Movie Reviews of Hocus Pocus
Movie Review: Very fun Halloween movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great.
It totally gets you in the Halloween spirit, even if you're an adult (at least it works on my parents and they're pretty tough to crack!!).
It's not scary enough to mess with really little kids but it's got enough to make them feel like they actually watched a scary movie.
It's got a good cast, has a fun story and the soundtrack is fun also. Costumes and setting look allright to me also but since I'm not a critic, I wouldn't really know.
Have fun with this movie, you won't be disappointed no matter your age!!
(Also check out Nightmare before Christmas which is ok for little kids and Fright Night which I'd recommend for kids that are at least in 6th grade. Fright Night is fun and pretty scary, the costumes would mess with younger kids though).
Movie Review: THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time i saw this movie, i fell in luv with it!!! It is my favorite movie of all time! I think its soooo funny how the 3 witches, from the 1600's, are brought back to life in the 20'th century! I luv how they react to the firetruck, the bus, and the road (which they think is a black river), and the sprinklers when Max(Omri Katz) puts a lighter to it.(no, theres no smokeing in this movie) :>This is a very, very, very..., funny movie, and i watch it ALL THE TIME!!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!
And you won't be waisting your money. IT IS A GREAT MOVIE!!!
(i think i'll say that again!) IT IS A GREAT MOVIE!!!
And i hope that someday they will have a sequel 2 it. And they need to make commercials saying that there will be a dvd coming out for it.
WELL, WHOEVER MADE THIS MOVIE UP... GrEaT Review: A wonderful film, but not for young children
Summary: 5 Stars
Hocus Pocus is the best Halloween movie I've ever seen. Three hilarious witches, Winifred, Mary, and Sarah, have returned from their grave one creepy Halloween night, and have not been in Salem in three hundred years! I am not going to give the kind of review where I just blab on about how wonderful this movie is. I'll say that Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker do a fabulous song at a party, and the movie is very funny. While it is a Disney G-rated movie, I don't recommend it for children under 8 or 9 years old. The witches fly through the sky and sing, "Come, little children, I'll take thee away, here in my land of enchantment, come, little children, the time's come to play, here in my garden of magic." It is creepy, and they talk about hell being 'lovely' and virgins. But overall, a super movie!!
Movie Review: Glorious For Anyone Who Loves Halloween
Summary: 5 Stars
If you grew up where I grew up, Halloween was THE biggest event of the year - and all these years later, I still love the sights, smells and spirit of that most magical night.
In Hocus Pocus, you might not find true horror, blood and guts, body parts and roaming zombies (um, wait...), but you do feel the gorgeous allure of the season through the crunchy-leafed scenery, the exquisite set design, costuming, innocence of youth and the somewhat corny (if not over-acted) witchy zeal of the wonderful Sanderson sisters. Okay, the plot wouldn't win a Pulitzer Prize, but for sheer fun and enjoyment, let Hocus Pocus transport you to a time and place where witches ruled and moms still impersonated Madonna in cone cupped bustiers. PS: Did I mention I have my own black cat named Thackery Binx?
Movie Review: A Halloween Blast for any time of the year!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember when this movie first came out at the theater. We went to see it late at night for a "Sneak Peak" showing. It was great then, and stands up to the test of time. Fantastic performances from everyone...even the kids did a great job. It's just scary enough, just funny enough for the whole family. We watch it all the time. It never gets tiresome or old...a classic you are sure to enjoy. My only dilemma with it is that the portrayal of witches is so negative, I have found myself having to explain to my children that not all witches are "bad," and this is Hollywood's invention...not really close to the reality of witches at all. I would imagine that most folks won't find it necessary to defend the reputation of witches, but I did. Again, a great film for the whole family!
