Actually, they specifically addressed the curse being lifted when they first appear in their witch costumes in the end. The first witch cast a spell to protect the women from falling in love, instead it turned into a curse over time to create heartbreak instead of preventing it. When Sally and Jilly's love for each other protected Jilly from a man trying to cause her harm, it forced him out and sealed their blood bond, exorcising the curse along with him. The producers did actually contact witches to make sure they're portrayed accurately to beliefs and how they do spellwork. If a spell is done, it must be reversed to be undone.
@@anaelizamelo762 “Hey guys this is Zuff, and the reason you haven't seen me in videos lately is because I have been unfortunately diagnosed with testicular cancer, and have been going through chemotherapy. It's been brutal for sure, but I have no doubt that I'll beat this and be back soon enough! I hope you guys understand, and I'm going to try to do as much as I can when I'm feeling up for it! Thank you and love you!”
Oh my God, I used to actually hate that song because I've worked in the mall at sunglass Hut and I would hear that song every hour 😂. I would work there after school and on weekends
@@SherriLyle80s yeah, that song was everywhere back then... was impossible to miss hearing it at least 5 times in a day.... so working at the mall I can only imagine! haha!
One of the aunts is Stockard Channing and you're right, she did play Rizzo. The other is Dianne Wiest. You've seen her before too, in Edward Scissorhands.
This is one of favourite movies of all time, seen it 50 times at least. Fun fact in the midnight margarita's scene that was real tequila and all four actresses were really very drunk in that scene.
OMG. I’m about seven minutes in, and the fact that Bryce totally called the way Sally’s husband died had me shook! 😅😂 I’m so glad to see y’all watch this!! It’s one of my favorite movies. ❤
My little sister turned 18 two years ago so its now become a tradition for us 3 sisters to come home and watch this together on Halloween with margaritas!! My older sister is red haired and i have long brown hair and was CONVINCED we were witches as kids because of this movie hahaa Favourite movie ever ❤❤❤
Omg! How did I never realize that one sister who always wanted love kept getting lesson after lesson because she wasn’t patient and then the other sister who didn’t want to find love found him not only once but twice and they were both true great loves. Kinda feel like that’s how life works 😂
SO SAD Zuff missed this because I think he would like it! If you like 90s Sandra Bullock, you should try Speed with Sandra and Keanu Reeves! One of my favorite Sandra movies!!!! Love you all and thanks for the great reactions!
13:00 -- though it's implied to be romantic love (vs explicitly stated), it *is* directly stated that if a _man_ falls in love with an Owens woman; so the love the girls/aunts feel for each other isn't included in that in any case. 15:18 -- Jimmy has the keys with him (twirling on his finger) while he's peeing; that's why they can't leave. 16:48 -- the aunts are gone with the girls to a mystical retreat (they mentioned it while Sally was leaving to go to Jillian, but I think you were talking and didn't hear it); Sidenote: the door hitting Jimmy's head was an accident and not intended, but it looked good/was a touch funny so the director left it in. (The actor also did a good job "staying dead" as it genuinely whacked him in the head but he didn't react to it.) 23:15 -- the piece of rope each of the girls is wearing is enchanted to protect them from harm (as the Aunt's commented on before leaving), which is why they are never present, directly, when Jimmy's ghost influences things/manifests. Also, the aunts and girls snapped out of being "sloppy" drunk when they realized something very dangerous was amiss/present; they were all still drunk (hence the hangovers the next morning), but got super-serious because their instincts kicked in. 28:02 -- she wasn't watching the door for the detective, she was watching the door/hallway in case Sally was coming towards there (as Sally doesn't want the girls doing magic and Jillian has them helping her make the potion to send the detective away). 36:30 -- as Sally notes later, it's the faith/belief that the detective has as channeled through his badge that harmed and warded off (though didn't destroy) Jimmy; it's the same metaphysical principle behind a religious symbol warding off vampires and similar. 43:17 -- the brew in the pot was enchanted to keep his spirit in the underworld/bind him to his grave (death), as Aunt Frances said while stirring the pot earlier in the kitchen. Additional note: it wasn't that Sally conjured the detective out of nowhere, but rather (as intimated in other scenes where the aunts/girls have foresight and magical insight) she as a girl was unconsciously foreseeing the man she would eventually live her life with. Also, if you go back and rewatch those final scenes, Sally remarks (in voice-over) that the breaking of the curse happened when she and Jillian broke the things happening in the circle. ***** I like watching you guys watching "x", but you really seemed to drop the ball paying attention to things being said by various characters in this movie/reaction -- you missed a lot of stuff that directly answered questions you had/weren't "getting" at different times (more than I even time-stamped above, but I just hit the more major ones).
