F This Movie!
by Rob DiCristino Midnight Margaritas, anyone? 1998’s Practical Magic is the cinematic equivalent of a boozy Galentine’s Day brunch: Like 9 to 5 , Thelma & Louise , and Mystic Pizza before it, the Griffin Dunne-directed comedic fantasy/romance is far more interested in celebrating the indefatigable power of sorority than with building any complex drama or character intrigue. Believe it or not, that’s a compliment! We love to celebrate female relationships in cinema! We love watching brassy, foul-mouthed dames climb the corporate ladder! We love romantic shenanigans set in a quirky New England pizza parlor! We love suicide pacts with bisexual overtones! And you’d better believe we love a seaside Victorian lousy with horny witches! While it may have been a critical and commercial disappointment upon its original release, it’s that very same Ladies Being Gals energy that has solidified Practical Magic ’s place in cult cinema history for nearly thirty years. The Owens sisters’ story is one of empowerment. Of sisterhood. Of the singular satisfaction that comes with burying an abusive fuckboy in your aunts’ garden. So, fuck it! Practical Magic 2 ! Why the hell not? Here we go: A generation has passed since Sally (Sandra Bullock) lost her husband to an ancient curse that dooms each and every one of the Owens’ true loves to a brutal death. Determined to conquer her grief and safeguard her family’s future, she’s sealed off her magic and deceived her daughters (Joey King as Kylie and Maisie Williams as Antonia), both of whom have grown up in the shadow of rumors about their aunts’ (Stockard Channing returning as Frances and Dianne Wiest returning as Jet) supernatural predilections. It’s all smoke and mirrors until Kylie confesses her love to college hunk Gideon ( Blue Beetle standout Xolo Maridueña), who — as if by otherworldly decree — immediately gets pancaked by a car and put into a coma. Now, with the help of an ancient text that might hold the key to dismantling the Owens family curse, Sally and her tequila-loving, ride-or-die sister (Nicole Kidman as Gilly) must reveal their darkest truths and free themselves from the shackles of this deadly spell once and for all. But, look. I’m going to be honest with you: That couldn’t matter less. Sure, Practical Magic 2 — based on Alice Hoffman’s 2021 novel The Book of Magic and co-written by Georgia Pritchett, Kelly Marcel, and, as was the case with the first film, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman — technically has a plot. It’s about Kylie’s quest for answers, a quest that will lead her to an ancient English witch burning site and into the clutches of the duplicitous scion of a hidden Owens bloodline (Solly McLeod as Thomas Lockland). Sally and Gilly will follow her, of course, enlisting the help of charming demonology professor Ian Wright (the impossibly tall Lee Pace) with whom — and you’ll be shocked to hear this — Sally will develop a romantic relationship. But, come on. You don’t care about that at all, do you? I didn’t! My eyes started glazing over every time Gilly explained the left-handed magic that haunts the Book of the Raven or Whatever the Fuck It’s Called. I think there’s a needle that will open the cursed pages? Maybe? I’ve already forgotten. That’s because Practical Magic was never about witchcraft. It was never about spells. It was never about the sort of convoluted technical lore that would make your local dungeon master cream in his pants. Not a single person showing up for a sequel to the “midnight margaritas” movie gives a flying fuck about Wiccan arcana, sacred incantations, or the Book of the Raven’s Beard (I swear, I saw this movie last night and I can’t remember what that thing is called). No, the people who religiously rewatch Practical Magic every fall when the leaves turn know that it’s all about the feminine vibes. It’s about the effortless chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. It’s about the endless warmth — and fabulous fits — from Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest. It’s about dancing around the kitchen in spaghetti-strapped tops because, for crying out loud, no one understands you like your sister. Why do these movies even bother featuring men? They’re always the most annoying part! Why kiss a stupid boy when you can hide under the covers with your best girlfriend? Anyway, this is supposed to be a review: Is Susanne Bier’s Practical Magic 2 a quality exercise in filmmaking craft? It is not! It’s haphazardly directed, poorly edited, and features a second act so mind-numbingly boring that you’ll resent the entire British commonwealth for forcing a pair of toe-headed douchebags into your estrogen extravaganza. But none of that matters when Sandra Bullock is dropping double — sometimes triple — entendres under her breath. None of that matters when Nicole Kidman is slinking around the margins of every shot like a sex-crazed poltergeist. None of that matters when we’re reminded that sometimes a movie is just about a bunch of women who love each other. Women who support each other in moments of fear and doubt. Women who recognize that growth is the fruit of ambition, of reckless whimsy and dogged self-confidence. Practical Magic 2 celebrates the unbridled joy of connection, the confidence that comes with leaning on the people who know and love you best. That’s what you wanted, isn’t it? Here it is. You’re welcome. Practical Magic 2 is in U.S. theaters now.

