I straight-up adored this adaptation of the musical "Little Shop of Horrors". I recently saw the director's cut which has a fairly interesting back story. When the original version … more
This movie, like all Tim Burton movies, screams TIM BURTON. That being said, it's an enjoyable musical adaptation. Of course, "Johanna" is the stand-out musical number, being hauntingly … more
**** out of **** Tim Burton gives me all that I look for in a musical feature film with "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", an adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim hit … more
As one who loathes the filthy, trashy, moronic hippie subculture that this cinematic atrocity (and the play from which it was adapted) were inspired by, I must admit to a peculiar bias against Hair. This … more
Pros: some oh, so nasty secrets that I am sure some people don't want shared Cons: some extremely idiotic moments, I'm sorry to say The Bottom Line: "There's … more
Another movie that I was ashamed of having not seen. But again, I am ashamed no more, because this is definitely one of the finest movie-musicals of all time, and it definitely earns it's place in … more
I decided to rewatch this movie and after doing so, I have deduced that I was being unfair, comparing this to the stage show. Of course the stage show is brilliant, but this is a splendid work in its … more

In all fairness this is probably the worst version of Sweeney Todd out there, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I actually do like this movie, but it seems that the only reason Tim … more
It took me years to finally get a copy of this film, but when I did, it was worth the wait. Having enjoyed Cagney's cameo as George M. Cohan in The Seven Little Foys (only one scene, but he completely … more

Strong performances all around in both singing and acting. Even though I thought Bonham-Carter was a bit too young to play Mrs. Lovett when the cast was announced, she pulled off this role wonderfully. … more
Loved this film, and I am not a lover of the musical genre. I was an army brat in Germany when this film debuted and we actually went to Salzburg Austria and saw the Von Trapp family mansion. Great acting … more
