When life gives you lemons you can always say ‘screw it’ and go to Disney! At least that is what I ended up doing this year…
All in Classics
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…
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…
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?)…
The holiday season is upon us, and that means binge watching all of our favorite holiday films, right? Well, we, the team at The Film Rewind, just couldn’t quite land on a singular ‘holiday’ film, so we decided to go in a different direction entirely…
There is no denying the campiness of many of the classic Universal ‘Monster Movies,’ and Dracula (1931, dir. Tod Browning) is certainly no exception. (Don’t even get me started on the possums and armadillos…) I was probably first introduced to this film sometime in elementary school…
It is officially ‘Spooky Season!’ and I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for all the things that come with this time of year. Such as, the pumpkin carving, autumnal decorations, and, of course, all the horror and Halloween-themed films that I can cram into a measly 31 days…
Before this, my first viewing of Hold That Ghost, my experience with the comic team of Abbott and Costello began and ended with the classic “Who’s on First” routine. While I always loved the speed and cleverness of the sketch…
It is August, the sun has been shining, the birds have been singing, and all the “Spirit of Halloween” stores have begun popping up everywhere…
Ever since Sarah celebrated her 30th birthday by sharing the 30 movies that have been the most influential to her, I’ve been aching to piggyback off of this idea and make a list myself…
It’s been a few years since watching the film, but whenever I think of The Man Who Knew Too Much, I always first think of the infuriating scene where James Stewart’s Dr. Ben McKenna sedates Doris Day’s Jo before revealing to her that their son has been abducted…
