For: an interesting story with some genuinely moving moments; good candidate for summer blockbuster remake--I'm looking at you Jackson. Spielberg. Lucas. (OK, prolly not Lucas)
Against: in reality, if the Triffids, as they appear in the film, had their "day," mankind would totally just laugh at them--they look ridiculous!
For: very attractive naked ladies; very attractive naked ladies engaging in sexual activities.Against: a protaginist who looks like what you might imagine waits behind the glory hole in your local porn shop's men's room; three sets; poor editing that produces sex marathon sessions that last for days; for a comedy, not very funny; shitty looking killer plant.
For: a cheesy musical score and literally NOTHING else!
Against: actors that makes even Keanu Reeves look like Sir Ian McKellen; actually makes you stupider as you watch it.
For: witty script; wonderfully wacky characters.
Against: loses steam toward the end (Seymour is hypnotized by Audrey Jr.); yet another shitty looking killer plant.
For: remains fairly interesting throughout, thanks to some of that world-famous Japanese overacting; hot Asian girls in bikinis.
Against: snickering mushroom people do not a proper horror film baddie make.
And the winner...as if you didn't figure it out weeks ago: The Little Shop of Horrors! This film was literally shot in two days and it still trounces every other movie in our smackdown (although, to be fair, Killer Plant Smack-Down had a whole lot more to love than the Pinocchio Smack-down, which took me two months to complete--it's hard to want to continue with something when film after film sucks so hard).
