Johnny Depp is hilarious

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2012)

Johnny Depp is hilarious as the 1950's camp underground film director, Ed Wood. A biography was to be made about Christine Jorgensen, the first male to female sex change operation ever done. because no rights could be obtained, Wood, who was a transvestite, convinced producers to let him make a fictionalized version of the story. The result was his first of many failures, "Glen or Glenda." Wood's next project is a low, low budget monster move. He convinces an aging and drug addicted Bela Lugosi, the original Dracula, to be the leading man. Martin Landau won the 1994 Academy Award for his blistering performance. Wood makes a huge mistake by bringing up Boris Karloff and Frankenstein, which sets off Lugosi on a maniacal tirade that is so over the top and hysterical and the scene which sealed the Oscar for Landau.
The final and most infamous release was "Plan 9 From Outer Space," which pretty much sealed Wood's fate as the worst film maker in history and fortunately for us gave us this great biopic.
