“Looking Glass” (*1/2 out of four) was a pale imitation of both “Vacancy” and “Twin Peaks” about a married couple (Nicholas Cage and Robin Tunney) who buy a desert motel where they find out all-too-late that strange and bizarre events are occurring and they soon find that murders are on the rise. Leaden and sleazy melodrama is bereft of the conviction and intensity it needs, and only has the talented stars to carry it. Director Tim Hunter previously helmed both “River’s Edge” and “The Saint Of Fort Washington” and also some classic episodes of “Twin Peaks” but there’s not much worth looking at here.
