The Witches of Eastwick

In need of a perfect chick flick you can actually watch this Halloween season? This George Miller gem will more than aptly fit the bill. A delightful combination of social commentary, sexuality, some great laughs and a few genuine scares sets THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK in a category all by itself. Not as serious in tone as the John Updike novel on which it is based it does manage to cover a lot of ground in it's two hour running time. Jack Nicholson has to work pretty damn hard to keep up with the power trio of Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon. These three ladies are in seriously top form here and are an absolute delight to behold. Also, one can't forget the knock-out performance given by Veronica Cartwright....she is downright diabolical here. Purists may find it a tad confusing at time...so be it...I think folks expect far too much from Hollywood sometimes...this is what you need it to be...serious, whimsy...you can take your pick...either way it's great fun!
