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 Film Club
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…
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…
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 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…
Beauty and the Beast is one of those Disney movies that holds a special place in my heart, as the first Disney animated film released in my lifetime. I spent my first couple of years adoring the film, but, as I tended to do with films in my youth, I suddenly developed an intense fear of the Beast…
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…
