	Twins (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Twins is a 1988 comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman about unlikely twins (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito) that were separated at birth.
		The core of the film is the relationship between Devito's streetwise character and Arnie's Ingenue persona.
		Julius and Vincent Benedict are fraternal twins; the results of a secret experiment carried out at a genetics laboratory to produce the perfect child, using sperm donated by six different fathers.

		Film Noir starring Billy Zane and Gina Gerson as fraternal brother-sister twins who embark on a life of crime and amorality after witnessing their father kill his mistress 30 years earlier.
		Twins profiled included a pair separated at birth, a twin dealing with the loss of his twin, and a twin whose brother is hit by a car and paralyzed.
		One of Olsen Twins first TV-movies (the cute "twin names" for the films were still available at this point) in which three friends come to the aid of Mary-Kate and Ashley who are out to rescue their kindly aunt from her sister's evil magic spell.

	TWINSTUFF.COM--My Brother's Keeper
		But the tagline may as well have been 'Made for Twins' as this well-made movie stars twins, centers around a plot involving the relationship between a pair of twins, was directed and produced by twins and obviously was crafted from start to finish with the special bond that exists between twins close in mind.
		Filmed in Canada in 2003 by Canadian rookie director, Jordan Barker, the film tells the story of 19-year-old identical twins, Eric and Lou Woods, who both share a dream of winning a National Rowing Championship.
		But twins who see the film may see it on a different level as it shows the sacrifice made for a twin for the common benefit of both siblings.

	Stallonezenegger -- feature article, In Film Australia
		By making two such bad films he was effectively killing off each of his two main characters: while both films did well, he would pay a price later, because people would be reluctant to see further entries in the series.
		Twins, as the first outright comedy on either man's resume, would turn out to be something of a red herring for both of them.
		The whole joke in Twins was established on the poster, and Schwarzenegger should have considered himself lucky that the joke was sustained for the length of the film.

	The Twins Effect (2003)
		Taller Twin Charlene Choi is Helen, the sister to depressed vampire stalker Reeve, and a wacky sort of a girl.
		Aside from the Twins (who turn in effective, if not notable performances), Ekin Cheng is likable and self-effacing as the "old" popstar, and Anthony Wong and Josie Ho manage their small parts well.
		If The Twins Effect came with any hype at all, it was that two cute girls would be occupying the screen with their enormous heads, and that there'd be some occasional fighting.

	Brothers of the Head
		Even though the film pokes fun at the style of music it never demeans either the real participants of the musical style or people who are conjoined twins.
		As the film focuses on the preparation and rehearsals the audience gets to witness how the young men are drawn into a world driven by the hope of fame and the temporary solace of drugs and alcohol.
		The film shows how they have to cope with using their condition as a means to gain the fame they desire.

	DVD Review: New York Minute
		The two twins have made a fortune off of direct-to-video fare, but this is their first big-screen effort (Oh wait, how could I forget "It Takes Two"), and they've managed to wrangle in a series of very noteworthy comedic talents to co-star.
		The film concerns twins Jane and Roxy (played by the Olsens), who are two very different sisters.
		The film's last-minute messages of the importance of sisters watching over and being there for each other seems like a bit too much of an afterthought and even gets a little nauseating.

	MediaRights: Film: Twins: Children with Cochlear Implants
		Twins follows two sets of one-year-old twins for three years.
		Each set has one profoundly deaf twin who has been given a cochlear implant, and a hearing twin with whom their language development is compared.
		By following the lives of the twins and their families, one of which is featured in Filmakers Library's Academy Award nominated film Sound and Fury, we witness the astonishing growth in the deaf children's speech and hearing as well as their integration and assimilation into mainstream life.

	RMA Music and Film 2001 - Bowman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Each film presents a pair of identical twins who are portrayed by the same actor and who are invested in psychologically manipulative, psycho-sexual, and/or homicidal relationships.
		The first part of the paper explores the participation of music in differentiating the personalities and activities of the twins in the three earlier films.
		In particular, the twins' fusion provides a perfect case study for Jean Baudrillard's assertion that "simulation must be played against death." The narrative fusion accomplished in this film is paralleled in its music, so that Dead Ringers may be seen as a prime example of film/music postmodernism.

	Disney Archives \| "The Parent Trap" Movie History
		But after a fateful camping trip, Vicky finds living with the twins is not worth it and flees, leaving Mitch and Maggie to reunite happily.
		The film was shot mostly in California at various locales, including millionaire Stuyvesant Fish's 5,200-acre ranch in Carmel, Monterey's Pebble Beach golf course, and the studio's Golden Oak Ranch in Placerita Canyon, where Mitch's ranch was built.
		It was the design of this set that proved the most popular, and to this day the Walt Disney Archives receives requests for plans of the home's interior design.