You did a great time with the answers. A lot of this movie does seep more in & you notice more as you watch it more. Though they did miss a lot, but that’s what happens when you watch things & are making jokes & enjoying a movie with others. Though I loved this movie from the first time, I think other people need to watch it a 2nd time to notice more things. Or maybe pay less attention to the detective’s eyes. 😹😹😹
I used to have a huge crush on Aidan Quinn when I was younger. I think I first saw him in Desperately Seeking Susan. And I loved him in Practical Magic.
Eyes changing hues is not unusual for someone with light colored eyes. Rare, yes. But not unheard-of. My dad had hazel eyes and there are times when they appear green.
One of my favorites. I felt bad they had to love with that curse and losing marriages to the grave over and over. Sally and Gillian have a special bond that was able to overcome that burden. I love it. I have midnight margaritas every time this movie shows on tv
There is always one sister with an ‘Active’ power Francis / Sally and one sister with ‘Passive’ power Jett / Gillian. Gillian is good at potions, divination and fascination. Sally is good at casting spells.
You guys might not think the detective is a big deal, but Aiden Quinn's been a hottie for a long time, since the 80s. He was in a really sexy, steamy bad boy movie with Darryl Hannah called 'Reckless', he was gorgeous & funny in 'Desperately Seeking Susan' (with Madonna, but Rosanna Arquette was really the lead). Also played Johnny Depp's older brother in 'Benny & Joon', a great early 90s movie. Also played Brad Pitt's oldest brother in the epic, 'Legends of the Fall'. Also in 'Michael Collins' with Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts & a bunch of great people. So yeah, we GenXers and Gen Jones women have loved him for a long time, and he was still very handsome in this movie.
if you're confused about the drunk scene its implied the bottle was infused with the dark magic of the boyfriend, thats why they were acting so out of their mind
I was so excited to see the channels reaction to this! I adore this channel. Oh my heart this was a such a iconic 90s movie about love, friendship, family, embracing your authentic self, overcoming abuse and you both looked down your nose at it cracking jokes over the entire movie. What a disappointment. 😐 The curse was broken when Sally & Jilly used their Owen's family blood to banish the Angelhoff spirit. Every generation of Owen's women had two daughters, redhead and brunette and one sister always had strong practical magic and one with seductive small magic.
No he won't die, Sally said via voice over that she's not exactly sure how the curse was broken, that something about the love they were feeling with their joint hands somehow reached back through time and healed her broken heart or something along those lines.
I like the magick portrayal being more realistic than the usual pew pew lightning bolts. (Ok, yes, there's resurrection and I don't recommend jumping off the roof, but hey, it's still a movie, give it some slack.)
This is the house most women put at the top of their “movie houses I would move into yesterday” list. Also if you go to a stylist and tell them you want “Practical Magic hair,” 90% of the time they’ll understand what that means.
This is such a comfort movie. That house was everything. I really wish I lived there. Btw Sally has more of the practical magic, Gillian has sexual, seductive magic.
Never imagined someone would react to this. This is a great movie... came out when I was a Freshman in High School, and I have watched it so many times. It never gets old; it's an all-around good movie. Rob saying he was glad Jimmy died like 2 or 3 times made me laugh. Neither thought about it that way, but if anyone deserves to die over and over again is that sociopath. P.S.: I'm pretty sure they mention at the end that they broke the curse, I think Sally and Gilly's love broke the curse or something like that.
