Tazz's Movie Picks

At first I didn’t really want to see this Movie, but I rented it because it was a Tim Burton film and he was my favorite director at the time and still is.

“When it came to Making Bad Movies, Ed Wood was The Best.” Ed Wood, directed by Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Batman, and the producer of Nightmare Before Christmas) brings you the story of a delightful, hilarious, true-story about the worst director of Hollywood History. Ed Wood played by Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Dead Man) and a Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi the old, drug-addict, and washed up actor that was formerly known as the famous Dracula in 1931. Johnny Depp played a “zany deliriously happy man” who enjoys making movies. Ed Wood meets with Bela Lugosi who he adores. Wood thinks with Bela Lugosi in his movies that he would become even a better director. Seeing at the time Bela Lugosi is a washed up Actor who is a drug addict at the time. Ed Wood had many friends to support him, the transsexual wannabe Bunny Breckinridge (Bill Murray), psychic Criswell (Jeffrey Jones), Tor Johnson (George 'The Animal' Steele). Wood’s girlfriend Dolores Fuller (Sarah Jessica Parker) who later on leaves Ed Wood because he likes to wear woman’s clothing. See how a couple bad reviews, a riot Audience, and money problems still keep Ed Wood at making movies. Movies such as Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Atom, and Plan 9 from Outer Space.
