“Little Shop of Horrors” the musical with Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, Tisha Campell, Levi Stubbs as Audrey II, and many other worthies.

A really enjoyable movie. Rated PG-13, fine for all but the youngest children. We’ve watched it many times and will almost certainly watch it again this Halloween.

And, unlike other version of this story, and the stage version of the musical, it has a happy ending!

The Witches (1990s version) is pretty good.

The witches are very bad people not just misunderstood victims of prejudice like they are in most current movies.

Well, maybe, maybe not. The last shot shows baby plants growing in their yard.

lots of blood and gore and profanity. I'm not interested in those types of films.

Well they are.

Yeah but the movie was better.

I LIKE happy endings. If I want to be depressed I can watch CNN.
