A fittingly weird movie covering the life of a very weird man. This was the only Tim Burton helmed movie I haven’t seen and being a big fan of his, definitely wanted to see it. It is very different from his other movies in that it doesn’t have the gothic/menacing feel to it that so many of his other works possess. Ed Wood was the man behind some of Hollywood’s worst films including Glen or Glenda and what is considered the worst movie ever made: Plan 9 from Outer Space. Johnny Depp plays Ed as a naive dreamer who lives in his own little world and it would be interesting to know if that’s really what the real Ed Wood was like. I wasn’t a big fan of the choice to shoot the entire film in black and white (too many dark scenes) and I’d say it was an OK film in story. Once again Candice fell asleep. She made it through maybe 1/2 the film before she conked out this time.
