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.

The Ultra-Meta Gremlins 2 Novelization

Found recently online, this is a great snipped of the Gremlins 2 Novelization and a breakdown of the “film break” scene that occurs within the book.

Ok so maybe it is more of a “Hostage scenario” than a film break, but hey whichever works!

Thanks to the readers that sent this in!

Chud.com’s Movie Of The Day is Gremlins 2: The New Batch

http://www.chud.com/articles/articles/23521/1/MOVIE-OF-THE-DAY-GREMLINS-2—THE-NEW-BATCH/Page1.html

A nice addition to the Movie Of The Day series, even though there are a couple minor mistakes in the article. Primarily I refer to the mention of “Obviously dead” characters returning. While it was implied that the Futtermans (brilliantly played by Jackie Joseph and Dick Miller) were in a “freak accident” involving a snowplow, they were not killed.

Granted in the original script and up until the test screenings, reports have said that they were indeed killed, and even mentioned by Lew Landers, but were removed at the reaction from the screening audiences. The Futtermans were very likable characters and having them be absolutely killed is a bit dark even for Gremlins.

{Rumor Mill} WHOIS behind Gremlins3.com and Gremlins3.co.uk?

The last couple weeks have been somewhat exciting regarding the possibility of Gremlins 3 becoming closer to reality due to some internet rumors.

A new piece of the puzzle has been flooding my inbox thanks to you readers regarding Warner Brothers parking a Gremlins 3 domain.
It seems that the previously unowned domains Gremlins3.com and Gremlins3.co.uk have been registered recently, and here is what we know:

{Rumor Mill} Gremlins 3 in 3-D?

Heyas All!

Thanks for all the emails and Instant Messages you guys and gals sent in regarding the new Gremlins 3-D rumors flying about.

(For those that aren’t aware here is the link:”http://www.collider.com/2010/01/25/ghostbusters-3-and-gremlins-3-possibly-in-3d-matt-remains-skeptical/“)

Alright, here is the official Gremlins Online take on things:

I was not planning on commenting on this due to the fact that it is nothing more than a rumor being spread by various gossip and rumor sites (AKA Perez Hilton, etc) and people are thinking it is a confirmed fact since their favorite blogger posted it.

Until we hear word that Gremlins 3 (Or Gremlins 3-D as the name likely will be if it were 3-D) has gotten a green light, and there is a production number assigned, it is nothing but rumor and speculation.

This is not to say that the rumors are absolutely without merit. 3-D films are proving to be a huge hit right now, with Avatar and recent Disney films raking in big bucks it is reasonable to speculate Gremlins being filmed in 3-D to make an exciting and fun Gremlins experience.

If we hear a specific source, there will be word, and I promise you if we get anything to add to the story, it will be posted here immediately.

As for the emails and messages, good looking out folks! Looks like there is a ton of interest in a new Gremlins film, and if it were to be in 3-d, it would be a great time for all in the theatre!
