VHS Movie Reviews of Ed Wood Story: Plan 9 Companion [VHS]

Movie Review: Ed Wood, Anti-Genius!
Summary: 5 Stars

The film obviously has great reverence for Wood's work, and fundamentally gives the picture of Wood as a nice guy (despite issues with cross-dressing and alcohol) who was well liked but was somewhat manic about his pictures. My biggest regret about Wood is that he died before he achieved the huge fame that he has today; fame that would have certainly been beyond his wildest expectations.

This documentary is an entertaining and informative look at Wood as a person and a director. It is totally fair and balanced: it never tries to hide his faults, but always gives him credit for his genuine achievements.

I think that the Ed Wood collection contains some of the most bizarre and innovative (if ineptly made in every manner) works in American motion picture history. They are bad, true, but they are a good kind of bad, a kind of bad that allows repeated viewing without ever becoming bored.

There will never be another Ed Wood.

Movie Review: A really great documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