While everyone is gushing over ‘Hocus Pocus’ in October, I’m basking in the glory that is ‘Practical Magic’. It’s a rare example of a film being much better than the book it’s based on. In the novel, the supernatural elements are far more subtle which I think would have made the film rather dull if they were faithful to the source material. A few pieces of trivia for anyone who’s interested: 1) ‘Practical Magic’ is the first of 3 novels. The second, titled “The Rules of Magic” is based on the upbringing of the aunts and their brother (also a witch) and the third “Magic Lessons” which is the coming of age origin story of Maria, the matriarch of their family. 2) The film changed a variety of things including the setting; both sisters move away from the family home in the novel causing most of the events to occur at Sally’s home in the suburbs. Sally does not own an apothecary of any kind but rather works at school. They opted for brunettes and redheads in the film instead of brunettes and blondes. Lastly, all the Owen’s family members share a signature grey eye color. 3) While they leave it somewhat ambiguous in the film, the aunts are actually Sally and Gillian’s GREAT aunts. I always felt the film implies their mother, Regina, was the aunt’s sister when in fact, she is their niece; she’s the daughter of their brother who I mentioned earlier. That said, the second novel which outlines this detail didn’t come out until 2017. 4) The house in the film is just a shell while the interiors were a sound stage. The house was constructed purely for the film and promptly torn down at the end of filming; furthermore, the land used for the location of their house was a preserve and there were strict guidelines they had to follow in order to film there including they couldn’t “break ground”. This meant the lush gardens and vegetation depicted in the film are actually built ABOVE the ground, not in it.
First, I had no idea there was a book, but I think I did get the impression Jet and Frances were the aunt to Sally and Gillian's mom from the movie. I had no idea there were any brothers in the family, though it makes sense for the name to carry forwards in time. While it's reasonable that Sally, in the 1980s-1990s could have kept her maiden name or maybe her husband took her name out of love for her, it's a lot less likely to find that as you go back in history. I think I just sort of assumed that Maria had a daughter who had 2 daughters of her own, and so on and so on down the line, but that would mean there would be a LOT of Owens witches running around New England, lol. That, or only one of the daughters in each generation had two daughters of her own. But either way, there had to be more than 2 kids per generation for Jet and Frances to be the aunts to Gillian and Sally, or one of them would have been called Grandma.
The spell young Sally cast wasn't to create man, it was a spell on herself that she would only fall in love with someone who possessed all of those qualities she imagined. She thought no one would ever possibly possess those qualities, therefore she guaranteed that she would never fall in love, but unbeknownst to her, that boy actually already existed.
I love how magic is depicted in this movie... as something very natural, fluid, part of the nature - as Miss Snape would say . no silly incantations or wand waving. The whole "night talk" scene between two sisters...like...was she there for real, or not, or was it just in their dreams...I love it
Yes, other than the silly halloween roof closing scene it is very authentic and real about how actual bloodline witchcraft works I love how they just "have gifts" individually and they manifest when ready for them, how it is totally internal and almost instinctive when used.... with just a bit of knowledge and instruction and tools training as time passes. This is indeed how real witch gifts exist and are refined.
One of my faves to watch at Halloween! I always wanted to live in their house, lol. So glad you guys reacted to it! And definitely agree with some other comments I’ve seen, you guys should also react to another Sandra Bullock classic, While You Were Sleeping.
So, how I understood it as a kid was that her first "true love" (her husband and children's father) died, and therefore "took one for the team" if you will. So, thereby letting Gary (Hallet) be free from the curse. Her kids will still suffer though and theirs and so on. But like I think if your first true love dies, then that opens the door for you to still love another and have them not die. That's how I saw it anyway.
This movie brings back gives me soooo soo much nostalgia!! Love love love this one! It reminds me soo much of my best friend and Halloween. And my best friend’s mom’s maiden name is Owens.
