Movie Review -- Ed Wood

In this movie review, I talk about yet another Johnny Depp/Tim Burton flick -- "Ed Wood." This movie is actually based on a real person's life, and it is none other than one Edward D. Wood, Jr. -- best known for his stinker movies, such as "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Glenn or Glenda" This movie is shot in black and white and was released in 1993. This movie also has Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, Martin Landau, Jeffrey Jones and Bill Murray in it as well. Bill Murray and Jeffrey Jones' parts in this movie are hysterical and make this movie worth watching, if you're not watching Martin Landau's portrayal of the late actor, Bela Legosi.

i'm doing a tim burton marathon and just watched ed wood and i loved the film. as to why tim shot it in black-and-white i think he did it to recreate the feeling of the 50s. i thought martin landeau was excellent too!

@bladerunner363 martin landeau actually won an award from this movie, if memory serves me correctly and he truly deserved it, too.

Don't know why he shot this film in black and white? Such research! And I wasn't aware the "Night of the Living Dead" was sci-fi. I thought it was horror. And what does Ed Wood have to do with Medium, other than sharing an actress (and not "the other Arquette sister")? I just don't get much of a sense of why I should watch the movie, other than it's "a hysterical movie about a real person." Um...ok.

i like your reviews and how you use the DVD case to explain it clearly. Also the movie by Ed Wood "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is voted one of the worst movies of all time.
