Daily Vid: GREMLINS vs. DRAGON!
Take yourself back to a happier place before CGI killed the creature feature!
Joe Dante's classic 80's creature feature comedy/horror Gremlins has recently become kind of "the unofficial OWF Film" in recent weeks. If you have been reading the great reviews Michael Edwards has been conducting for us recently you will know why. So I could hardly pass up this new advert as our next Daily Vid (it's still daily - we are writing off yesterday as if it never happened after our terrible server trouble).

It's great when a company goes fully into remaking something classic like this and doing it in such a faithful manner. That's Peter Jones by the way if you can't tell, from Dragon's Den (hence the title) who actually pulls off some good acting impressions in this commercial for U.K. network provider BT. Crazy as it sounds, it's often publicity generated from stunts like this that get movie execs talking about resurrecting franchises for future films. MMM, I just wonder... DAILY VID - A brand new feature where we showcase one video I have found cool, humorous, insightful, interesting or all of the above!
