N: Pirates of the Carribean?
W: No….good choice but no. I’m talking about the 1990 fantasy drama EDWARD SCISSORHANDS!
N: I love that movie!
W: A lot of people do. At the height of Tim Burton’s popularity in the late 1980’s, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS launched Johnny Depp from a TV heartthrob into a mega-movie star. The story is a mad scientist builds an android with scissors for a hands and one day a suburban teenaged girl stumbles upon his domain. She brings Edward into the real world and all hell breaks loose.
N: That’s not how I remember…..
W: I know, I know, I’m kidding. This was considered his breakout role so let’s see if Johnny Depp and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS holds up 30 years later. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for EDWARD SCISSORHANDS.
