Zach Galligan Joins Hatchet 3
29 May 2012 5:06 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
If you were watching Gremlins last Christmas, and wondering to yourself whatever happened to that nice young Billy Peltzer, you need now look no further than the continuing chronicles of Victor Crowley. Zach Galligan has just joined the cast of Hatchet 3.Far from disappearing after the two attacks by transmogrified Mogwai in 1984 and 1990, Galligan has stayed busy in genre fare like the Waxwork and Warlock films, but Hatchet will be his highest-profile gig in a while (if you consider Hatchet high-profile; it's all relative). He'll be playing "Sherrif Fowler". He's not the only cult horror stalwart that'll be showing up either. Returning from earlier in the series are Kane Hodder (Jason in various Friday 13ths) and Danielle Harris (various Halloweens, Stake Land), and they're joined this time by Derek Mears (both recent Hills Have Eyes, the 2011 Friday 13th), Caroline Williams (Stretch from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Diane Goldner (Feast) and Sean Whalen »

Three New Victims Sign Up for Hatchet 3
29 May 2012 1:51 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Whoa. They’re making a “Hatchet 3″? For real? Apparently 2010′s “Hatchet 2″ did better than I thought it did, though you wouldn’t know it from its non-existent theatrical run. But again, films like these always do better on DVD and cult screenings. But it had to have turned a profit, because “Hatchet 3″ is on its way and set for a 2012 release. Zach Galligan, most famous for the two “Gremlins” movies, will be joining the franchise opposite series stars Kane Hodder as unstoppable killer Victor Crowley and his nemesis Marybeth (Danielle Harris, who took over the role in the second film). Galligan will play Sheriff Fowler, described as “a hard-nosed head of police”, while fellow new castmember Cody Blue Snider will play “a gun-loving deputy”. The two will also be joined by Rileah Vanderbilt as a Swat commando. The third film, set to shoot outside of Louisiana this week, will be directed by B.J. McDonnell, »

80s Flashback: Remembering ‘Gremlins 2: The New Batch’
29 May 2012 10:19 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Last week, we took a look back at the first Gremlins movie. This week, it’s on to Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Although I had not watched the movie in nearly two decades, there were a few things I remembered about the sequel before sitting down to rewatch. For starters, as a kid, it was a more fun movie than the original film. “The new batch” had powers. When you’re a kid, powers are all the rage. I remembered that at least one Gremlin could talk perfect English, while another darted around the screen like it had the powers of Electro (an Amazing Spider-Man villain from Marvel Comics). I also recalled the story taking place in New York and Gizmo wearing a red bandana – though I couldn’t for the life of me remember why Gizmo would be wearing gang colors.
Gremlins 2 begins similar to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. »

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 »

You have less than two days to donate to this Kickstarter campaign. Why do you keep waiting?
Julia Marchese starts with a simple question:
What would you give to preserve the rich history of cinema?
Then a call to action:
Help us to preserve the cinema stories and experiences from the past century.
Then the very point of the whole thing:
When we lose the rich tapestry of roots, we lose something very important…a vital, life-giving thing.
The whole thing is, of course, a film called Out of Print that aims to be about repertory cinema, about the well-being of our cinematic heritage (the most important cultural artifact and catalog of the last 100 years), and, about, most of all, The New Beverly Cinema here in Los Angeles, California.

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. »

Digital Fury: DVD Essentials for May

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. »

Today, people, is a very good day. A day we've been anticipating for quite some time. Warner Brothers has officially unleashed the madness and mayhem of both Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch on Blu-ray, and we have a couple of clips and the skinny on the extras. Dig it!
“Gremlins is a wildly original roller-coaster ride of hilarious mischief.

Written by Chris Columbus and directed by Joe Dante, Gremlins unleashes special effects that dazzle and enchant and merriment that lingers in the memory. And isn’t that “what superior popular moviemaking is all about” (Richard Corliss, Time).”

The Avengers: 5 Movies That Destroyed New York Before Loki
8 May 2012 4:35 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Manhattan may well be the commercial, financial and cultural centre of the United States, but if cinema has taught us anything it is also the epicentre for evil, its famed skyline the backdrop to some of Hollywood’s biggest disasters, and favourite holiday hotspot for mutants, monsters and mad men. The most recent example of this is Marvel’s box office record buster “The Avengers” in which the Earth’s mightiest heroes go to battle with Loki and the demented Chitauri race. But have you ever wondered what other threats the Big Apple has faced over the years? Well wonder no more.
Here is What Culture’s list of the 5 biggest threats New York has faced in recent cinematic history.
05. Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th part 8: Jason takes Manhattan, 1989)
