80s Flashback: Remembering the First ‘Gremlins’ Movie
25 May 2012 7:33 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
If there was one great gift the 80s gave us, it was the gift of the B-flick, horror movie. Malicious villains like Freddy Krueger and Jason were born in Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Both of these films kept children awake at night with nightmares of gruesome deaths. Parents regretted not heeding the “R” rating that drove those children into their beds. I still remember my dad waking up with bruises left from me kicking him in the back. Shame on him for allowing this five-year old kid to watch Freddy eviscerate everyone on Elm Street. The Gremlins was one movie that received acclaim during this era of low-budget horror. The story revolved around a young boy who received a pet Mogwai, named Gizmo, as a gift. However, much like the Amazing Spider-Man, with great Mogwai comes great responsibility. When two rules are broken, all hell breaks »

New on Blu-ray: Gremlins (1984) / Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
17 May 2012 7:27 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
“Gremlins” The rules are simple: don’t get him wet, don’t feed him after midnight, and whatever you do, keep him away from direct sunlight! Of course, Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) wouldn’t be an All-American boy if he followed all the rules. I mean, what’s the fun in that? So yeah, after getting a little furry creature called Gizmo just in time for Christmas from his traveling salesman dad, teenager Billy promptly breaks the first two rules. This results in the birth of the opposite of cute and cuddly and totally innocent Gizmo — the totally uncute, totally uncuddly, and totally not innocent gremlins! Gremlins is a wildly original roller-coaster ride of hilarious mischief. One minute your hair will stand on end, the next you’ll hold your sides with laughter at the havoc these supposedly gentle furballs create when the rules surrounding their care and feeding are inadvertently broken one fateful Christmas. »

A Planet Fury-approved selection of notable genre releases for May.
42nd Street Forever (2012) Blu-ray Available Now
225 minutes of pure awesome. Exploitation fans won’t want to miss Synapse Films' latest trailer compilation. This new release features theatrical trailers from the first two volumes with plenty of additional material. Enjoy classic horror, science fiction, action and exploitation coming attractions remastered in high definition. The 80+ titles include such grindhouse favorites as Dr. Butcher, MD, The Pom Pom Girls, Werewolves on Wheels, Savage Sisters, The Teacher, The Evictors and Chained Heat.
The Wizard of Gore/The Gore Gore Girls (1970/1972) Blu-ray Available Now
Something Weird’s Blu-ray release of Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Trilogy last year was a minor revelation. The Blood Feast print, presented in glorious high definition, was stunning in its gore-soaked clarity. All three films (including Two Thousand Maniacs and Color Me Blood Red) highlighted superior transfers, but Blood Feast was the standout. »

Blu-ray Review: ‘80s Hits ‘Gremlins,’ ‘Dirty Dancing’ & Their Sequels
15 May 2012 2:06 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The generation raised on movies of the ’80s is now the one that buys the most Blu-rays. And so it makes sense that more and more of the films of our youth are hitting the format. Again. And again. Lionsgate has turned releasing and re-releasing “Dirty Dancing” into an art form (and would never pass up the 25th anniversary without another re-release). And Warner Bros. has finally given both “Gremlins” and “Gremlins 2” an HD polish although one wishes they had given more care and love to Joe Dante’s gems. Oh yeah, you can also now own “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” on Blu-ray if there’s anyone out there who considers that valuable information.
It may say something about the war of the sexes but I imagine more men would choose the “Gremlins” 2-pack and more women would lean toward the “Dirty Dancing” 2-film collection on the new releases shelf. »

Gremlins 2 Hits Blu!
14 May 2012 2:37 PM, PDT | Trailers from Hell | See recent Trailers from Hell news »
That rhyming headline is bad, but the exclamation is real!
Almost missed this one, but Gremlins 2 has finally arrived on Blu-Ray.
Sure, there aren’t any new bonus features from the 2001 DVD. But, the transfer is all new. Haven’t gotten a look at it myself*, but Our Fearless Leader, when prompted, assured me that it looks, and I quote, “super good.” (Mr. Fearless Leader oversaw the transfer himself.) If you haven’t revisited Gremlins 2 in the last few years, now is the perfect time. The movie is splendid. (Actually, more than splendid; it’s splendidly unhinged!) Here’s a pretty glowing assessment from, of all places, Gawker!
Dante, Finnell and their screenwriter Charlie Haas had the studio by the balls and then kicked their movie in them for 107 minutes. Empowered by carte blanche, the team “ragged mercilessly” (Dante’s words from the commentary) on Gremlins in a blur of mocking references. »

23 April 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Julia Roberts, Nathan Lane, Mirror Mirror The Lucky One Movie Box Office: Zac Efron’s Third Best Opening At no. 3 this weekend behind Tim Story / Michael Ealy / Jerry Ferrara’s Think Like a Man and Scott Hicks / Zac Efron / Taylor Schilling’s The Lucky One, Gary Ross‘ The Hunger Games grossed a better-than-expected $14.66 million (-31%) in North America according to box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. The dystopic adventure drama based on Suzanne Collins‘ novel features Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Alexander Ludwig, Donald Sutherland, and Wes Bentley. The Hunger Games‘ domestic cume stands at $357.066 million, which places it as the 19th biggest box-office hit ever in the Us/Canada.

365 Days, 100 Films #95 - Gremlins (1984)
3 February 2012 11:51 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Gremlins, 1984.
Directed by Joe Dante.
Starring Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Frances Lee McCain, Corey Feldman, Dick Miller and Judge Reinhold.
Synopsis:
A small town is invaded by a gang of destructive creatures at Christmas.
“There’s a man out there. I-i-i don’t mean a man, I mean, I don’t know what I mean. I mean, maybe a…what did they call them during the war. You know, the pilots?…Gremlins. Gremlins!”
William Shatner whispers the above in his uniquely staccato way during The Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, arguably the most famous of Twilight Zone episodes. Boy, he sure looked like Orson Welles when he was younger.
He’s accompanied by melodramatic music and filmed in a distressed close-up, but the immense terror of the situation blinds you to its exaggerated style. Shatner, playing a man recently recovered from a nervous breakdown, keeps seeing a figure on the wing of his plane. »

Those unfamiliar with the story should have a look at the trailer for Nightbeasts below. In the clip, a father and son find something large and looming in darkness on a camping trip. A native legend talks of seven foot »
