All in Comedy
Ugh. Been donkeys since writing post for blog. Bad reviewer. No consistency. No future. Had no idea what to expect when committing to reading BJD for Film Club. Most surprised to learn that it was a British story, as knew that Renee Zellweger was Bridget in film…
Time flies when you are having ‘fun…’ and with all the things that have been going on this month, April has turned into a bit of a blog post dry spell…
Some Like it Hot (1959) undoubtedly has one of the best punchlines in cinema history. Even with the lore that remains surrounding this film’s troubled production, and the onset clashes between director Billy Wilder and actress Marilyn Monroe, what shines through and remains timeless is the comedy of this film…
Whether you are an avid fan of Valentine’s day, or believe that it is an arbitrary ‘holiday’ created by the greeting card companies, there is bound to be some sort of ‘romantic’ movie marathon that will appeal to you. No matter how, or if, you plan on celebrating Valentine’s Day this year…
Happy February! It's the coldest, shortest month of the year, and yet there's still so much to celebrate, even in 2021. We here at The Film Rewind have decided to turn up the heat and celebrate Valentine's Day this month with our Film Club pick…
It has been a long time since I watched Three Men and a Baby (1987), and its sequel, Three Men and a Little Lady (1990), and I was honestly expecting not to like either film…
2021 is shaping up to be just as intense as 2020 (we weren’t all hoping that some magical spell would be broken at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve… right!?!), and if the first couple weeks into the new year have shown us anything…
Ever since my first viewing of Modern Times (1936), I have been enraptured by Charlie Chaplin, and with each film that I experience in his filmography, my love grows. From Shoulder Arms (1918) to City Lights (1931), his infusion of comedy and pathos has never failed to both charm and move me. In his Little Tramp character, we see humanity peeking through a veil of suffering…
I didn’t know what to expect going into watching The Great Dictator (1940). Admittingly, this was one Charlie Chaplin film that I have somehow managed to bypass throughout my studies and viewing, having watched certain clips here and there…
🎵 “I put a spell on you, and now you’re mine…” 🎵 We, the team at The Film Rewind, cannot hear this song (any time of year) without thinking about Bette Midler and her delightful performance as Winifred Sanderson in Hocus Pocus (1993)…
Being on the verge of my 30th Birthday (yup, the big 3-0) I cannot help but reminisce about all of the films that have had such a major impact upon my life…
Nothing screams Halloween quite like a good, old-fashioned movie marathon. Whether horror films are your jam…
With the slim pickings and lackluster viewing options (what with the pandemic putting a damper on traditional production and release timelines), I tend to find myself aimlessly cycling, clicking, and searching through my various streaming platforms…
Over the last year, I undertook the task of cataloging my film collection and have reached the point where my existing collection is completely cataloged and I can simply add any new DVDs and Blu-Rays that come into the house. However, I have also come to the stunning realization that…
It is that time of year again, graduation season is upon us, but we cannot help but notice the changes and somberness that the pandemic has had upon the usual pomp and circumstance associated with this major life milestone…
Y’all stressed about the world in general right now? Because I am stuh-ressed. Never fear, fair readers. I am here to offer you a safe, warm haven that’s always open, even in the darkest of times…