	The Twins Effect II (2004)
		Everything about The Twins Effect II seems carefully calculated by marketing—except maybe the script, which is uninspired and dependent on too many semi-amusing interludes which are meant to pass for actual content.
		However, when that film was reviewed last year, I managed to give it a passable "it's crap, but cute" review that basically said that the Twins were enough to save the film.
		Granted, the costumes and art direction are intriguing, and the fantasy setting gives the film a "kid's flick" feel that's quite fitting for the Twins, who happen to be a big hit with the tykes.

		When Mary Ellen had finished photographing a set of twins we took them behind the backdrop to a small studio, where we had two cameras and a sound recorder, and there we asked each set of twins twenty questions.

	Filmmaker Magazine \| Summer 1999: DOUBLE VISION
		In reviewing the film’s trailer for example, the MPAA slapped it with a restricted tag on the grounds that a scene with one of the twins kissing a woman was quite literally a menage-à-trois.
		Since we directed most of the film in the script, we figured someone should get the title for calling the shots, and that was me. And it is easier for people on the the set to recognize a hierarchy that people can deal with.
		For film, one of our main influences was probably Krzysztof Kieslowski, especially in the way he treats strangers, the way in which they come together and develop a relationship.

		The Milk Processor Education Program has pulled its "Got milk?" ads featuring twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from magazines out of "sensitivity to their current situation." Program director Hugh Williams told the AP Tuesday the ads, which feature both Mary-Kate and Ashley with the trademark milk moustache, might run in the future.
		The twins, Justin Charles, who weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces, and his twin brother, Jordan Edward, who weighed 5 pounds, 8 ounces, were born Tuesday morning in Atlanta.

	Twins of Evil \| Plot \| MTV Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Of course, the uncle predictably gives chase once trouble starts, but there is a clever plot twist as the count switches the twins before one is about to be burned at the stake for her supposed satanic involvements.
		Twins of Evil unabashedly exploits the twins' assets to pump up the film's sex appeal; it also seems to cater to viewers with a vampire fetish.
		Still, neither is necessarily a bad thing in a vampire film; Twins of Evil does create an effectively sensuous mood while also managing to sustain a fair amount of tension throughout the picture.

	Twins
		This film could have easily degenerated into another shoot-em-up and chase scene type of story like we are used to seeing Schwarzenegger star in.
		Even in his most violent and brutal film roles, Schwarzenegger was always able to introduce a little comedy dialog, for example the line "I'll be back" used in the Terminator movies.
		This film is enjoyable because the comedy element takes top billing over the violence, and you have to be impressed with his versatility in making this film work.

		The Fairbanks twins entered films with Biograph, circa 1910, but were not publicized there, for it was Biograph policy at the time not to mention the names of their players.

		Identical twin actors Harry and Luke Treadaway are quick to establish separate identities for Tom and Barry, and their clever acting adds to the film's plausibility.
		In rapid succession, the twins become famous, get hooked on drugs and booze, and have their lives intruded upon by a rock journalist whom Tom falls in love with, forcing Barry to become an unwilling voyeur.
		Like the Sept. 11 commission itself, the film goes out of its way to be nonpartisan -- too out of its way, perhaps -- assigning blame to no particular administration, even as it exposes huge flaws in the country's emergency response system.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Twins (1988) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		At the time, Arnold Schwarzenegger being in a comedy was an intriguing idea, and making him Danny DeVito's twin was so far-fetched and silly, it was almost an intuitive premise to come up with.
		The film itself, directed by Ivan Reitman, doesn't live up to what it promises, however, although it comes close.
		In typical Reitman style, the film is pleasantly funny, even the parts with badguys and gangsters and so forth, but not especially inventive or memorable.

	Twins of Evil (1972)
		Plot: After the death of their parents, the Gelhorn twins, the sensual and cunning Frieda and the timid, conservative Maria, go to live in the village of Karnstein with their puritanical uncle Gustav Weil.
		Much symbolism is made throughout of doubles and opposites - one virtuous, one carnal twin; the Brotherhood and Karnstein both wielding authority and terror in the region, one fleeing from the crucifix, the other wielding it with holy terror.
		The idea of a vampire film where the crucifix wielders are brutal Puritans is a good one, with the film borrowing some of the topical interest in historical witch persecutions that had been created by the success of Michael Reeves' Matthew Hopkins - Witchfinder General/The Conqueror Worm (1968).
