"Monday" is my (self-given) "day-off" in a week (in Singapore time anyways), but it'll be interesting to see how many folks'll tune in on a "Sunday" (timezone is a "thing"), cheers.
FILM: "Gremlins" (1984)
SYNOPSIS: "A young man inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town." (IMDb / Watch on Amazon)
Directed by Joe Dante, written by Chris Columbus. Stars Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Gotta love the "THREE RULES", because you know any movie is sure to breaker all MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
FILM: "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" (1990)
SYNOPSIS: "The Gremlins are back, and this time, they've taken control of a New York City media mogul's high-tech skyscraper." (IMDb / Watch on Amazon)
Joe Dante returns to direct, written by Charles S. Haas with Zach and Phoebe returning as well. At least they are creating more "uglier" evil Gremlins and not more cuddly ones to make as "toys"...? LOL
FILM: "The Dark Knight" (2008)
SYNOPSIS: "The Dark Knight reunites Christian Bale with director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat known as The Joker." (Watch on Amazon)

Stars Christian Bale, (the late) Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Maggie Gyllenhaal (who replaces Katie Homes in "Batman Begins") as "Rachel".
Assorted Hot Toys' JOKER listings (for your reference):
FILM: "(The) Outrage" (2010)
SYNOPSIS: "The boss of a major crime syndicate orders his lieutenant to bring a rogue gang of drug traffickers in line, a job that gets passed on to his long-suffering subordinate." (IMDb / M18)
Written, directed by and stars Takeshi Kitano. The sequels to this film include "Beyond Outrage" (2012) and "Outrage Coda" (2017). I've actually watched both, and would recommend the first film. One and Done works fine, cheers. Enjoyed the ever omni-present "cutting finger"-scene for all yakuza films tho :p
