I wasn't expecting much from Ed Wood, but I liked it alot. It was funny, charming & somewhat depressing. We follow a man named Ed Wood (Played very well by Johnny Depp) and his goals to tell his stories via film. Tim Burton gives us a dark & funny look at his life and the people around him. A great cast that play their characters in a exciting way. It can feel a little slow at times, but the ending sure is insperational and gives this heartwarming feeling. The film also captures its times dialogue in a perfect way, corny & clean.
Snyder's Watchmen is the directors best work so far. It stays true to the source material and never stops to thrill or entertain. The long sequense with Dr Manhattan was pure perfection, it was emotionally moving & just throughout spectacular. Old Carla Gugino was terrible, she did nail her younger scenes though (especially the rape scene). Malin Åkerman was pretty bad too, but the other actors involved were good enough to make me forget about Åkerman & Guginos bad acting. Haley's performance as Rorschach is one of my favourites from this decade, so far. He nails every line in a perfect way, especially in the prison scenes. Watchmen is a film I will watch many times and come to love even more, it's one of the most interesting blockbusters I've seen in quite a while.
