	Joe Dante (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Joe Dante was born on November 28 1946 in Morristown N.J in the USA.
		Dante directed his first film in 1978, it was Piranha which was a Jaws spoof.
		The next film from Dante was the Howling, which is believed by many to be the greatest Werewolf film ever made.

	Joe Dante's American apocalypse
		In the jargon of Canadian literary critic Northrop Frye, Joe Dante is a low-norm satirist.
		Invaluable as a tool for satire, montage is also Dante's preferred formal procedure for producing what most modern filmmakers try to produce through its opposite, duration: the experience of the Sublime, which is consciousness of self raised to an apocalyptic pitch.
		The dream that followed, in the film Dante was never given time to find in the editing room because Paramount wanted it in theatres before Ron Howard's Cocoon (US 1985), would have linked all the characters through their dream life as part of a whole analogous to Teilhard de Chardin's "noosphere" or World Mind.

	Joe Dante
		Date of Birth: November 28, 1946 A self-proclaimed lifelong movie fanatic, Joe Dante began his career in film as a teenager by writing articles for Castle of Frankenstein, a fanzine for horror film addicts.
		It was Dante's first experience with 35mm prints, but he quickly learned the process while on the job.
		Along with co-director Allan Arkush, Dante made Hollywood Boulevard (1976), a humorous film about the fictitious small time film company Miracle Pictures, whose motto is "If it's a good picture, it's a Miracle." Dante went on to direct two horror films, Piranha (1978) and The Howling (1981).

	Joe Dante (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Dante originally wanted to be a cartoonist and went to art school to pursue his ambition, but eventually he switched to film.
		Dante was unhappy with the experience and when the film was released, it was an undeserved financial failure and was dismissed by many critics.
		Dante consciously made the film to appeal to a broader audience, and although the satire seems subdued, the film is still enormous fun and one of Dante's most all-round entertaining films.

	King of Zembla
		Dante finally consented to meet us for that long-delayed conversation, and we are pleased to report that we found him every bit as amiable, gracious, engaging, and brainy as his splendid body of work had led us to imagine.
		DANTE: There is a horror comic quality to the images, which was done in part to get around the limited budget (you can have three zombies for this scene, but two can only have makeup on one side of their faces).
		DANTE: Honestly, the bad taste factor kicked in for me when we were shooting the scene at Dover Air Force Base where the dead soldiers emerge from their coffins, draped in American flags.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Gremlins -- Joe Dante - DVD - Wide Screen
		In 1990, Dante directed a sequel, which concentrated more on comedy than fright, but it's the original Gremlins that stays in moviegoers' minds.
		This comic Joe Dante effort is set in a Norman Rockwell-esque small town at Christmastime.
		Like most of Joe Dante's works, Gremlins is chock-full of significant cameo appearances: in this instance, such pop-culture icons as Dick Miller, Jackie Joseph, Chuck Jones, Scott Brady, Harry Carey Jr., Steven Spielberg (the film's executive producer) and even Robby the Robot all show up briefly on screen.

	village voice > film > Homecoming by Dennis Lim
		At once galvanic and cathartic, Dante's film uncorks the rage that despondent progressives promptly suppressed after last year's election and that has only recently been allowed to color mainstream coverage of presidential untruths and debacles.
		Dante, the Roger Corman protégé who went on to direct Innerspace and both Gremlins movies, has been known to embed wayward subversions in Hollywood genre pieces (he also previously attempted an all-out political satire in the 1997 HBO movie The Second Civil War, just out on DVD).
		Dante and writer Sam Hamm (Batman) adapted Homecoming from Dale Bailey's "Death and Suffrage," a 2002 short story that puts a morbidly literal spin on the idea of the dead being used to pad the Chicago voting roll.

	Arrow In The Head's movie review of Gremlins: Zach Galligan/Billy, Phoebe Cates/Kate, Dick Miller/Murray
		Dante is obviously a fan of the B Movie genre because I felt the love for it ooze through the screen.
		Cast Commentary (feature length): Joe Dante talks the most and on the upside, what he says is interesting but on the downside, I wanted to hear more from the actors.
		With the commentary on, you'll hear Joe Dante explain why the scenes were there and why they were cut out, Zach Galligan keeps re-integrating how he doesn't remember shooting the scenes in question and Phoebe Cates just doesn't seem like she wants to talk.

	24fps \| Under the Mushroom Cloud: American Fear in Joe Dante's Matinee
		Dante treats the kids much more seriously than their well-intentioned but clueless parents, where Dante satirizes both political sides equally.
		Sandra's parents attend the screening of Mant precisely because it is their right to do so, and when her father launches into a tirade against censorship Sandra simply says "I know" with the perfect note of bemused petulance of a child who knows her parents better than they know her.
		Dante slips in such apocalyptic jokes as Sherry listening to "It's the End of the World" and movie posters trailing end-of-the-world epics Panic in Year Zero and The Day the Earth Caught Fire.

