HaveYouSeen? ‘Ed Wood’ remains an underrated classic

After Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” left me yearning for the days of his earlier work, I thought it would be a good idea to showcase one of his past films.

While he’s well-known for his fantastically dark comedies like “Beetlejuice” and “Edward Scissorhands,” one of his films tends to get overlooked, due its lack of Burton’s trademark style.

I’m speaking of 1994’s “Ed Wood,” which gained an Oscar nomination for star Martin Landau but didn’t bring in much money at the box office.
