Movie Haiku:This half-animated follow-up to his masterful WALTZ WITH BASHIR is a total flop for Folman. The idea is certainly interesting: 40-something Robin Wright agrees to have her essence as an actress digitized on the condition that she-the real person-never act again. She is to let the studio manipulate her digitized self to meet there own needs. But the execution is a total disaster.
