Edward Scissorhands

Our final movie in this years Christmas special is Liam's choice...Edward Scissorhands. We will be recording on Saturday.

Starring Johnny Depp...

...Winona Ryder...

...and horror legend Vincent Price.

Why is it a Christmas movie?...This perhaps...?

"In a castle high on top of a hill lives an inventor's greatest creation - Edward, a near-complete person. The creator died before he could finish Edward's hands; instead, Edward is left with metal scissors for hands. Since then, Edward has lived alone, until a kind lady called Peg discovers Edward and welcomes him into her home. At first, everyone welcomes Edward into the community, but soon things begin to take a change for the worse."

But when she receives a bump on her head, she begins to remember small parts of her previous life as a lethal, top-secret agent. Her old chums in the Chapter are now out to kill her so she enlists the help of a cheap detective named Mitch. As Samantha remembers more and more of her previous life, she becomes deadlier and more resourceful. Both Mitch and Charly proceed to do the killing thing, the bleeding thing and the shooting thing."

"Christmas time in England, and unusual things going on round. Some people are falling in love, then breaking up or some people just desperately lonely and still looking for that someone special. This is a story about 8 people who follow their hearts and show love or anger. If you look carefully around 'Love Actually' is all around you... "

Film of the year....?

I'm not one for bold statements (apart from this weekend's podcast...just ask Charlie) but I'm pretty sure that I have just seen my film of the year.


Everything you've read and heard about the film is true. Forget previous movies with cgi effects that you've looked at and thought, "Ooh...that's a bit ropey....just like a cartoon" (or video game). The effects in this movie are better than any I have seen before and the set pieces will keep you literally on the edge of your seat. But...do yourself a favour and watch this movie in the cinema and watch it in 3D...you can thank me later.

One downside to the movie... there are a couple of schmaltzy moments including one particular use of the 3D that may not sit right with some of you. Try to overlook those and just immerse yourself in a truly amazing piece of cinema. The soundtrack (what little there is) will grab you and leave you wanting to hear more.


I don't know at the moment where this movie lies within my all-time favourites list, but I'm pretty sure it's right near the top at the moment and is a film that I am likely to revist many times....told you - bold statement!
