Movie Reviews of Glen or Glenda
Movie Review: Dressed to Kill
Summary: 5 Stars
Disclaimer: I am reviewing the movie and not this particular product. (I got my version in an Ed Wood 6-pack.)
This is my favorite Ed Wood movie. Even better (worse) than "Plan Nine from Outer Space." Yes, it's one of those "so bad, it's good" movies. If you want to fully appreciate this movie, do this. First, imagine that it's the '50's and Ed Wood has been hired to produce a film the purpose of which is to explain to High School students the difference between transexuals, transvestites, and homosexuals. Pretend the message of the film is "let's be accepting of transexuals and transvestites because, hey, at least they're not homosexuals!" (Remember, we're imagining it's the '50's.) Okay, now drink 2 beers. Now, start the film. Enjoy.
Also: "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp is highly entertaining.
Movie Review: The crowning achievement of western society!
Summary: 5 Stars
If ever there were a film to so effectively use generic and stock actors, wardrobe, sets, and footage, I do not know what it is. Ed Wood once again takes about $30 and manages to cobble together something so sensationally stupid and occassionally sidesplitting (and come on, how many directors do you know of who can pull off a "sidesplitting" edit like the Buffalo shot?)that it really feels brilliant at times. You just have to give Ed Wood an A for effort for being so passionate about making a movie that he made Glen or Glenda. I think this movie is very much safe within the "so bad its good" range and nowhere near the "so bad its bad" area.
I'd reccommend going ahead and buying the box set of Ed Wood movies, and at least seeing the Tim Burton movie about Ed Wood.
Movie Review: Excellent Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is not what most people believe. It is not a romantic comedy with Richard Gere and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Instead it is even better than any of Mr. Gere's movies. It involves love and dignity. It deals with problems in everyday life that we all face almost everyday. The actors portray their roles with such power and an essence of beauty that you cannot look away from the screen for even a second. This movie is by far my favorite movie of all time. Ed Wood, the director/writer/producer/actor is an excellent movie maker who in my opinion should have won an oscar for his spectacular acting job. I know many will agree that this movie is important for young people today to see for it's pure truth and heartfelt message.Movie Review: Great movie, bad dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
Especially considering the outrageous price for this dvd, the fact that the print and sound quality of this version is incredibly low makes this a very disappointing release. That and the fact that there are several minutes missing on the dvd that were on the VHS version! Image usually has such high standards. My advice... skip the overpriced dvd and stick with your VHS copy. This butchered print doesn't do Ed Wood's bizarre and poigniant vision justice.Movie Review: incredible, wow! outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah, well, maybe not! Still one of the most entertaining films i've ever seen! I get way more laughs out of Ed Wood films than most of the so called "comedies" that hollywood puts out. Great way to spend a saturday night, have a "b" grade double feature with your favourite spouse and favourite snacks!