So it’s not actually a goof with the eyes. Aiden Quinn actually has one green eye one blue. It’s not edited in. It’s rare, but not impossible pigmentation of the eyes. It might not have been as visible in other lighting in the movie, but his eyes naturally are that color.
The curse was broken and no.. Officer Hallet didn't do anything wrong, not a crooked cop, because it was truly an accidental death... Do you really think he should have prosecuted the sisters? For Jimmy?! A murderer! No! So no going after Gary ... he is one of the good guys.
Because the two seem to be often spoken in the same breath, I will admit that I’ve always preferred this movie over Hocus Pocus. Maybe it’s the power of Aidan Quinn that compels me or the combined acting talents of Quinn, Kidman, Bullock, Wiest and Channing, with support from Chloe Webb and Margo Martindale, and an assist from Goran Visnjic (Luka from ER, to me!). I’ve never cared for the characters in Hocus Pocus! Atanyrate, this was a fun surprise in August. Keep it coming, and I’d love to see a reaction to Dead Calm - especially in October…
Part of her spell was that he would know her favorite song. And in the kitchen when sally is getting plates ready she starts to hum and almost instinctively he follows her as he’s flipping the pancake that’s something els the daughter noticed.
Officer Hallet’s badge (star) is his talisman, a personal protective charm. Sally explained earlier that as a cop, he believes it to have power to help him stop the bad guys, and that kind of belief gives it power in multiple ways. It wards off Jimmy in the attic, not killing him, because Gary uses it as a symbol of protection, stopping Jimmy from doing any further damage to them… In that scene at least 😅. Great reactions ❤
I think they lifted the curse but even if they didn't. I really believe Gallet it's safe because he's part of a spell. It's not real. That's kind of sad but at the same time they can both live the rest of their lives feeling like they're in love.
36:34 new ghosts that are confused can be shown that they’re dead through reflection and it shocks them into passing on. Usually you bury it with them after placing it facedown on their heart. It’s why he latched on to Jill.
@@JoeBreeVideos it’s what was taught to me by my grandmother. She practiced witchcraft, while i practice Wicca. The creator put in several accurate practices. I do need to read the book and see if it explains it.
Would love to see you guys react to a few more of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidmans best films IMO. 28 days, cold mountain, speed, while you were sleeping And the blind side. Great reaction both. Hope zuff is recovering and feeling better ❤

Exactly. Listen to Sandra's voice-over at the end, it goes over to curse being broken
Missing Zuff in these reactions! Hoping he comes back soon with a full recovery! 😁 love all you guys on the reaction videos
what happened with him?
@@anaelizamelo762 he's in treatment for cancer
@@anaelizamelo762 “Hey guys this is Zuff, and the reason you haven't seen me in videos lately is because I have been unfortunately diagnosed with testicular cancer, and have been going through chemotherapy. It's been brutal for sure, but I have no doubt that I'll beat this and be back soon enough! I hope you guys understand, and I'm going to try to do as much as I can when I'm feeling up for it! Thank you and love you!”
yesss I miss when zuff says out of pocket stuff and Bryce and rob being flabbergasted lol .
I hope he gets better soon
@@rach._. Man, I didn't see that before. I'm sure he'll be back soon. I miss him in the videos :/
Thank you for explaining!!!
not bryce being a “this kiss” by faith hill stan!!!! taste!!!!
That song gave me life when I was a kid, and if I'm honest it still does.
Oh my God, I used to actually hate that song because I've worked in the mall at sunglass Hut and I would hear that song every hour 😂. I would work there after school and on weekends
@@SherriLyle80s yeah, that song was everywhere back then... was impossible to miss hearing it at least 5 times in a day.... so working at the mall I can only imagine! haha!
They broke the curse when they did the spell at the end, that's why you saw the original witch:)
I watch this every Halloween. It's a classic, it's as important to watch every October as Hocus Pocus.
Agreed!💯
Absolutely
Yes! I love this movie and this time of year.
Why watch that movie?
It's just a bunch of hocus pocus.
Ha
One of the aunts is Stockard Channing and you're right, she did play Rizzo. The other is Dianne Wiest. You've seen her before too, in Edward Scissorhands.
