On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Three gremlins eating!
Yes, yes, yes....if you want a good movie full of Christmas spirit, don't look to much further than Gremlins! Just remember that while you're waiting for Santa to deliver your gifts, you shouldn't feed the Mogwai.
While a father searches Chinatown for the perfect Christmas gift for his son, he comes across a mysterious little creature, called a Mogwai, in an antique shop. While the owner doesn't believe the man can handle the responsibility of having this pet, the owner's son sells it anyway because the store needs the income.
The man is given three simple rules in keeping the pet:
1. Never expose it to bright light (especially sunlight, which will kill it).
2. Never get it wet.
3. Most importantly: never, EVER, feed it after midnight.
The father, being an inventor, names the Mogwai Gizmo and presents it to his son along with the three rules.
When one of the rules is broken, craziness ensues as things spiral out of control in the household and the town.
My Rating:
3.38378 out of 5 Christmas Trees
This 80's cult classic is legendary, and it spawned (no pun intended) one of the hottest pop culture icons: Gizmo!
Who can forget that cute little furry koala bear/squirrel hybrid with his cute little voice that yelled "bright light!" whenever a light was shone on him?
The moment that will live with me for eternity is where the mother is walking through the house trying to find out what is scurrying about, and out of nowhere, the song "Do You Hear What I Hear" starts blaring! This would be the first time I ever heard the song, and to this day it still frightens me when I hear it.
The cast was pretty good, but when we talk about 80's movies, all you need are actors who are willing to go a little nuts. Corey Feldman, Zach Galligan and the beautiful Phoebe Cates give us just the right amount of comedy and horror to make this a movie to remember!
For a Christmas movie to make you afraid of a Christmas carol, you KNOW it's a movie to remember on the holidays!!
Give it a gander, I think you'll like it!