		There is a great alternative supermarket, called Trader Joe's, which is a health freaks dream, and a frugal penny pinchers greatest asset.
		I will post a link, so you may see if you live near one, for the fact that I love this place, for their variety, and their prices, and for which reason, I want to give them a plug (and hopefully do someone a favour, if they live near one).
		Trader Joe's is killer, my wife loves shopping there and they have all the cheap and natural foods there.

		Where the original Gremlins was a horror film spiked with comedy, Gremlins 2: The New Batch is essentially a fl comedy, with a couple of horrifying touches.
		Director Joe Dante has filled the film with quick verbal and visual jokes, which, for many, makes Gremlins 2: The New Batch a satire and inversion of the typical horror film.

	Horror Movies and More \| BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM
		Over the years Dante has managed to drop a decent flick into the barrel about twice a decade but the last time I can remember watching something he directed and actually enjoying the experience was way back in 1993 when he lampooned the atomic age while releasing Matinee on the world.
		Dante would have you believe that Homecoming is a political satire under the guise of a horror film.
		Dante’s political vision may have clouded his judgment and in times of war that might be overlooked, but his failure as a filmmaker in allowing a dull, pointless, humorous and grotesquely ridiculous feature out into the world is purely unforgivable.

	Excerpts In Terror: Director Joe Dante (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Joe Dante started his film career at Roger Corman's New World Studios as a Promotion specialist editing trailers.
		Dante has since then worked with the best of the best in all fields of movie making as well as several television projects but his most famous piece is probably still Gremlins.
		After a five year break from directing for the cinema Joe was back in 1998 with Small Soldiers.

	Zombies Attack George Bush By Grady Hendrix
		Dante delivers the thrill of watching familiar figures spin the issues and dole out doublespeak, yet he doesn't stint on the satisfaction of seeing them have their brains eaten afterwards.
		Dante has always had an ax to grind—his film Small Soldiers was an anti-violence carnival of killer toys and even the lovable Gremlins had an anti-consumption message.
		While Dante's film will no doubt raise hackles, my guess is that most members of the military would get a kick out of this flick that praises the troops in Iraq while offering up the politicians and pundits who sent them there as finger food for the undead.

	The CHUD.COM Message Boards - Joe Dante is so, so underrated.
		"The Howling" may be the best Werewolf picture of all time, and for that alone Joe Dante deserves a special place in the hearts of movie buffs worldwide.

		Dante, like Nicholas Meyer, gets "asked" a lot, but just doesn't head out into the field unless it's something he's really into.

	Hollywood Boulevard Review (1976) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Two of producer Roger Corman's editors at the time, Allan Arkush and Joe Dante, were keen to make the jump to film directing and this was their big chance.
		As an indication of how tiny the budget was, Arkush and Dante had obviously resorted to driving around and shooting the city; there's at least a couple of minutes where Candy and company get lost on the way to the drive-in and we get travelogue footage instead.
		But it becomes clear there is a killer on the loose when Mary is almost killed in an explosion while performing in a stunt, and the film turns serious, with a graphic murder of one character that seems out of place compared to the previous fun-filled frolics.

	PG-13 at 20: How 'Gremlins' and 'Indiana Jones' remade Hollywood - PittsburghLIVE.com
		Joe Dante, the director of "Gremlins," and later "Small Soldiers" and "Looney Tunes: Back in Action," blames the backlash on the early trailers.
		Dante says the spots also were deliberately "imitating the color and style of the 'E.T.' ads" from two years earlier, hoping to draw people in based on Spielberg's producer credit.
		Dante recalled an old B-movie saying: "An older child will not watch anything a younger child will watch, but a younger child will watch anything that an older child will watch."

	Masters Of Horror Reviews \| PITOFHORROR.COM \| Online Horror Movie Resource
		Joe Dante proves that he's still one of the Masters Of Horror with this politically-charged helping of hair-raising terror.
		In this entry to the new and exciting series, Masters of Horror, Joe (The Howling) Dante returns to his roots in horror, but gives us a bold political statement in the process.
		I commend Joe Dante, Mick Garris, and Showtime for having the balls to speak out against these types of politics and satirizing one of the most controversial wars of our time.

		First of all Dante packs quite a few moves similar to Joe’s to use in combat but they’re specifically tailored to take advantage of his style and fighting prowess.
		While it doesn’t hurt the gameplay, it is a bit disappointing to not be able to hear Dante’s trademark cool voice or even boss character’s as they deliver their new dialogue.
		Joe is back for more action on the PS2 and this time he's brought along a couple familiar faces.

	Looney Tunes: Back in Action
		The films of director Joe Dante, including Gremlins (1984), Explorers (1985) and Innerspace (1987), frequently contain outrageous visual sequences and moments of irreverent humour that evoke the spirit of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons.
		Dante therefore seems like the ideal person to resurrect the Looney Tunes characters for the 21st century, and make up for the previous disappointing Looney Tunes animation/live action hybrid Space Jam (1996).
		As for the new jokes, the stand out scene is surely the moment when, after the main characters arrive in Paris, Elmer Fudd pursues Bugs and Daffy through the Louvre, with the animated characters diving into a series of classic paintings and leaving chaos in their wake.
