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 phrase ‘out with the old and in with the new’ is a particularly bittersweet sentiment this New Year’s Eve, as we have lost a genuine comedy legend, namely the one and only: Betty White. As the New Year is a particularly apt time to reflect on the past year (2020 2.0, right?)…
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…
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…
For those of you who have been living in resistance to the rise of the digital streaming service era, this week marked the second anniversary of the launch of Disney+, aka Disney’s very own (and rather limited) streaming platform. In celebration of their two-year anniversary…
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’s that wonderfully spooky time of year, and while I love watching some Hocus Pocus or wandering through a corn maze, I’m always reminded that I’m a ‘fraidy-cat' at heart. Today, I present to you my ultimate tale of cowardice, as I relate to you my personal history with the Child’s Play franchise…
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…
Fall is upon us, and what better way to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year than with a watch (or rewatch) of the seasonally-centered dramedy, Gilmore Girls (The WB/The CW, 2000-2007)?
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…
Ever since Sarah celebrated her 30th birthday by sharing the 30 movies that have been the most influential to her, I’ve been aching to piggyback off of this idea and make a list myself…
Today marks the second anniversary of the launch of our blog! We, the team at The Film Rewind, cannot believe that two years have already passed!? Particularly with the past year having felt like such a whirlwind…
