Review of Practical Magic (1998) by Lara C — 28 Dec 2010

"There is a little witch in every women.".

Magic. Sweet. A Witch.

Sally and Gillian Owens have always known they were different. Raised by their aunts after their parents' death, the sisters grew up in a household that was anything but typical--their aunts fed them chocolate cake for breakfast and taught them the uses of practical magic. But the invocation of the Owens' sorcery also carries a price--some call it a curse: the men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death. Now adult women with very different personalities, the quiet Sally and the fiery Gillian must use all of their powers to fight the family curse and a swarm of supernatural forces that threatens the lives of all the Owens women.

I trully love this movie. I've seen it a thousands times. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, great duo, love those two...then there are aunts, don't forget them, every family should have them. Life is more interesting that way.

Little bit of potions, little bit of spells and everything is crazy. Plus that gorgeous Goran Visnjic =).

Aunt Frances Owens: Barbados lime is just the thing.

Aunt Jet Owens: Cragged salt like a sailor's stubble!

Aunt Frances Owens: Flip the switch and let the cauldron bubble!

Sally Owens: [cuts her hand] My Blood.

[cuts Gillian's hand].

Sally Owens: Your Blood.

Sally Owens: And I don't want them dancing naked under the full moon!

Aunt Jet Owens: No, of course. The nudity is entirely optional. As you well remember!

Enjoy!
