Practical Magic

Griffin Dunne of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON fame takes the director's chair in this adaptation of the Alice Hoffman novel and the results are truly magical. With the rollicking performances of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in the lead, this film gives us a full plate of female complexity at it's best. Like many of my little blurbs here in blog land I really hate to give away the story to those who've not yet seen it. Rather, I think my job here is to give you some little tidbits on the actors involved and a thumbs up or down as to if it is worth a couple of hours of your time. PRACTICAL MAGIC is well worth your time, especially if you are a guy in need of a dvd for the lady as this is a seriously fun chick flick that won't bore the living shit out of you. Besides, any film having Nicole Kidman, who I think is the most beautiful woman in the world, dancing around in a skimpy outfit is worth any red blooded male's time! Superb supporting work from Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest only cement Dunne's accomplisment here and look for SID & NANCY's Chloe Webb who has some of the best lines in the whole damn thing!
