Another year, another reason to celebrate all things Disney! Not only is Disneyland park celebrating its 68th anniversary (today), but the Walt Disney Company has been celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year…
It’s that time of year again! If there’s one thing you’ve probably learned about us over the past few years, it’s that we love autumn…
Disney fans may be celebrating the launch of Disneyland today (the park is now 67 years old!), but here at The Film Rewind we are celebrating that today marks the third anniversary of the launch of our blog!…
We know… We have been delayed in selecting our May Film Club Pick, again, but there were just so many good choices to consider, and so much going on this month, that our selection post just sort of got away from us. We guarantee that this will not become a bad habit…
The mystery: Who created a great cult classic film based on a board game? The solution: director Jonathan Lynn…in Hollywood…with Clue. It sounds impossible, but it’s true! Lynn not only made a movie based on a board game but made a pretty great movie based on a board game…
Happy Earth Day! A couple years ago, on the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, I asked the following question on this blog: “What will you do to clean up our planet?” This is a question I feel is even more pressing now than when I first wrote it…
We know… It is well over midway through the month and we, the Team at The Film Rewind, have yet to announce our film selection for April… What can we say?…
It was career day in elementary school. We were assigned to dress up as our future careers and make a presentation to the class. I stood up in front of the classroom in my Cardinals shirt, armed with my Mac Attack Vortex bat (this was long before any of us knew better than to idolize Mark McGwire), and proudly proclaimed that I would be a Major League Baseball player when I grew up…
I know you are probably wondering where our A League of Their Own (1992, dir. Penny Marshall) reviews are and why we, the Team at The Film Rewind, have been so quiet and hardly posting at all this month…
What a surprise: another Film Club pick that was previously a blind spot in my film viewing! That I hadn’t seen Funny Face before this week was most appalling because my favorite genre of film is the musical and two of my favorite movie stars are Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn…
If you are like me, and eagerly counting down the days until spring officially arrives, then you are in good company this year. Seriously, I have never been so over winter in my life! All the snow, ice, slush, freezing rain, sleet, and bitterly cold temperatures can end any time, and I will be perfectly fine…
The tagline says it: “A screwball comedy. Remember them?”. But Peter Bogdanovich’s What’s Up, Doc? is so much more than a mere screwball comedy. It is a film that celebrates the history of film comedy…
January can be such a difficult time of the year, between wrapping up the holiday season and settling in for a slight case of the winter blues, the cold winter days and abundance of snow and ice certainly don’t help elevate one’s mood…
I didn’t know what to expect in Ball of Fire. However, as the opening credits ran, I found myself getting more and more excited by the names that I saw, not only in the cast (with familiar faces like S. Z. Sakall and Henry Travers) but also in the crew (Gregg Toland as cinematographer, Edith Head as costume designer, Alfred Newman as composer). However…
The phrase ‘out with the old and in with the new’ is a particularly bittersweet sentiment this New Year’s Eve, as we have lost a genuine comedy legend, namely the one and only: Betty White. As the New Year is a particularly apt time to reflect on the past year (2020 2.0, right?)…
