieks as only Lange can. |
