Film Buff Heaven. - Ed Wood review by Steve

Spoiler Alert
Updated 03/03/2021

This is an unlikely buddy movie starring Johnny Depp as Edward D. Wood, the famous bad director responsible for Plan 9 From Outer Space, and Martin Landau as a heroin ruined Bela Lugosi going through the final indignities of a career that peaked early.

It's an inspired idea with a wonderfully imaginative script. The two leads pull off one of the screen's most endearing odd-couple double acts; a pair of deadbeats who we are encouraged to reappraise for their love of cinema, and for their endurance.

The outstanding supporting cast of exotic outsiders and weirdoes are a dream, particularly Bill Murray's charlatan clairvoyant.

The recreation of the period is gorgeous, the black and white photography is lustrous. This is a wonderful, optimistic, feel-good film which manages to largely avoid sentimentality while delivering a fascinating and rich experience of life on the peripheries of fifties Poverty Row pictures.

Funny and poignant - Ed Wood review by LC

Spoiler Alert
08/08/2022

"Ed Wood" is probably the last great film role for Johnny Depp, and definitely the best movie ever made by Tim Burton. It celebrates the B-movie director, whose vision certainly outweighed his talents, but does so in a touching way, showing his belief in his work. The supporting cast of oddballs are great, especially Landaus turn as Bela Lugosi. The film looks great in a black and white homage to the period. Well worth a watch.
