	SPLICEDwire: "Practical Magic" review
		I was rolling my eyes in the first 60 seconds when the movie opened with a colonial history lesson about a family of witches while one of them is shown about to be hanged (the usual burning or drowning would be too gruesome for a light comedy).
		I knew at that moment, "Practical Magic," in which Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock play sibling sorceresses unlucky in love, would be the kind of inconsistent, contradictory story that only employs the covenants of its genre when the script called for it, and not when it would be logical to do so.
		"Practical Magic" assumes the audience to be too dim to catch these yawning chasms in the plot.

	Practical Magic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Practical Magic is a tale of two sisters, Gillian and Sally Owens, brought up by the two elderly guardian aunts in a world of spells and exotica from which they eventually escape - one by running away, the other by marrying - but which never escapes from them.
		Many years go by before strange circumstances thrust them together again, and again they are in a world that blends the mundane and the mysterious, the familiar and the fantastic, the normal and the numinous.
		Three generations of Owens women are then united in an experience of unexpected insight and revelation, teaching all of them that the perceptions provided by what is called the magical are rare and wonderful - and to be sure, practical - endowments.

		I got it mail-order, and was seduced by the number of pages advertised, but with it being a treatise on magic from circa 1895, it seemed to have little relevance for me. Thirty seven years on, it's a fascinating historical document and source of magical concepts.

		Since William Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream focuses on a strange fairy world of fantasy and magic, it would appear to cry out for the liberal use of digital effects.

	Practical Magic Movie Review by Anthony Leong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Using her magical powers, she manages to survive the ordeal, much to the dismay of the townsfolk.
		However, her story does not end happily after this-- she is abandoned by her lover while pregnant with his child, and in despair, she casts a spell dooming any man who falls in love with any of her descendants.
		The details and development on the two Aunts are spotty (they even disappear from the film for most of the second act), while the presence of Sally's daughters seems to be aimed at injecting sentimentality and comic relief into the story.
