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…

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…
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…
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…
It is hard for us, here at The Film Rewind, to fathom that a certain British pop culture ‘icon’ is turning 25 years old! We are, of course, talking about…
The story of ‘Cinderella’ has been told and retold for centuries in various styles and media. The plot itself has become one of a handful of basic story types that the majority of narratives follow…
Is it Spring yet? Sadly, winter is clearly not anywhere close to being over (especially for those of us residing in New England), and even with the Spring equinox only a couple weeks away, March always seems to drag on… forever…
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…
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…
I never know where I’m going to land with these summer blockbuster blind spots. So far, my favorable viewing of Jaws (dir. Steven Spielberg) was later followed by a decidedly negative reaction to Independence Day 1996, dir. Roland Emmerich). I had a few reasons to go into Die Hard with high-ish hopes…
It's been hotly debated for as long as the earth has turned: Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween or Christmas movie?…
What a crazy rollercoaster November 2020 has turned into… Given the current state of things (what with the recent spike in COVID-19 cases, and ‘edge-of-your-seat’ results of the 2020 US Presidential Election), and the fact that most everyone is emotionally and mentally exhausted right about now, we have decided that we need a celebratory film to help bridge the gap between Halloween and Christmas…
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…
