Ed Wood

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

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A tender, funny tribute to an unflinching dreamer who made gloriously terrible movies with absolute conviction and an oddball found family. It's about the joy of creation itself, not the pursuit of success.

Here's the thing. I just feel like I don't LIKE Johnny Depp anymore, so when I see a Johnny Depp movie NOW for the first time, I sort of just wish it wasn't him, and I have trouble moving past it. It does not apply to movies from BEFORE I stopped liking him (ex: Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, the first Pirates).

With that sort of Johnny Depp blocker in mind, I still enjoyed this overall. I really liked everything with Bela Lugosi. I thought Sarah Jessica Parker was fun. There were a lot of elements that I liked. I just couldn't get from LIKE to LOVE.
