  Ed Wood 1994

  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Biopic on the worst director of all time! Didn’t realize he was a real dude until the end credits. This has got to be Tim Burton’s best. Ed Wood was making films about transgenderism in the 50s, you betcha. And to know Bela Lugosi starred in and was down with it?? Cool to glimpse bizarro Hollywood history including Bela’s drug addiction and rehab. We see the dark and quirky corners of American cinema

  Close-Up 1990

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Nov 2024

  Staggeringly good. Felt its influence on Jafar Panahi’s, “No Bears,” through its self-referential style to draw connections between performance, deception, inner reality, art, and truth
