Choosing a film club pick for the month of December was a daunting task. There are so many holiday themed films that we adore and can’t wait to begin watching and revisiting once the Thanksgiving dishes are done...
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! When it comes to film and television, there are an overwhelming number of fun and festive topics to discuss here at The Film Rewind…
As soon as the film started, I knew that Home for the Holidays was the kind of film made especially for the likes of me. With thoughtful direction from a still-novice director, Jodie Foster, a witty, sardonic, yet deep screenplay by W. D. Richter, and great performances from the likes of Holly Hunter…
Few actresses in Hollywood come to mind when thinking about careers that have progressed successfully beyond childhood stardom. With several successful early film and TV roles…
Last night I started my exciting journey with Disney+. I was pretty impressed, and frankly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of titles that I now have at my fingertips instantly. From the classic animated films we all know and love, to the Disney Channel Original Movies…
It’s officially that special time of year when men rock that sweet upper lip hair, to the best of their ability, in order to promote men’s health awareness. Now, we here at The Film Rewind are certainly not the manliest…
November is a strange month. It is that month that gets lost in the post-Halloween pre-Christmas mayhem. Nowadays people appear more interested in “black Friday” shopping than…
I am not entirely sure how or why it happened, but I absolutely adore this “Pocus-sance” of the past five years or so. I love the Hocus Pocus memes that bless every corner of the internet in October…
If I had to pick one horror trend that does not appear to be going anywhere, anytime soon, it would be: zombies. The flesh-and-brain-eating, mutant, ghoulish humanoid-things of nightmares…
Yes, I am aware that Hollywood was producing far more in 1993 than the family-friendly content that I’m discussing here. I know full well that Steven Spielberg had two massive hits in Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park…
Whether you observe “Columbus Day” or “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” has become a semantical point of contention within the media right now. I say we take a cue from the delightful Nintendo video game series “Animal Crossing” and…
I loved Sarah’s list last week, full of recommendations featuring some of the best horror films that pair perfectly with the Halloween season. However, while several of her picks are some of my favorites, many of the most-loved horror movies are too scary for the likes of me…
October is a month that provides countless potential film club picks (for a list of some great horror film suggestions for this month, check out Sarah’s post from earlier this week), but for this month we didn’t even deliberate as to which film we would choose…
Finally, it is the first day of October, which means I can watch horror movies and spooky films, of all kinds, with gleeful abandon! Don’t get me wrong, I’m down to watch a good horror flick pretty much any time of the year…
For a film buff, especially a lover of classic films, I have seen a shamefully low amount of Lauren Bacall films. However, I do feel like I know Bacall and husband Humphrey Bogart’s stories pretty well…
You would be hard-pressed, in today’s society, to have grown up without being exposed to the works of Jim Henson. “The Muppets,” Sesame Street, and many more beloved puppet characters (Yoda, anyone?) that have appeared onscreen…
Tomorrow marks the first day of fall, but before you go full “pumpkin spice” everything, why not stop and celebrate that other autumnal favorite: the apple. There are so many ways to enjoy apple themed things…
It’s September, which means that it is almost time for the new Fall TV line-up to begin! With the current streaming culture, the old “TV schedule” seems immaterial, but various streaming services are beginning to re-examine the release of their original content…
We had so much fun last month, and we hope you did too, watching (or rewatching) The Wizard of Oz. This month, we wanted to go in a slightly different direction…
