Movie #3672 "Practical Magic" (Disney) Kind of ironic a movie about witchcraft is on Disney back in the day, but in these days, not surprised when I was looking for where I could stream this classic. I hadn't seen it before, so I sat and watched it to prep for the sequel, and I'm glad I did. Why? I love all the actors in it: Bullock, Kidman, Wiest, Channing, and even the men. I especially. enjoyed watching Evan Rachel Wood as the oldest daughter of Bullock. (and i was disappointed when she didn't play the same role in Part 2). Anyway, This film did seem worthy of its cult classic status because it was entertaining, well acted, creepy in parts and well filmed. However, I was surprised it took such a serious turn in the middle --- and i'm fairly sure that turn is another reason it is so popular, especially, nowadays. (I'm talking about the curse with the beetle).. And the curse plus the two daughters Bullock has can offer a fairly good set up for part 2, which I will cover next. Overall, I liked the film, but it just isn't my kind of film -- borders on horror. I give it 3.8.
