Two classic films with movie milestones are on our radar right now. And while the announcement of our selections for January and February are well overdue…
All in Comedy
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…
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…
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 was born in 1991, at the height of Full House’s popularity. The show was on every day at my house. I think of it as the show that calibrated my sense of being. Watching Full House is my television equivalent of the fetal position…
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 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…
This week I traumatized myself, and my husband, by forcing us to try the Brach’s Thanksgiving Dinner with Coffee and Apple Pie candy corn. Luckily, we were watching Friends (NBC, 1994-2004) at the same time, or it would have been a wholly intolerable experience…
As the old ditty goes, “It’s the MIBs..here come the MIBs… here come the Men in Black.” And indeed, here they do come…
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…
