Gremlins

Description

Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante. The plot follows a young man named Billy Peltzer who receives a mysterious creature called a mogwai as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters known as Gremlins. The film is a mix of black comedy and horror, as it explores the disastrous consequences of mishandling the mogwai, and the ensuing chaos caused by the Gremlins.

The film's concept was developed by Chris Columbus, who wrote the screenplay. It was produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Gremlins was a commercial success upon its release, grossing over $212 million worldwide against a budget of $11 million. It received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, who praised its blend of humor and horror, as well as the creature designs and visual effects.

Despite the film's success, it also generated controversy due to its violent content, which led to the creation of the PG-13 rating in the United States. The film's popularity spawned a merchandising franchise, including toys, clothing, and video games. It also spawned a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, which was released in 1990. A third film has been in development for several years, with Dante expressing interest in returning to direct, but as of 2021, no official confirmation has been made regarding its production.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

An amusingly ridiculous black comedy "Seven Psychopaths" is a McDonagh's next masterpiece created in a black comedy genre. It tells the story about an author, Marty who is out of inspiration to finish his novel "Seven Psychopaths". Marty is played by an Irish actor, Collin Farrell who may be known to you by his roles in Minority Report (2002), In Bruges (2008) and Total Recall (2012). His friend Billy tries his best to help Marty to finish writing the book "inspiring" him by getting into the troubles, constantly. Billy is portrayed by Sam Rockwell, who is known to you as Sam Bell from Moon (2009) and Kenneth Waters from Conviction (both are serious roles in the serious films with lots of awards and nominations). Billy is a pure criminal with sadistic attitudes, but he is lovely one. Besides his kind heart, he has a crime-partner Hans. This next psychopath is played by Christopher Walken. This great American actor needs no introduction – you know his awesome roles in Kill the Irishman (2012), Hairspray (2007) and Man of the Year (2006). The next psychopath is Charlie (portrayed by Woodrow Tracy "Woody" Harrelson: No Country for Old Men, The Messenger, Defendor, Zombieland). His beloved dog, a rare Shih Tzu was kidnapped by Billy and Hans, and all the movie's action unfolds in this pivotal point. There we meet Angela, played by the "Bond Girl" Olga Kurylenko, Kaya (Abbie Cornish) and Zachariah (Tom Waits) – the last two of the "Seven Psychopaths".