Not related, but Nicole and Dianne were also together in Rabbit Hole a magnificent movie about losing a son.
“I wished for you too.” “OH!” The best!
Oh, this is such a pleasant surprise! Thank you. Do also check out 'While You Were Sleeping' (1995). One of Sandra's best. 🧡
Yes, and Speed, Hope Floats, Miss Congeniality, Two Weeks Notice, The Lake House, The Heat, Gravity, Ocean’s 8 and more! LOVE Sandy Bullock! ❤
While You Were Sleeping is perfect for the holidays/winter. And I know the guys would love it.
This is one of favourite movies of all time, seen it 50 times at least. Fun fact in the midnight margarita's scene that was real tequila and all four actresses were really very drunk in that scene.
OMG. I’m about seven minutes in, and the fact that Bryce totally called the way Sally’s husband died had me shook! 😅😂
I’m so glad to see y’all watch this!! It’s one of my favorite movies. ❤
Bryce is a secret Owens 😄
Supposedly since July of this year practical magic 2 is in development and won’t be released until sometime in 2025. Super excited for it!
My little sister turned 18 two years ago so its now become a tradition for us 3 sisters to come home and watch this together on Halloween with margaritas!!
My older sister is red haired and i have long brown hair and was CONVINCED we were witches as kids because of this movie hahaa
Favourite movie ever ❤❤❤
Omg! How did I never realize that one sister who always wanted love kept getting lesson after lesson because she wasn’t patient and then the other sister who didn’t want to find love found him not only once but twice and they were both true great loves. Kinda feel like that’s how life works 😂
Hands down, this is the BEST fall movie!! 🍂
Yes, that is Stockard Channing who played Rizzo in Grease. She's a legend.
SO SAD Zuff missed this because I think he would like it! If you like 90s Sandra Bullock, you should try Speed with Sandra and Keanu Reeves! One of my favorite Sandra movies!!!! Love you all and thanks for the great reactions!
At the parents meet, what Gilly did was snap shut the binder rings which the mom had her fingers on.
Fun fact, the oldest redhead daughter is Evan Rachel Wood. She does the singing vocals in Frozen 2 as the glowing entity, "Elsa's Mom"
She also did all her singing in Across The Universe

IM DYING i was waiting for your reaction to the bad cgi eye color reveal hahahaha
You guys made fun, but this movie is super cute, wholesome good times. Bring on spooky season.
Yall making fun of the investigators accent sent me over the edge 😂
Would love to see you react to While You Were Sleeping! It's a 90's rom-com with Sandra Bullock. Great for Christmas time!
The Colin Bridgerton shirt is just the cherry on top for me!
One of my favorite movies of this type. It's not really a rom-com but it's got romance, comedy, fantasy, scary stuff etc. It's just amazing.
"One of these boys is gonna be a victim later!" Took me straight out 😂
It's Bryce singing "This Kiss' for me! Lol
One of my favorites. I felt bad they had to love with that curse and losing marriages to the grave over and over. Sally and Gillian have a special bond that was able to overcome that burden. I love it. I have midnight margaritas every time this movie shows on tv
There is always one sister with an ‘Active’ power Francis / Sally and one sister with ‘Passive’ power Jett / Gillian. Gillian is good at potions, divination and fascination. Sally is good at casting spells.
The practical magic music makes me so happy!
This movie legit makes you happy when you watch it!!!
Practical Magic is probably my favorite movie to watch around Halloween. I love it so much. I think I've been watching it since 98 lmao
Stockard Channing(Rizzo in Grease) is the aunt that says "No it was fate!"
You guys might not think the detective is a big deal, but Aiden Quinn's been a hottie for a long time, since the 80s.

All I could think of is what amazing hair Nicole and Sandra have in this movie 😳
Love that you guys watched this! My sister and I facetime every October and watch together. Doesn’t feel like Autumn until we do. 🖤✨
This is such a comfort movie. That house was everything. I really wish I lived there.
