Practical Magic :

Cast : Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing, Aidan Quinn

Rated PG13 for some violance, intense thematic elements and sensuality.


Reel Review

Fun and excitement abound in the Owens family of wily witches. One problem, though: the men the Owens woman fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman sparkle in Practical Magic, adapted from Alice Hoffman's bestseller and directed by Griffen Dunne (addicted to love), They play Sally and Gillian Owens, sisters hexed by a centuries-old curse, and coping with a witches brew of events involving a possible love match (Aidan Quinn) for one, a zombie (Goran Visnjic) for the other and a need to resume the age-old witchcraft taught by two doting Owens aunts (Stockyard Channing and Dianne Wiest). Sit for a spell and enjoy!

Eric: Hi Amethyst, how are you tonight

Amethyst: Good Eric, how about yourself?

Eric: doin okay so far

Amethyst: well thats good to hear

Eric: It's October again, time for Octoberfest and Halloween

Amethyst: Yes it is, too bad we aren't in Germany for the actual Octoberfest

Eric: true, and I agree

Amethyst: that would be a fun event to be able to attend

Eric: agreed, so here we go, another Halloween and we watched an old classic "Practical Magic"

Amethyst: Yes we did,

Eric: It's an interesting movie, I'm not into the ladies type movies, but I like this one.

Amethyst: when I first saw it back when it originally came out, I figured it could either be really good and interesting or it could get really stupid.

Eric: True, but it's really good, and had all the actresses I personally like

Amethyst: I agree. I have been a fan of most of the actors and actresses for a long time now.

Eric: what I like is the story line, and the history given in the beginning

Amethyst: That is what caught my interest when I saw it the first time. It gave you the reason of why things happened along the generations of women in this family. It also had finally shown the wiccan/pagan rituals in a positive light instead of a negative "evil" light that some people have when you mention the word witch.

Eric: Very true, and that is what I thought I was gonna see, but it was better than that, but they did play into the dark side of what they sneered at, and it got them into trouble

Amethyst: This is very true, what most people have to realize even about life in general. is that, it's not all good or all bad but if you turn your nose up at they way you were raised it can come back to bite you in the butt.

Eric: True, and I liked Officer Hallot, he was cool, but professional

Amethyst: I noticed that when he first met Sally and Gillian he possibly had a preconcieved notion on what he would find compared to what he actually found. This goes to show that you can't , or I should say shouldn't make a judgement call based on what someone else may believe to be true.

Eric: True, but he figured it all out in the end, and still got the girl, and I liked the green eye, blue eye thing in the spell, that was cool

Amethyst: This is true. One thing I think the movie did have was it's sense of family values. It made you realize that you have to be responsible for your actions, BUT it also showed that if you have the love and support of your family you can get through anything as long as you do it together.

Eric: Agreed, so in ending, what is you appraisel of the movie?

Amethyst: I REALLY liked it, that is why I would reccomend it to people if they haven't already see it, it is a must see. I would give it a 5 out of a 5 star rating. I could watch this movie over and over.

Eric: Okay, and I liked it also, I'll give it 4 1/2 stars. And agree, if they haven't seen it, they should.

Eric: Thanks for coming, I enjoyed this review with you

Amethyst: No problem, any time. I enjoyed being here.

Eric: okay, I'll see you next month

Amethyst: Ok, I look forward to it.

Eric: Good Night

Amethyst: Good Night
