Gremlins-A great 84 movie

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2003)

Anybody who doesn't like this movie just doesn't understand comedy. I thought this movie was excellent. It's about a son who got a Mowagi for Christmas, a cute furry animal that sings. The only thing is there are 3 simply rules you have to follow. Don't get them wet, don't feed them after midnight, and bright light can kill them. Sounds easy enough till he accidentlly spills water on them and instantly 3 or 4 others pop right out his Gizmo (voice by the wonderful Howie Mandel from St. Elsewhere). One night the Mowagis were begging for food, looking at the clock and seeing it wasn't quite midnight, Billy gives in and feeds them some chicken. When he wakes up the next morning they are in a nasty looking cocoon. All hell breaks loose when the mowagi, now gremlins, hatch and the town goes into haywire. They manage to kill all but one of the gremlins, Spike the leader. They trap him in the store and Gizmo saves the day by making the blinds raise showering Spike with bright lights just as he was in some water. 10 stars. Watch the hilarious Gremlins 2
