Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Thorough but humourous
This book is a thorough account of Ed Wood's life and career, but done in a sympatheitic yet humourous way. The humour is engaging, and definitely not poking fun at our hero. A must for all fans.
Rating: - Entertaining
Very well done with interviews with many of the stock players that were in his films. The DVD extras covering behind-the-scenes and the premiers are great. The reason that I did not rate it a 5 is because the film gives the impression that Ed remained married to Norma McCarty when in fact there was an annulment. He then married Kathy (Wood) and they remained together until his death.
Rating:  - Great Tribute
I found this documentary to be probably the best tribuye to Edward D. Wood, Jr. available.
Cheaply done, prroly written, this documentary was mainly a few of Ed's old friends sharing their memories of Ed and thereby cashing in on their association with him.
What better tribute to Ed Wood can there be?

Rating:  - Enter The Wild World Of Ed Wood
This DVD is somewhat done in amateur styling.It seems almost like a home movie at times.Lots of splicing together of clips and interveiws.however, what DOES save this documentary are the interveiws.Being a fan of Bela Lugosi,I in particular enjoyed the interveiw with his son, Bela Jr.If you love Ed Wood films,I would recommend it highly. If you are expecting good editing style, I would forget it.
