"It's about the big picture!"

There are three very cool DVDs just out today.

Ed Wood (1994) -- A great movie about a man who some consider the worst director ever! Johnny Depp plays the very enthusiastic filmmaker as he teams up with Bela Leguosi (played by Martin Landau, who won an Oscar for it!) to make, among other great classics, Plan 9 From Outer Space! Directed by Tim Burton.

Explorers (1985) -- A video rental staple when I was in Elementary school. This was the movie to watch over and over again. Even now I think it holds up pretty well, except for the ending, which I must have just glossed over because the premise was so cool: three school-kids make their own spaceship! I get to see it for the first time in widescreen! What's in those corners?? Directed by Joe Dante.

Eerie, Indiana: The Complete Series (1991-1992) -- It's great to see this on DVD! Way before "Goosebumps" this smart Twilight-Zone-for-kids was a show I would watch all the time! These two kids observe the strange goings on in their small town of Eerie. The director of Explorers even directed many of the episodes! Watch for Dick Miller cameos!
