Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) ***

This sequel to the 1984 hit is a hugely entertaining comedy/horror/satire about a bunch of vicious monsters taking over a New York high-rise. It's more ambitious, louder and scarier than the original. It's also more self-reflexive. It parodizes everything and everyone from Donald Trump and Leonard Maltin to Hulk Hogan, Busby Berkeley and Rambo. Great fun.
