Live Webchat with Joe Dante and FilmClub

Joe Dante

Joe Dante is the man who brought us Gremlins, Innerspace and The ‘Burbs in the 1980s, then took us all the way to the small TV-land town of Eerie, Indiana before a tussle with some Small Soliders only to return to the big screen in 3D no less with his nightmare inducing The Hole from [...]




Christmas Video Vault – Gremlins

Gremlins

‘Tis the season to wreck havoc. Joe Dante’s 1984 tale of that loveable and unique Christmas gift which turns out to be more trouble than he’s worth is now a firm festive favourite, and similar to Die Hard, it has earned a loving place on that list whilst using the holidays ostensibly as a hook [...]




Video Vault: The ‘Burbs

Today’s Video Vault has Hayley Stovold showing off the neighbourhood. Although it was first released in 1989, The ‘Burbs is still as exciting and watchable as ever. Over two decades later, the film still confronts current issues, albeit slightly dramatised. A black comedy/thriller, The ‘Burbs is set in a small suburban town, Hinkley Hills, and [...]

Joe Dante’s work has always relied on finding a cast with a curiousity and vulnerability to bring the ordinary to the extraordinary, and in his lead actor for The Hole in 3D he has found the right man for the job.

Dante & Firth to make Corman biopic

Joe Dante

After first making a name for himself in the 70′s and 80′s with Gremlins, Piranha, The Howling and Innerspace, Joe Dante went a little quiet, popping up occasionally for lesser fare such as Small Soldiers, Looney Tunes: Back in Action and Matinee. Well, he is back on the scene now with new 3D feature The [...]
