Ed Wood

Ed Wood (1994)
Staring Johnny Depp, Sarah Jessica Parker, and a bevy of other celebs
Directed by non other than Tim Burton

Johnny Depp plays the main character obviously Ed Wood, a cross dressing director who wants his cinematic voice to be heard. However, unfortunately he has no real cinematic experience to speak of.
The movie begins with a play, with Sarah Jessica Parker (Wood’s girlfriend) as an angel in some kind of war setting, however it was unclear what the plot of that play was. Perhaps I should have paid more attention, but on the other hand, SJP’s horse face bugs me at times and I start to look away.
*Side note- I like some Sex and the City but over all its nothing more then four crazy New York women who complain and have lots of sex with dozens of men. Story over.

As the movie progresses, the passion Wood has for movie making is apparent, and he cleverly tricks several people into giving him the capital in order to produce his severely under-scripted, under-directed, and under-edited movies. Wood was dubbed as the worst director of all time (seriously Ed Wood is real and really bad at movie making.)
Wood was however, able to recruit aging and drug addicted Bella Lugosi (Martin Landau) who was famous for his stints as Dracula and dozens of other characters in classic horror movies. Landau was magnificent as Lugosi, I only wish I had seen a documentary on Lugosi himself so I could have a better sense of the character, but non-the less I was amazed. I won’t give away too much but towards the middle of the movie, a celebration takes place after the completion of Wood’s latest travesty, but look closely at the “entertainer” for the evening. Impressive is all I have to say about that.
The movie tends to drag (no pun intended) a bit, but in the end picks up and I would recommend this movie to all Tim Burton fans. There are some laughs along the way, however no nudity to speak of. There are some cool bonus materials, including a behind the scenes look at Johnny Depp being directed by Tim Burton. ( I must say I am extremly anxious for the Tim Burton Johnny Depp Alice in Wonderland, just saying)

Cheers!
