Movie Reviews of The Witches
Movie Review: A childhood classic not to be missed!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the imagination of Roald Dahl who wrote the book for The Witches as well as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda. I have been impressed with all the film adaptions (including both versions of Charlie with Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp). I have a feeling this one slipped under the radar and it's such a charming, magical adventure story. Angelica Huston looks beautiful here as the Grand High Witch of England. This is one of my favorite Angelica movies next to The Addams Family and Manhatten Murder Mystery. The story revolves around young Luke who is left in the care of his grandmother Helga after his parents are tragically killed in an auto accident. The grandmother who has a history with witches gives Luke all the warnings about how to look for them. The Witches, disguised as "nice old ladies" roam throughout England looking to wipe out all the children they can. Luke and his grandmother then decide to a take a vacation to a seaside hotel where The Witches are holding their annual meeting. After Luke has an unfortunate encounter with The Witches, he and his grandmother decide to turn the tables by giving them a taste of their own medicine! The theme of the movie may seem scary for kids to watch but it's all handled nicely. This is a terrific and enjoyable family-film not to be missed! I think this is much superior to Hocus Pocus, another family film about witches. Movie Review: perfect gift

Summary: 4 Stars
My girls aged 7 and a half and 5 loved this movie,and so did I for that matter. From the moment Luke's grandmother starts telling him all about witches and how you could tell if someone is a witch, we were enthralled! If your kids get easily scared, then i wouldn't recommend it. If my nieces were to watch this they wouldn't be able to sleep by themselves for a month. Not that it's over the top scary, but just the theme of the movie might get some little ones paranoid. My kids love a great story and once we've watched it together, they'll watch it on their own afterward.
Great story and great special effects to keep the kids captivated.
Movie Review: "Enchanted", delightful fantasy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this originally in VHS. Loved it so that I bought it on DVD. What a great movie for ALL ages. I watch it with my two grandaughters and watch it even alone. Absolutely a must see to transport you to a place where witches really exist. Luke was adorable and so lucky to have a wonderful grandmother to take care of him. She had her own experience with a witch when she was a child. Anjelica Houston was great and I cannot say enough about this fairtale-like presentation. Five stars!Movie Review: EXCELLENT MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything about this movie is first rate.The acting is A+, especially with a strong performance by Anjelica Huston leading the way.The plot however differs a bit from the book.However, I STRONGLY recommend this movie.My only regret is that I waited a long time to see it.Since I bought the DVD I have seen it multiple times.IMHO, the DVD is missing a making of featurette.
