Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen !
Review: A delightfully wicked comedy with a lot of smooth talk from the Devil himself! I love Daryl van Horn's techniques for wooing a lady. I wish I could be like that (dream on). There's lots of larfs and a strange ending. A DVD worth every penny....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Movie Has Two Things Going for It!
Review: A unusual blend of comedy, horror, and religious symbolism, "The Witches of Eastwick" benefits from a first rate score from John Williams and the performance of character actress Veronica Cartwright as the only Eastwick resident suspicious of the mysterious "Daryl." She really "threw" herself into her role of which one must see the film to appreciate the pun!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great cast... Excellent movie
Review: Although Cher's face looked longer than I thought normal, the movie was cast with the perfect combination of talent. I loved the implied orgies instead of seeing a bunch of nudity. I wasn't quite sure of what the three women thought of dear old daddy devil at the end though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Witches of Eastwick
Review: Beautiful, intense, funny and outrageous horror film that mixes with the "toxic" humour of Jack Nicholson as the devil. Cher, Susan Surandon and Michelle Phiefer are excellent in their roles as three sexy women bored out of their mind by their lives, and wish for the perfect man to arrive. When a strange and mysterious man by the name of Darrell Van Horne arrives in their New England town, he bewitches the three friends and they come together as one and become their opposites, as this strange man entangles them into a world of magic, witchcraft, sex and food. When the girls realize that this man may be the devil in disguise, they take precaution and decide to rebel against him...that is until he finds out and their troubles get even worse. This film is wonderfully scored by John Williams (Jaws, Hook) and his music suits the film amazingly. The ending to me, as others have said the opposite, is totally fit for this film and those babies are very cute! All the actors and actresses involved, especially Jack Nicholson and four lead girls, are absolutely superb in their roles. Overall, I'd have to disagree with those reviewers and critics who say this is a bad movie. It is not...it's very riveting and funny, with thrills and chills mixed in with it. Devine entertainment.

Summary: The Witches Of Eastwick (1987)
Review: Cher has spent most of the 80s by starring in a string of films, rather than spending the 80s in the recording studio. She has released a few albums in the 80s, which were 'I Paralyze' in 1982, 'Cher' in 1987 (her second album that was self-titled), and 'Heart Of Stone' in 1989. In 1987, Cher has starred in three movies back to back, which were 'Suspect', where she played Kathleen Riley, 'Moonstruck', where she played Loretta Castorini, and 'The Witches Of Eastwick', where she played Alexandra Medford. The Witches Of Eastwick is a comedy-thriller, containing elements of comedy, fantasy, love, desire, and a little touch of horror.

Taking place in the small town of Eastwick, where nothing really exciting happens, three girlfriends Alexandra 'Alex' Medford (played by Cher), Jane Spfford (played by Susan Sarandon), and Sukie Ridgemont (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) are in desperate need of men who will give them the love they are longing for. All three were married, but they each suffered the three D's: Death, Desertion, Divorce. Alex's husband has passed on: Death. Sukie's husband has left her: Desertion. And Jane's husband had divorced her: Divorce. On a rainy Thursday night, Sukie and Jane drive up to Alex's house to have a girls night out. While drinking martini's and discussing how much they need men in their lives, they start describing what they really want in a man. That literally draws a stranger to Eastwick. He has just bought the Lenox mansion, an old mansion that was owned by Mr. Lenox before he died. Jane is a cello player, and while giving a performance, with all of Eastwick watching, they all meet the stranger. Everyone is interested him, but they all do not know his name. Sukie works for the Eastwick paper and has been asked to interview the stranger, but cannot remember his name.. Alex and Sukie see Jane holding a boque of flowers. Jane says they are from the stranger, but on the card is just the initial D. Sukie suddenly remembers that his name started with a D, and then remembers that there is also an R in the name, as well as an L. She finally remembers his full name: Daryl Van Horne (played by Jack Nicholson). Daryl meets the three women individually, starting with Alex. He invites her to lunch and shows the personalities that Alex has hated in every man she has ever met, but as much as she wants to hate him for his personalities, she can't help but want him in every sexual way. And that, Daryl proves when the two spend the night together. He then meets Jane. He is enthused by Jane's cellist playing. But tells her that her bowing sucks. As he teaches her to let the passion out, Jane becomes more than turned on and spends the night with Daryl. Alex and Sukie go on up to the mansion, where the find Jane there as well. Alex and Jane, still very much turned on, and somewhat in love, find Daryl turning on the charm when he finally meets Sukie. The four go for a tennis match, leading them to take a swim in Daryl's in-door pool, where Sukie and Daryl spend the night together. Three become Daryl's latest flames. But as they continue to have a good time with Daryl, evil things around Eastwick begin happening, such as the death of Felicia Alden (played by Veronica Cartwright), the annoying wife of Sukie's boss, Clyde Alden (played by Richard Jenkins). The three of them decide to cut off Daryl, for they realize that Daryl is not a man, but the Devil Himself...literally. How can they send Daryl howling back to Hell? Watch this fun-filled comedy and find out.

Summary: Entirely too much fun.
Review: Despite being a bit long in the tooth, this film is still tons of fun. Good satire, excellent casting, and a tremendous monologue by Nicholson on the tribulations of having to deal with women.

Enjoy!
