Both The Fly and the "remake" are great films with very interesting performances.
I don't count the Goldblum movie as a remake as the events are clearly far removed from the story of the original.
I rather find the two movies to be different variations on a common theme.
Last movie I watched was Little Shop Of Horrors.
My mum and dad rented it from the video shop (remember them huh?) when I was a kid, and I wasn't impressed at all.Hey, at that age, music is girl stuff that no self respecting boy wants anything to do with.When your aim is to grow up to be a Star Wars baddie like Darth Vader, cissy sfuff is deffinatly OUT.
I don't think I got past the song Skid Row.
The movie said "Horrors" in the title, and I didn't get "Horrors", people sang at me.In my infant mind, the movie lied.
So you can see why that, although i've shelved plans of being the dominant Sith influence in the universe (or have I?
) and now quite enjoy the musicals (I must have got older, or more cissy like
) i've avoided Little Shop Of Horrors because of the air of disapointment that has been attatched to it.
I'm glad to say I enjoyed it, a lot.
Some cracking music, and my only real complaint was Audrey's voice while singing Suddenly Seymore.
I know she had a daft talking voice, but that could have been shelved a little bit when singing a big number.
What works for comedy effect during diolouge is just annoying during what could be a good musical scene.
It sounded to me like a good singer was held back from doing putting all her skill into making the song sound like it's supposed to sound.
'Tis a shame
Skid Row is a favorite at the moment
