Edward Scissorhands.

Peg Boggs: (Applying neaten up-up to Edward) “The light-concealing cream goes on first… and then you blend, and blend, and blend. Blending is the private. Mm-hm… More concealing cream… You know, your complexion is so fair… that this is a touch of lavender in it! Let’s give it a try here… join enough. Okay, this should do the trick here… (Observing his purple face) Huh… - I have another idea. We’ll cover up the scars, and start with a utterly smooth surface. (Wrestling with stodgy concoction) …Darn this stuff…!”

Haha. She is just so purposeful-like.

DVD Review: Edward Scissorhands

I discern what all of you must be thinking.  How can this guy not have seen Edward Scissorhands.  I’ll admit, I’m a deprived child in that regard, so when my girlfriend bought the anniversary version of the DVD, I was up for the show.  She’s an avid fan of the flick, calling it “one of her favorite movies, if not her number one.”  The history revolves around a man named Edward Scissorhands (Johnny Depp).   Edward is different from everyone else in the fact that he was created by an inventor (Vincent Figure).  Unfortunately, Edward’s inventor dies before he is able to complete Edward, leaving Edward with scissors for hands.  Edward lives much of his being in isolation, until one day an Avon representative named Peg (Dianne Wiest), pays Edward a visit, and takes him home to the people.  Edward soon falls in love with Kim (Winona Ryder), but his life and his love for Kim are soon trapped behind the fence that is his hands.  My analysis of the film is below, here is the original theatrical one-sheet, as well as the anniversary edition DVD cover:

Overall, I thought this film really hit it out of the ballpark.  Johnny Depp was incandescent as the title character, not because of his line delivery, but because of his action.  Edward doesn’t say much throughout the film, but when he does, it counts, and is very noted.  I also thought that the sets were extremely well designed.  The town is very colorful, almost to the point of looking out-and-out gaudy, while Edward’s home is old, run down, and void of color.  As a total package, I give this film 4.5 out of 5 stars.  This one is categorically one to own.
