Edward Scissorhands

In Tim Burton's EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, a suburban fairy tale with incredibly imaginative sets, an Avon lady, Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest), discovers the half-finished experiment--a man/monster named Edward (Johnny Depp)--of a mad scientist (played magically by Vincent Price) living in the neighborhood's old abandoned castle. The scientist died before replacing the shy man's large shears with real hands. When Peg attempts to bring Edward into her suburban world, to live among her skeptical family (husband Alan Arkin and daughter Winona Ryder) and gossipy neighbors, his hands--dangerous yet capable of creating things of great beauty--make for some awkward, funny, and poignant situations: Edward as a topiary gardener, Edward as a cutting-edge hair stylist. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS is a story about tolerance, difference, and creativity as much as it is a story of a young man's coming of age (the young man in question is, of course, a monster). In the ironically surreal world of Edward's suburban community, he must try to find his place in it, and in the world at large.

      great oldie

      Brilliant gothic classic. My children and I loved it, although it was a bit scary for youngsters. A gorgeously bruised-looking Johnny Depp, slim and aching for ... read more »

    Hags and Heroines: Once upon a time in the Movies

    • 02 Apr 2012

    Once upon a time and forever… Fairytales have endured through the centuries, but few would have predicted Hollywood’s current obsession with children’s bedtime classics. Comic books, yes. Greek Gods, fine. But Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood…? Really?? In the months prior to this week’s dippily amusing and fabulously dressed Mirror Mirror (the first of competing Snow White movies) we’ve already seen Amanda Seyfried molested by a big... Read more
