Movie Reviews of The Little Shop of Horrors
Movie Review: Funny Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED this movie. I thought the story line and the dance numbers were very funny. I hope to come across more like this and buy more like this.Movie Review: It is NOT in 3-D! It is a useless 3-D conversion!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is yet another example of ripping off fans of 3-D movies. Razor 3-D has released quite a few legitimate field-sequential 3-D titles, but they unfortunatley have also released 2-D movies that are supposedly converted to 3-D. THE CONVERSION PROCESS DOES NOT WORK! You cannot see any meaningful depth whatsoever! They did the same thing with some other movies, such as Night of the Living Dead, City Girls, etc. etc.
IF YOU ARE BUYING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SEE IT IN 3-D, FORGET IT! If you are satisfied with seeing it in 2-D, then you are fine. If you want to see real 3-D, you can do so with a field-sequential 3-D viewing system, but only use movies that were released to theaters in 3-D and then released on DVD in field-sequential 3-D. Some of the anaglyph movies (red/blue glasses) also work fairly well, but again, only if they were originally shot in 3-D. Quality varies widely. I would have given this review 0 stars if that option was available.
Movie Review: One of the Best Musicals out there!!
Summary: 5 Stars
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS IS CLASSIC, TIMELESS MUSICAL. A SENSE OF HUMOR AND POPCORN IS ALL YOU NEED TO ENJOY THIS MOVIE.Movie Review: Great for cheesy 80s musicals!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like musicals, you need to try this one! It has good music and a pretty good plot line even! It's very 80s cheesy, which is hilarious. It has all kinds of jokes in it that I never realized as a little kid. The movie also has TONS of cameos. It's fun to watch with friends and get a kick out of.
Buy it and see what I'm talking about!
Movie Review: Singing man-eating plants - Oh my!
Summary: 5 Stars
After discovering a rare and interesting plant, which he names Audrey II, florist's assistant, Seymour Krelborn (Rick Moranis), is shot from a life of poverty on Skid Row to fame and fortune. However, his success comes at a price, as Audrey II demands to be fed a diet of blood, and later human bodies, which Seymour must supply.
"Little Shop of Horrors" is one of the earliest examples of a movie being remade as a musical and one of the best. The songs are great; the actors can actually sing; and what's more, everyone involved looks like they are having a thoroughly good time, which makes the audience also enjoy themselves. Although the film's plot and its title suggest that this is a horror film, it is actually a comedy and I can't imagine anyone, except perhaps a young child, being remotely scared by this film. Everything is played over-the-top and for laughs and it works too.
Highlights of the film include a scene involving Steve Martin as a sadistic (singing) dentist meeting his match in the form of a masochistic patient (Bill Murray), and the grand finale song, "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space", which earned this film a Best Song Oscar Nomination. However, for me at least, the best thing about this film is that it was done using puppets for the plant instead of CG.
Considering the fact that just about every movie made now days includes some sort of computerization, it is hard to remember a time when animatronics and puppets were the big thing. "Little Shop of Horrors" was made back in 1986, before CG, and as I was rewatching this film last night, I found myself feeling grateful that this was the case. No matter how good CG gets interactions between humans and CG creatures just don't look as realistic as interactions between actual objects (ie. puppets) and humans. The puppets in this film are great and they are directed by the best puppet director in the business, Frank Oz.
The film also features a large number of cameos from assorted comedians including John Candy, Jim Belushi, and Christopher Guest. Oh and for the record, the original Roger Corman version of this film is nowhere near as good as this "remake" and is only really worth watching as a curiosity piece, to see the origins of this classic.
