Movies were his passion. Women were his inspiration. Angora sweaters were his weakness.

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2005)

Despite being based on real life, as usual Tim Burton is able to turn this movie into his own slice of quirky and imaginative yarn. This is Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's second collaboration (if my memory is right) and could possibly be their best if Charlie and the Chocolate Factory doesn't provide the chocolate good.
Johnny Depop is his usual self in a Tim Burton movie: great acting but one weird looking mother******. He doesn't look like a Michael Jackson lookalike but still mildly out there.
Supporting actors: Patricia Arquette and Sarah Jessica Parker are both putting in a solid, agreeable performance that doesn't steal the show but still good.Bill Murray is a brilliant performer who usually brings the goods and does in this movie. Martin Landau is just hilarious and I'm hoping to find more of his work to view in the future. He certainly added something to the movie. The relationship between Bela Lugosi and Ed Wood was just heartbreaking and yet completely real and believable.
(Impersonating Bela Lugosi) Dr. Tom Mason: I want to suck your blood. I want to suck your blood! Bunny Breckinridge: Let's hear you call Boris Karloff a ****sucker.
"A biopic of the life and work of the legendary 'worst director of all time', Edward D.Wood, Jr., concentrating on the best-known period of his life in the 1950s, when he made 'Glen or Glenda', 'Bride of the Monster' and 'Plan 9 From Outer Space', and focusing on both his transvestism and his touching friendship with the once great but now ageing and unemployed horror star Bela Lugosi."
