Where did my sweater go?

Ed Wood

* * * *

Tim Burton makes a damn fine film. There arent any of his movies that I can say I hate. In fact, I love almost all of them. Even his remake of Planet of the Apes.

I recently watched Burton's Ed Wood only to find out that, yes, Tim Burton had made a wonderful film about the "worst director of all time." I loved the fact that the movie was more of a biopic than a retelling about the making of Plan 9 from Outer Space. I found the movie very funny and refreshing. Ed Wood was a very interesting character. Having only seen a couple of interviews with him and a few pictures, I thought Johnny Depp did a great job of capturing Wood's essence. Which is remarkably a lot like John Waters' appearance and mannerisms.

The entire cast was perfect, especially Martin Landau, who`s role of Bela Lugosi was stand-out. The script was amazing too. I loved that the whole movie, knowing how awful a director Wood was, he really thought of his movies as little masterpieces and always strived to be like his idol, Orsen Welles.

I thought it was funny that I`d never seen this movie before. I love Ed Wood`s movies, but had never seen the movie about Ed Wood. Ironic. Or something like that.

I highly recommend this one to everyone who hasn`t seen it. And I also quarantee that you`ll want to see Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster and Plan 9 from Outer Space once this movie is done too.

Another good one! See it.

I only wish there were more current directors like Ed Wood.... although, Uwe Boll is making a play for it!!
