This weekend, for a lack of anything better to do, I watched 3 Nicole Kidman films. 2 of which were on the local channels and 1 was an old rummaged DVD that I found on our treasure trove - a box full of old DVDs that most probably haven't been even opened.
1. Practical Magic - I missed this film immensely. This was one of the films that made me interested in witchcraft and all about wicca. Even before Harry Potter and all the craziness about witches and witchcraft, this film was already made. It wasn't very detailed on the witchcraft but it still showed interesting scenes like resurrecting the dead (which doesnt quite work the way you want it to be), cursing yourself to never fall in love (id love to do this) and promising to die together (id love to die with every single human being on this planet! bwahahah!). Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock may never pass off as sisters by blood (the distinct facial features are so different) but they do make great witches. Plus Across the Universe's Evan Rachel Wood plays Sally's daughter here.
Favorite Line: (honestly, I cant remember anything)
2. Bewitched! - another witchy watchy film also shown on a local channel was actually cute to watch. Although I really hate the guy, whoever he was. He just didnt fit as Kidman's partner, she's too beautiful to be paired up with someone like him.. but then as they say, love is blind... hahaha. The effects was cool though and Nicole Kidman was as usual, superb.
Favorite Line: I'm a witch. :)
3. Moulin Rouge - we actually have a copy of the film and it was still unused. Amidst the action movies and suspense series, Moulin Rouge's red cover and gold letterings were shouting at me. I fast forwarded some annoying scenes when I watched this but I still enjoyed it. The songs are still amazing even though I have been familiar with most of them and the actors looked really good. This is one psychedelic film to.. in a theatrical operatic way.
Favorite Line: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. <3
Anyway, watching reruns of past movies really brings back weird odd memories but watching these films made me happy, somehow. :D
