A Quick review of Edward Scissorhands
Added 1/30/2010
This Tim Burton masterpiece is the fairytale of a man born in human likeness with human emotions and feelings. However, he was never completed (his hands remain scissors) because his inventor died suddenly of a heart attack. He lived most of his life on a hill in a deserted mansion off the suburbs of a utopian town. He is discovered by a generous and loving woman who takes him into her house and adopts him as one of the family. He is quickly discovered by the gossipy neighbors who use him as a walking tree hedger. After seeing his talents with his "scissor hands" he quickly moves from trimming hedges to grooming dogs and eventually becoming a professional hairdresser for the members of the community. He falls in love with the daughter of the family he is staying with which leads to complications because in his enamored state he slowly and unknowingly begins to lose his child-like innocence. This bitter-sweet movie brings up many philosophical questions for those seeking a deep underlying message (questions e.g. ethics, aesthetics and morality).

When a mad scientist meets an early death his creation is left to fend with scissors for hands. A man with scissors for hands, is brought to live in a suburban town, with a suburban family. This movie is richly entertaining, amusing and inventive.

Sweet and Special
Added 12/19/2009
I loved this story in the 90's and I love it today. Its a sweet story with some very deep concerns and is thought provoking. A beautifully gentle person is mislead by others greed. The ending is just precious.

Pretty decent Blu Ray for old movie title
Added 11/16/2009
I love this film and I thought they did a pretty decent job with this blu ray DVD. I've seen a few films that look their full of pixels. This one does have it moments when the scenes get really dark, but the day scenes are pretty sharp. Once again, I think they did a good job with this film, but I'm a little biased since this movie is one of my all time favorites.