Btw Sally has more of the practical magic, Gillian has sexual, seductive magic.
42:25 this is exactly what I shouted when I first saw this part 20 years ago! "Sisters! Their blood! Sister blood."
i don't know why, but the "it's a woman finger" @10:58 knocked me out hahahhaaha
I love that in the Night Margharitas scene they were actually drunk 😂
Oh my god!!! It's one of my favorite movies and I can't believe you're reacting to it!!!!! Thank you!!!
They don’t only have girls. The aunts had a brother in the book prequel.
this is me, and my best friends favorite movie! it’s such a comfort movie for us & makes feel so warm & fuzzy. ❤

The house was constructed purely for the film and promptly torn down at the end of filming; furthermore, the land used for the location of their house was a preserve and there were strict guidelines they had to follow in order to film there including they couldn’t “break ground”. This meant the lush gardens and vegetation depicted in the film are actually built ABOVE the ground, not in it.
There's actually a fourth book. It came out a few years ago. It's a chronological sequel to Practical Magic.
@@CJBailey372I had no idea! I’ll have to look it up.
First, I had no idea there was a book, but I think I did get the impression Jet and Frances were the aunt to Sally and Gillian's mom from the movie. I had no idea there were any brothers in the family, though it makes sense for the name to carry forwards in time. While it's reasonable that Sally, in the 1980s-1990s could have kept her maiden name or maybe her husband took her name out of love for her, it's a lot less likely to find that as you go back in history.
I think I just sort of assumed that Maria had a daughter who had 2 daughters of her own, and so on and so on down the line, but that would mean there would be a LOT of Owens witches running around New England, lol. That, or only one of the daughters in each generation had two daughters of her own. But either way, there had to be more than 2 kids per generation for Jet and Frances to be the aunts to Gillian and Sally, or one of them would have been called Grandma.
The spell young Sally cast wasn't to create man, it was a spell on herself that she would only fall in love with someone who possessed all of those qualities she imagined. She thought no one would ever possibly possess those qualities, therefore she guaranteed that she would never fall in love, but unbeknownst to her, that boy actually already existed.
I love how magic is depicted in this movie... as something very natural, fluid, part of the nature - as Miss Snape would say . no silly incantations or wand waving. The whole "night talk" scene between two sisters...like...was she there for real, or not, or was it just in their dreams...I love it
Yes, other than the silly halloween roof closing scene it is very authentic and real about how actual bloodline witchcraft works
I love how they just "have gifts" individually and they manifest when ready for them, how it is totally internal and almost instinctive when used.... with just a bit of knowledge and instruction and tools training as time passes.
This is indeed how real witch gifts exist and are refined.
Miss?
@@kathleenclark815 yaaas 'casuse she' s a diva, honey :D
One of my faves to watch at Halloween! I always wanted to live in their house, lol. So glad you guys reacted to it!
And definitely agree with some other comments I’ve seen, you guys should also react to another Sandra Bullock classic, While You Were Sleeping.
Just in case you ever need it, the plans for their house were posted online.....
So, how I understood it as a kid was that her first "true love" (her husband and children's father) died, and therefore "took one for the team" if you will. So, thereby letting Gary (Hallet) be free from the curse. Her kids will still suffer though and theirs and so on. But like I think if your first true love dies, then that opens the door for you to still love another and have them not die. That's how I saw it anyway.
One of my favorite movies growing up!!
Loving the reaction and the Colin T-shirt ❤❤❤
Guys u need to watch The Others with Nicole! Amazingggg
Pretty sure when Gilly first visits Sally she’s astral projecting ✨
Can't wait for Practical Magic 2
I wish Zuff was hers😢 he would appreciate the romance aspect of this movie
Remember they established that they don’t age like normal, and ghosts are weak to silver.
The hilarious part of the contacts discussion was the actor was wearing contacts as he has brown eyes! 😂😂😂
That lady IS Rizzo in grease 👍
Yes that is beloved rizzo from Grease, Stockard Channing 😊
Nope, he wont die. The curse was broken through the sisters connection.
