A wonderful, loving tribute

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2007)

There is probably no actor who could have brought Edward D. Wood Jr. to life better than Johnny Depp. But my special kudos are reserved for Martin Landau and his portrayal of Bela Lugosi ("Shit! I lost my transfer!").
A fond look back at the freewheeling auteur days of Hollywood - before the bloodsucking corporate grave robbers took over.
I loved the production values that gave the behind-the-scenes story of Wood look like one of his pictures. Sarah Jessica Parker was well cast as Delores. Jeffrey Jones brought us a surprisingly compelling Criswell (I still remember his newspaper column from the 1960s and 1970s).
The closing "Whatever Happened to...?" recaps are the perfect ending to this great flick.
No one who likes movies should miss this one.
