Movie Mogwai: Tiny Creature Features Movies Part 1
Anyways, lets begin with the article already!
On a snowy Christmas day, Billy Peltzer(Galligan), receives a Christmas present... a small furry creature called a Mogwa. Billy calls it Gizmo. Then Billy's dad Randall Peltzer(Axton) gives him three rules: "Don't expose him to bright light, don't ever get him wet, and don't ever, EVER feed him after midnight".
Also Billy meets his romance Kate(Cates). Billy accidentally pours water on Gizmo, causing Gizmo to multiply. And, he feeds all the Gremlins (except Gizmo) after midnight, causing the Gremlins to transform into evil, dangerous, and crazy monsters.
Now I don't want to give too much of the plot because I don't want to make the article too long, even though it is gonna be a long one.
Sounds like an Interesting plot, doesn't it? Well I actually think that for those who haven't watched the movie, the plot I gave you does not sound like the best plot ever. But believe me,watch it. It's a good flick.
Now I am not gonna give reviews of the movies, just my thoughts and experiences with it.
In my opinion, this is a great movie. It is funny, scary at times, and you will have a great time watching it. But even though it is my favorite movie of all time, it is not perfect. It feels a little short, but anyways it is and always will be my favorite film.
Also this film was one of the first movies to influence the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), as well as Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom. The scene that mainly influenced the MPAA for this rating was the awesome microwave scene.

My favorite moment in the film is the final battle at the store. The reason why is because it is pretty much dark and violent, and also a bit disturbing.
Also the 1st Gremlins is definitely way more darker than the 2nd one, but it still doesn't mean it is not a comedy based horror movie.
Overall Score:My score for this film is gonna be a:9.5/10.
A family is menaced by round, furry, basketball-sized creatures who come from space in search of food.The family, especially Helen Brown(Wallace) and Brad Brown(Grimes) have to protect themselves from these dangerous little creatures. As well as two bounty hunters - Ug(Terrence Mann) and Charlie(Opper), who will help them to exterminate the Critters.
Again, I don't want to give too much plot.
AND AGAIN, it wasn't that good a plot. I mean even though I didn't give too much, this one sounded exciting. But that does not mean it is the better movie.
Again, in my opinion this movie is great. And although a lot of people haven't seen it, they should. It's great! It's completely fun, and some moments are actually scary.
Also I should say this film is actually darker than Gremlins, but it is still comedy based.
But one of the down sides is it is a little slow paced. I definitely prefer the second one.
And it has one of my favorite movie themes ever:
My favorite scene happens to be one of the funniest scenes in the movie. There are two critters outside having a conversation:
Critter 1:They have weapons.
Critter 2:So what!
*They shoot Critter 2*
Critter 1:F*@k!
Well guys, thanks for reading this. I hoped you like it, and in the next part we will look at sequels to these movies and maybe a different film...