This movie brings back gives me soooo soo much nostalgia!! Love love love this one! It reminds me soo much of my best friend and Halloween.
And my best friend’s mom’s maiden name is Owens.
So it’s not actually a goof with the eyes. Aiden Quinn actually has one green eye one blue. It’s not edited in. It’s rare, but not impossible pigmentation of the eyes. It might not have been as visible in other lighting in the movie, but his eyes naturally are that color.
Birth year 1998… god I feel old! 😂
The Craft for Moms. Lol it’s a good movie but when he said The Craft- I was like omg 😱
The curse was broken and no.. Officer Hallet didn't do anything wrong, not a crooked cop, because it was truly an accidental death... Do you really think he should have prosecuted the sisters? For Jimmy?! A murderer! No! So no going after Gary ... he is one of the good guys.
He did have one blue and one green eye throughout the whole movie but more noticeable in different lights
Lmao you guys were out of pocket with your accents 😂😂😂
I was about to say when Rob realized Rizzo yeahhh
rizzo in grease.. yes, right on
Just to make it clear: anyone is out of Aidan Quinn's league. Hope Zuff is doing well, we miss him!
So cozy. Makes me want to watch all the 90s spooky/witchy movies.
PUT THE LIME IN THE COCONUT. Y’all could’ve watched this with mocktails
Because the two seem to be often spoken in the same breath, I will admit that I’ve always preferred this movie over Hocus Pocus. Maybe it’s the power of Aidan Quinn that compels me or the combined acting talents of Quinn, Kidman, Bullock, Wiest and Channing, with support from Chloe Webb and Margo Martindale, and an assist from Goran Visnjic (Luka from ER, to me!). I’ve never cared for the characters in Hocus Pocus!
Atanyrate, this was a fun surprise in August. Keep it coming, and I’d love to see a reaction to Dead Calm - especially in October…
this is one of my fav movies EVER
Part of her spell was that he would know her favorite song. And in the kitchen when sally is getting plates ready she starts to hum and almost instinctively he follows her as he’s flipping the pancake that’s something els the daughter noticed.
Officer Hallet’s badge (star) is his talisman, a personal protective charm. Sally explained earlier that as a cop, he believes it to have power to help him stop the bad guys, and that kind of belief gives it power in multiple ways. It wards off Jimmy in the attic, not killing him, because Gary uses it as a symbol of protection, stopping Jimmy from doing any further damage to them… In that scene at least 😅. Great reactions ❤
I think they lifted the curse but even if they didn't. I really believe Gallet it's safe because he's part of a spell. It's not real. That's kind of sad but at the same time they can both live the rest of their lives feeling like they're in love.
i think this movie holds a nostalgic place despite the actual plot 😅
This is on my October Halloween rotation. What a perfect film. Sandra and Nicole are so good
Bryce's Colin Bridgerton shirt. 😂😂😂
OMG OMG OMG NOT MY FAV FALL MOVIE 😭😭😭😭
My best friend & I have matching necklaces that say “I wished for you” “I wished for you too”😭😭
OMG! Just in time for fall 🍂🤩
Another great Sandra bullock movie, Devine secrets of the Ya-ya sisterhood.
36:34 new ghosts that are confused can be shown that they’re dead through reflection and it shocks them into passing on. Usually you bury it with them after placing it facedown on their heart. It’s why he latched on to Jill.
Is this from the book?
@@JoeBreeVideos it’s what was taught to me by my grandmother. She practiced witchcraft, while i practice Wicca. The creator put in several accurate practices. I do need to read the book and see if it explains it.
Would love to see you guys react to a few more of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidmans best films IMO. 28 days, cold mountain, speed, while you were sleeping And the blind side. Great reaction both. Hope zuff is recovering and feeling better ❤
I loved Cold Mountain
If you see this, Zuff, hoping you are getting good rest and having good laughs ❤ much love to you and hope to see you back on the channel soon 🫶
One of my favourite ever movies 😍
Midnight margaritas!!! 🍋🟩🍹
