Filmbalaya Reviews Gremlins (1984)

While browsing various blogs, I came across this post from about a week ago, and it is always nice to see people reviewing one of our favorite movies!

Filmbalaya recently decided to review Gremlins (1984) since Christmas is less than 6 months away and there is always time to enjoy some Gremlins and the Christmas cheer they bring.

A very brief but entertaining read, also check out their other very enjoyable movie reviews for some more  of your favorite most loved and maybe even hated films.

Snippet:

Here is a film to teach us a very important lesson in reading instructions. Before playing with your new Christmas toy, gadget, appliance, or in this case a Gizmo, one must not only pay close attention to the instructions, but follow them with meticulous care.

New Gremlins Fan Art!

This was scheduled to be posted Friday but somehow got lost somewhere on the internets.

Heyas all! I received a few more submissions for the oft-neglected Fan Art Friday, so I thought I would share a few with you all. Be sure to click on the images for the “embiggened versions”.

These are both done by Greg Parker, and are a great example of how people are still huge gremlins fans even 25 years after the release of the first film!

Avat-I mean The Last Airbender Movie Review

I should proably note two things right off the bat:
1. Uhhvitar The Last Uhhbender is actually the first chapter of the series “Book 1: Water”
2. I haven’t seen more than 2 or 3 episodes of the cartoon.

That said, last night I went along with a bunch of peoples to see M. Night Shaymin’s new film which I was quite excited to see since I know a good number of people who are huge Avatar (TV Cartoon, not the oversized Smurf allegory movie) fans. Not to mention that the trailers made it look like an entertaining popcorn wire-fu flick with some neat effects. We opted for the 3D version, since a few people that joined us wanted to experience a 3D movie for the first time.
We were treated to not just a 3D film but a Sony Pictures 4K 3D Movie! I asked the nice ticket lady what a 4K 3D movie was and if it had any relation to Capcom’s naming conventions (I.E “Super Street Fighter 13 Ex Plus Alpha Remix Unleashed Off The top rope 2: The Legend Begins: The Video Game” ) She said she had no idea. (Ok So I made the Capcom part up, but she honestly had no clue what the “Sony 4k” part meant)
Moving along, we got our glasses and headed to the theatre. I caught a glimpse of a Scott Pilgrim Vs The World poster and suddenly was excited that I might get to see the International Trailer in 3D! I dashed ahead into the theatre, where we split in to two groups. “Stupidly Close” and “Insanely Distant” in relation to the screen. I of course chose the Stupidly Close option since I have terrible judgement in life.
