Pros: Conceptually ahead of its time, and gut-bustingly funny Cons: Horrible direction, bad dialogue, virtually no action
A cutting edge, 1950s quasi-docudrama, "Glen or Glenda" is Ed Wood's 60-minute transvestite manifesto. This could have been a good movie, if someone else had written the script, someone else had directed it, the budget were fifty times bigger and if...
Pros: It made me laugh Cons: It wasn't supposed to the way it did
Whenever the term "Grade Z" film is mentioned, the director most closely associated with this type of ultra-low budget picture, which is extremely bad in virtually every aspect, is Edward D. Wood, Jr. (1922-1978). Nobody is sure how he entered the film...
Pros: It stars Bela Lugosi and Ed Wood. Cons: The editing is very poor.
GLEN OR GLENDA?
I am about to present to you a review of one of the strangest movies I have ever seen in my life! The movie I am referring to is the cult ...
Pros: Entertainingly bad, with plenty of weird, incoherent images, and memorably bad dialogue. Cons: It's badly bad, imbued with bad badness, and decidedly bad.
I can recall, when I was in second grade, seeing a little boy who would sit in the dirt and smile and eat leaves, and I remember thinking that this was pretty funny, and all the time thinking that it wasn’t so good that I was thinking that this was ...
Pros: It was interesting to make judgement on a movie with such a notorious reputation Cons: This movie wasn't funny, in fact it was boring
Edward D. Wood is famous for the horrible movies he made throughout his lifetime. Shortly after his death, he was awarded the title of “The Worst Director” and his last film, “Plan 9 from Outer Space” was named the worst movie ever ...
Pros: Surreal, personal, often mesmerizing; Lugosi's performance. Cons: Not for all tastes...
Ed Wood's continuing reign as the so-called 'worst director of all time' has earned him many fans, mainly because the postmodern love for movies that fail to satisfy conventional criterias found in him its hero. This unexpected round of applause has ...
Pros: Some great (over)acting from Bela. Cons: Story doesnt actually go anywhere or do anything.
In honor of the Oscars coming up later this month, I thought I would examine Hollywood's greatest legend, a director without peer, a visionary that dared to dream far beyond his scope. Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm talking about Edward D. Wood, Junior. ...
Pros: You'll laugh your @$$ off Cons: You're not supposed to
If you doubt Ed Wood is the worst director in Hollywood history, sit down and watch Glen or Glenda all the way through. Even worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space, this movie is an hour-long endorsement of transvestitism that claims to be "a picture...
Pros: A good laugh, and really in it's way a sincere and well-minded film. Cons: It may be sincere, but it is still dreadful in any definition.
Is Glen or Glenda the worst film ever made? Hard to say--I haven't seen every film ever made. But still, if I had to name a film which was a good contender for that title, it might well be this one. In virtually every way, it is dreadful. Taking one...
Pros: fuzzy sweaters, "distinctive" dialogue Cons: admittedly kind of boring
One of the thrills of my life was getting to interview Dolores Fuller, star of Ed Wood's best film, Glen or Glenda?
Did she know Ed was wearing her sweaters? No, not at first, she said, but later she did. Unlike Sarah Jessica Parker's version of...
Pros: Worst "well" known camp horror Cons: This man was sincere
This is without doubt one of the best campy movies I have ever seen. It is because Ed Wood is so sincere...that is funny now, but read about how he ended up. A good movie that can be enjoyed on many levels.
This is allegedly based on the...
I know, I know, I'm a horrible person, I trash some movies of today, such as Scream, Armageddon, and things like that but then I praise Ed Wood and his bizarre sense of quality movie. It took me a while, but at 17 when I was grabbed by a gang of people...
Pros: good story with low budget Cons: short movie
After seeing "Ed Wood", I had to see his movies. Call me different, but I loved them. Ed was a true genius at what he did. He made good movies with the little resources he had.
Ed explained his life as he saw it. Not everyone...
