Summary: Entertaining
Review: This has romance, magic, female bonding, and even a little bit of horror and is one of my Halloween favorites. Before I saw this movie, I had a very low opinion of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, and I actually watched it because of Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing. After watching it, however, my opinion went way up for Kidman and Bullock. My guy friends have all told me they "don't get" the female bonding scene over tequila in the kitchen, but for those of us who have gotten drunk with our girlfriends after a hard week at work and dealing with the men in our lives, it is probably very real. I think it's the best scene in the movie.

Summary: To live and to die in strange circumstances.
Review: This was a fun movie, a romp through a fantasy life of three generations of witches. The house was set somewhere in Maine but the action took place in some strange places. It almost makes one belief that witchcraft is alive and well in the modern age.The two older witches were especially good. Sandra Bullock, on the other hand, was playing a continuation of her character in HOPE FLOATS, same funky outfits and the acting just the same. These beautiful witches had the bad luck to always kill the men they love. No matter how many potions they tried to concoct, nothing ever came out right. The little ones had no special magic, and yet their peers called them witches just the same. The living dead had eyes like Riddick. Now, I understand where he got his strength; he was already dead. What'd he have to lose? I enjoyed this romp, but I have always been interested in how the women in Salem and along the Eastern coast were burned as witches. Even Guinevere in Richard Harris' version of CAMELOT was 'almost' killed as a witch. Thank God, she was rescued by her Sir Lancelot to waste away in a nunnery. What a price women have to pay when they love the wrong men! Can love travel back in time and heal a broken heart? I like to think so.
