PRACTICAL MAGIC

Fun and excitement abound in the Owens family of wily witches. One problem though: the men the Owens women fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman sparkle in Practical Magic, adapted from Alice Hoffman's best seller and directed by Griffin Dunne (Addicted to Love). They play Sally and Gillian Owens, sisters hexed by a centuries-old curse...and copying with a witches' brew of events involving a possible love-match (Aidan Quinn) for one, a zombie (Goran Visnjc) for the other and a need to resume the age-old witchcraft taught by two doting Owens aunts (Stockard Channing and Dianne West). Sit for a spell and enjoy!