It lost to Slither . • Best Scene/Moment: The Devil’s Flight rollercoaster derailment at the beginning. • Best Song: “Tribal Dance” by 2 Unlimited. • Best Merch: A “ Final Destination 3 Movie Promo Portable Fan…” which you can bid on for $19.99. On one hand, a portable fan always comes in handy. On the other hand, it seems obvious this will be the cause of your death if you buy it. • Director Grade: Final Destination 3 was directed by James Wong. Great Movies: N/A Good Movies: Final Destination, Final Destination 3 OK Movies: N/A Bad Movies: N/A Unseen By Me: The One, Dragonball Evolution Overall Grade: B • Double It with This 2006 Movie: Saw III • Year 2006 Movies to Trailer Before Them: The Grudge 2, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Underworld: Evolution • Ella McCay or Final Destination 3 ? Ella McCay • Mall Movie? Yes. Horror sequels are almost always mall movies. • Only in 2006: A character brings a Panasonic PV-GS39 MiniDV camcorder on a rollercoaster. • Scene Stealer (tie): Kris Lemche (who looks a little like The Trickster in Brainscan in this) and Tony Todd (RIP). • I Miss (tie): James Wong-directed Final Destination movies and Tony Todd. • I Don’t Miss: The lovefest for Final Destination Bloodlines . I don’t get it. It’s cool if you’re a fan, but yeah, I must have missed something there. • 2006 Crush: Mary Elizabeth Winstead. • 2026 Crush: Mary Elizabeth Winstead. • What I Thought in 2006: I liked it. Up to that point (in 2006), Final Destination 3 was my favorite of the franchise. I didn’t understand why it was considered bad when it was first released (maybe it was just by the critics, but I thought fans didn’t like it either initially). At least that’s what my memory of it is. I’m pretty sure its reputation improved in subsequent years. • What I Think in 2026: I’m not the biggest fan of the Final Destination franchise but I still like Final Destination 3 (it’s now my second favorite in the franchise after the original). I think it suffers from a weak finale, but Mary Elizabeth Winstead gives maybe the best performance across the whole series and the opening sequence with the rollercoaster crash is suspenseful and the rest of the set pieces are fun, too.

by JB A few (extremely) short subjects for a boring Tuesday morning. George Méliès is, by popular acclaim, the father of fantastic cinema. Born to a wealthy family in 1861, he eschewed his family’s boot business for a life in the theater. He invented dozens of illusions for the Theater Robert-Houdin in Paris, named for the French magician who would later supply young American Eric Weiss with his “nom de magic.” Méliès eventually bought the theater. In 1895, he attended the Lumiere Brothers’ first public film exhibition. The Lumieres refused to sell Méliès a camera and projector, so Méliès travelled to London and persuaded Robert Paul to sell him the equipment he needed. The theater Robert-Houdin soon started showing short film programs between magic acts; most of the films directed by Méliès himself. Méliès was prolific: he made 78 short films in 1896 and 52 in 1897. He continued to make films until 1912 when a bad confluence of events essentially ended his film career. Today, only about 200 of 500 Méliès's films still exist. Méliès destroyed most of his original negatives, thinking them worthless; the French army confiscated many of his prints during WWI; and the delicate nitrate film was subject to deterioration and fire. The majority of Méliès’ films that were preserved can be found at the Library of Congress. Méliès’ brother Gaston submitted paper prints of each frame of the “Star Films” in order to preserve copyright when he set up an American branch in 1902. Gugusse and the Automaton (1897) This one is the star of the show. Long thought lost forever, it resurfaced just this April and was restored by the Library of Congress. Besides being a hoot, it is the first example of a robot on film in cinema history. NOTE: Many is the day I wish I had a big sledgehammer like the one Méliès wields in the film. Four Troublesome Heads (1898) Yes, it seems at times that Méliès was in love with the head, specifically his own. In this film and in others like 1901’s The Man with the Rubber Head , the chief action of the film revolves around magic with the director’s own noggin. Strange. NOTE: I love how the background music here is played on a banjo, as Méliès himself is shown playing/wielding a banjo here when his strange quartet starts singing. The Mermaid (1904) More magic shows. My one quibble with Méliès is that, although his films got longer and more elaborate, he never really progressed as a filmmaker. The camera is always in the fifth-row center; he is always simply duplicating the theatrical experience. He never tires of making objects and people disappear and change into other people and objects, as in a magic show. Still, its impressive that his audience never tired of these “old tricks” for some fifteen years. NOTE: The mermaid presented here longs to be part of your world. Satan in Prison (1907) Not the most entertaining of Méliès’ trick films, but this one rounds out our program simply because of its odd title. NOTE: That is not the actual Satan in the film. It is an actor. Enjoy.
